Overview

The film is a perfect satire aimed at the urban elite especially those with artistic inclinations, namely artists and their patrons. It depicts their apathy towards the society at large while they get away, by the way of small talk and prosaic conversations at parties. Things comes to a reveal at the party hosted by Damyanti Rane (Vijaya Mehta), a rich middle-aged widow and well known patron of the arts in the city, where all the cognoscenti of the urban milieu, makes a beeline to.

The party is hosted in the honour Diwakar Barve (Manohar Singh), a celebrated playwright, who has just been awarded the prestigious National Literary award. Gradually, all the conversation gears towards the real winner, Amrit, an immensely talented and promising writer-poet who left the urban humdrum to work with the tribal community.

Amrit though not present their in person, presents himself again and again, in their conversations, reminds them of their banality, deceit, and their utter callousness towards the society, which brings them at cross-purpose with true aim of all art and artistic endeavours.
