Devaki (Suman Ranganathan) is forced into a marriage with a seventy years old man. On the night of the marriage she is brutally raped by the brother of the impotent old man in order to establish the age-old practice of physical dominance of the male over the female. In protest to the feudal practices, Nandani (Perizaad Zorabian), an urban girl, who has come to the village to work as an N.G.O. activist, quits her job and comes back to the city.

But soon Nandani finds out that the urban life is no different. Economically betrayed and physically used by her lover, Nandani desperately joins an advertising agency. But she is shocked to find out that her father, who has deserted the family many years back, owns the agency. The father comes up with a proposal for Nandani to sleep with one of the clients in order to procure a business deal.

Meanwhile, Devaki develops a relation with a low caste runaway boy. For the first time in her life, she felt loved and valued and an escape from her tormented daily life. But the villagers catch them in the act of lovemaking. They are produced before Panchayat. Devaki is made to stand with holding a heavy stone on her head. The villagers and the Panchayat come to judgment to auction Devaki to the highest bid and pay the money to the seventy-year old husband. Once again another old man buys her.

Meanwhile, Nandani decides to sell her self to the old client, as a revenge on her father.

The film makes an introspective journey into the lives of two women coming from strikingly different background and proves the point that irrespective of the social condition, literacy level or the economic status, women in our society are still treated as commodities.
