EDITOR'S PICK
Arun leads the people of Hadbahedi to dress up the town to welcome Chintu. Chintu arrives in Hadbahedi along with Devika Malhotra, a young, dynamic, smart and intelligent executive of the PR agency hired to help realize Chintu`s political dreams. Chintu is a nuisance at Hadbahedi and treats the innocent people of Hadbahedi with contempt. Devika however is able to relate to their simplicity and love for Chintu. Matters worsen when Chintu meets with an accident which immobilizes him and forces him and Devika to stay put in Hadbahedi. Arun and Devika get along well and their romance blossoms through the story while ruthless Chintu is falling prey to the tempting monetary and political offer made by Triphla.
In the meantime, an anxious Mumbai producer Malkani decides to finish his film featuring Chintu, at Hadbahedi itself. Arun mobilizes the town to help the guests in accomplishing their task.
Arun has a troublesome past. He would’ve come to hide in Hadbahedi 6 years back! Arun`s past continues to haunt his relationship with Devika, and to make matters worse a person from the past appears in Hadbahedi!
The town by now starts getting the media and government’s attention due to Chintu`s stay in Hadbahedi. Arun leads the entire movement. Prosperity follows, and the urban vices become a threat to Hadbahedians.
Several comic and poignant situations follow. Then Arun becomes a witness to the secret meeting of Chintu with Triphla and he assumes that Devika is hand in glove with Chintu in this. Tensions follow but Arun and townsfolk will not speak ill of Chintu as their own reputation shall suffer. Devika, moved by the gesture, leaves Chintu and joins Arun.
Throughout the film and at it’s climax the simplicity
and goodness of the town folk is pitted against the selfish and ruthless behaviour
of Chintu and other visitors. Chintu with the tempting offer from Triphla, on
one side, and Arun Devika with the townsfolk on the other, are at the middle
of a see-saw climax while concurrently Arun’s past unfolds for the audience.
