Spoilers ahead

Radha [Smita Patil] and Ramu [Mithun Chakraborty] come from a family of singers, but their lives are shaped by hardship from the start. Their parents, Shyam [Satish Kaul] and Sita [Sarla Yeolekar], travel to Jalpaiguri to perform in hopes of earning enough to cover the monthly rent. The family’s precarious poverty is laid bare as Shyam and Sita pour their hearts into songs, even as the work is grueling and the days grow long. During one particularly bold performance, the pair push boundaries with their stage presence, and in that moment the life of the family is forever altered. M. Singh [Amrish Puri] notices Sita, and what follows is a brutal turning point: Singh stops them on the way home, murders Shyam, and assaults Sita.
