Anant Welankar, a police officer, meets Jyotsna Gokhale, a lecturer in literature at a local college.
They seem to hit it off despite some initial skirmishing about ideology, and the friendship blossoms into a relationship. But the job is harsh. There is a deep nexus between the local mafia, the cops and the politicians. Ananant falls among the lower rungs of the police hierarchy and has very limited scope of authority on the state of affairs in his area. He is sent away when he is sent to run for city council in the upcoming municipal elections and cannot afford to let a petty matter distract him from his ambitions.
