A Church-like Hindu order provides the
spiritual context for this unusual story about
the extinction of a lower-class alcoholic’s
family. The drunkard Mohan (Prabhakar, better
known for villainous roles) is married to
Sharada (Prasad), a cultured music teacher
employed in a Hindu ashram, who tries to
reform her husband. The villain in this allegory
of a Hindu community is a Christian, Antony,
who tries to rape Sharada and later kills Mohan
shortly after Sharada is diagnosed as terminally
ill with cancer. Sharada dies before she can find
adoptive parents for her children, but the
saintly head of the ashram (Srinath) does this
for her. The film also has a few comic scenes,
e.g. in a bar, where a series of jokes culminate
in a song talking about the plight of Kannadaspeaking
people in Bangalore city.
