Output (English): Kannada psychodrama based on the truelife case studies of the Pai couple, practicing psychiatrists and the films producers. Usha Shruthi, daughter of a retired school teacher, turns down a marriage proposal from a progressive USbased engineer in favour of university colleague Vikas Srikant. Vikas abandons Usha when his oppressive father demands a dowry she cannot pay. After psychiatric treatment, Usha joins a rural voluntary organisation where she falls for its leader, Francis Suresh Heblikar. The demise of her second lover after local gossip takes on religious overtones causes a further psychological crisis. The psychiatrist in the film Girish Karnad, representing the producers, offers a sociological critique of the events.
