Sunder, a ten year old village boy, is encouraged by his poor parents to find a job in the city. He joins a dysfunctional family in Delhi as domestic/companion. He bonds with his employer Mataji (Honoured Mother) and her beautiful daughter-in-law Damini who is the sole earning member of the family. Mataji’s son, Manu, is unemployed and depressed. Damini has an admirer and Sunder, Mataji and Manu worry that she may leave the family. Sunder confides his worries to his friend, Bubbli, daughter of a neighbour. His wish for security leads to a traumatic event in the family.
