+Set in Rajasthan, the film tells in flashback the
+story of the slave woman Sanichari (Dimple).
+She was abandoned by her drunken husband
+(Ganju) and her son Budhwa (Yadav) left when
+she rejected his shrewish prostitute wife
+(Mukherjee). The Pandit (M. Singh) harasses
+her, but she finds sympathy from the famous
+professional mourner or rudaali, Bhikni
+(Raakhee), summoned by the local potentate in
+anticipation of his death. Bhikni, after she dies
+unexpectedly, turns out to have been
+Sanichari’s long-lost mother. Sanichari,
+hardened by sorrow and no longer able to cry,
+becomes the mistress of Laxman Singh
+(Babbar). Eventually, mourning the death of
+Bhikni, she breaks down and becomes a
+rudaali like her mother.
