A young man, Surya, is made to look after some land by his father. Surya was married away before being sent off to the patch of land, though his wife will join him later on as she is not of age yet. Surya is brash and disregards the caste system allowing Laxmi, a woman who works for him, to make him tea and cook him food. When Laxmi's deaf-mute husband runs away Surya invites Laxmi to live in his house with him and the two start an affair, causing the gossip to spread among shocked neighbours.

The look at the caste system here is very well handled making its point about how the system strains communities and relationships and yet never saying this in a heavy-handed fashion. The central couple are both completely convincing, in particular Shabana Azmi as Laxmi whose performance was often breathtaking, helping add to the hugely affecting emotion of the film. The ending is tremendous, the film is gorgeously photographed and it all plays out beautifully.
