Acharya is a college lecturer in Bombay who moves to a small rural village to accept a teaching post at the village's small college where he soon becomes entangled in a conflict between the village's two polical rivals, Balli Tai and Harpod Singh whom are jocking for power control while their children, Balli's trouble-making son Rajbir, and Harpod's docile son Pratap, both fall for the same woman, a young newcomer named Sundari, for her affections which spill out into all out war with Acharya acting as a buffer and mediator to prevent the conflict from getting any more out of control.
