The film involves two "warring clans", the Marathas and the Bhil tribe, along with a young couple in love, much in "a Romeo and Juliet" style story setting.
Synopsis
The Marathas and the Bhils have been living in peace and mutual respect for a period of twenty-five years, due to the efforts of the two chiefs, the Maratha Patel and the Bhil chief Maruti. The Maratha Patel's son died at a young age and his nephew, Balaji, is being considered by the Patel to replace him. However, Balaji is against any sort of cordial relationship with the Bhils, and opposes any favourable treatment given to them. This upsets the Patel, who falls ill. He realises the consequence of Balaji succeeding him and regrets his decision made earlier to that effect. He wants to send a message to the Diwan (Chief Minister) that Balaji should not become the Patel following his death. The letter is intercepted by Balaji. The old chief dies, making Balaji the new Patel.Actors
