Spoilers ahead
Chennabasappa, Shreeram Lagoo, is a successful manager of a reputed firm in Bangalore and lives with his devoted but docile wife Saroja, Indrani Mukherjee; son Nandu, Anant Nag; and daughter Uma, Padmini Kolhapure. He wants to build a house for his family in Bangalore and desperately needs money. He decides to sell his plantation spread across several acres in his ancestral village to a soap company. The plantation has been looked after by a very poor caretaker Baswa for many years who was Chennabasappa’s loyal servant. Upon knowing Chennabasappa’s intentions, Baswa becomes agitated as he considers Chennabasappa’s act to be something close to the rape of one’s mother. In his view, the piece of land is like one’s mother (sign of fertility) that Chennabasappa sold for money.
