The ox-cart driver Hiraman almost falls into the hands of the police and promises never to transport illegal goods again. A little later he had an accident with a load of bamboo and swore never to transport it again. When a woman asks him to take her to a fair 40 miles away, he agrees.
It is the beautiful Hirabai that Hiraman grows dear to the heart during the journey. What Hiraman not know is that they are using their Nautanki stimulates -Tänzen the men and earned her living as a courtesan. The local Zamindar Vikram Singh is already targeting them.

criticism
The sentimental story touches on the widespread sexual oppression of women, but ends up turning its sympathy on the disaffected Hiraman instead of the woman. The film is notable primarily for its seamless, lyrical sequence of images and for Kapoor's best rendering of his archetypal film character.
