 Kriparam is an elderly, widowed male, living all by himself in his flat in Bombay, India. His son, Ajay, and his wife, Prema, occasionally visit him and keep him company, but their visits get fewer. Then when Ajay has to leave abroad for business, he asks a displaced but honest government employee named Ram Mohan, and his family, to move into his father s house and live there rent-free on the condition that they look after him. Ram Mohan and his family agree and they all move in with Kriparam, leaving Ajay free to travel abroad. Months later when Ajay returns he finds everything has changed. His father had suffered a heart-attack, was hospitalized, and is now recuperating at home; Ram Mohan is being held in jail for accepting a bribe; and Ram s daughter s (Priti) marriage with Anil Trivedi, has been canceled due to Ram s arrest. Ajay must now find out what went wrong, and if at all his father had a hand in this.
