Plot summary
In the 1980s, the industry minister Jamnalal Tripathi dies, and a place in the Central Cabinet opens. Dadasaheb, a former chief minister of Maharashtra who advises the ruling party at the center, has two daughters married to politicians, and he sees the opening as a chance for his younger son-in-law, the minister Daulat Rao Deshmane. Nanasaheb Jondhale, Dadasaheb's older son-in-law, an MLA, takes Daulat to the door of a well-known dancer, Chandramukhi. Daulat means to leave, but the sound of her ghungroo and dholki stops him, and their first exchange of looks holds him. He skips a meeting in Delhi the next morning and goes back to her with Batasharao, a former Songadya. Daulat and Chandramukhi begin to meet often.
