Spoilers ahead
Dhananjay Mane is a street-smart cosmetics salesman in Pune who harbors a quiet, unspoken love for his boss, Madhuri. He shares a cramped life with his younger brother, Shantanu Mane, and two long-time friends, Sudhir and Parshya. Their dream of steady work in the city is tempered by a stingy landlord, Vishwas Sarpotdar, a man who keeps a tight leash on everyone who rents from him. On top of this, Sudhir has been harshly disowned by his old uncle for his lack of conventional job success and a penchant for village dances, while Parshya, who once worked for Chhaburao the theatre contractor, loses his job after his love for Chhaburao’s daughter Kamli becomes known. The stage is set for a collision of ambition, love, and a mounting need for shelter.
