Raja Paranjpe’s directorial breakthrough features the famous Marathi humourist, playwright and stage star P.L. Deshpande. Krishna (Deshpande) goes to the city looking for work and promptly falls for the folk Tamasha dancer Mogri (Wadkar). She is presented as a gold-digger, as the hero eventually realises after he is beaten up. Paranjpe, writer Madgulkar and composer Phadke became an established team.
