Plot
Sadashiv Dada Kondke is the son of a rich urban family. As a remedy for an unspecified childhood illness, infant Sadashiv is moved from an urban environment to a rural environment. In a village, he is raised by a simple couple whom he regards as his parents. As a young man he falls in love with a village girl played Usha Chavan. When the time comes for Dada to marry, his parents inform him that his biological parents live in the city and want him to settle there. Sadashiv bids tearful farewell to his village and its inhabitants and travels to the city of his birth parents. The rest of the movie deals with the young man's comic struggle to adjust to city life, and the corruption and hypocrisy he encounters.
