| Bhakaspur is the name of a remote village in Maharashtra. Burdened under debts from their dubious sarpanch “Ghotale”, the villagers have no time for anything other than slogging and repaying their debts. The schooling of their children or the progress of their village is of no concern to them. The entire village is run by Ghotale, and all the villagers agree and abide to every instruction given by him as all their lands and homes are pawned to Ghotale. The highlight of Ghotale’s character is that as much as his actions seem to be funny, his evil streak has no boundaries. In the same village, there is a simpleton named “Namdev”, who comes back to his village after getting married to “Bakula”. As per the traditions, he goes straight to Ghotale’s house with his wife to seek his blessings. But one look at his wife and Ghotale is left speechless. He is absolutely bowled over by Bakula and falls head over heels in love with her. Then and there, he decides in his mind to get married to her, by hook or by crook. Inspite of Namdev being an important part of Bakula’s life, Ghotale tries to woo her in his own way. Namdev, in turn, tries to keep her out of Ghotale’s way and in all this confusion, all Bakula wants is to lead a happy married life with her husband. Ghotale’s wooing, Namdev’s simplicity and Bakula’s tit-for-tat attitude with Ghotale creates such hilarious situations that it guarantees to keep you in splits! |
