Gulab Kothari of Madhya Pradesh wants to teach his young, reluctant son the art of playing taashe, a widely celebrated musical instrument in the vicinity. Desperate to pass on his family lineage, he forces Shiv to sit with him and learn the instrument. However, nothing helps the old father until Shiv witnesses a young girl dancing gracefully to the beat of taashe. 
Immediately, Shiv is in complete awe of the sweet girl, Jugni and decides to impress her by learning the instrument. He starts to look after his appearance, tires his father out by long, multiple lessons and even starts to save money to buy Jugni a pair of ghungru. Little does our young protagonist realize that amidst his innocent fantasies and dreams, rests a grotesque ugliness of the adult world. Right when his plans are about to achieve their goal, a staggering conclusion awaits the narrative, one that changes things in a lasting manner for the little boy, and leaves the audience with a pressing social message.
