In the film, Sandhya a Brahmin dancer i.e. Sridevi falls in love with Hari Mithun Chakraorty, a Dalit. She visits her maternal grandfather who is a staunch Hindu pundit accompanied by her father and Hari, to perform at the village temple, where her grandfather is the headpriest. There, the grandfather decides to get Sandhya married to his adopted grandson Nandu Rakesh Roshan, who is also a priest at the temple, but with a broader mind. Hari, citing the apparent caste difference, urges Sandhya to marry Nandu.Hence Sandhya marries Nandu. However on their wedding night, when Nandu enters the bedroom, he sees a Devi in Sandhya, and not his wife. This continues for a few nights, and people start talking about Nandu spending his nights outside the house. Before long, Sandhya confronts Nandu at the temple and asks him to try and accept her. Here Nandu tells her that he sees a Devi in her, and not his wife, because she belongs to someone else and not him. They are bound into this marriage by the Pundits chants, mantras, and the seven pheras, but Sandhya has taken the eighth phera, which is the phera of the heart and mind, with someone else, and thus she belongs to that person alone, and must go back to him, whoever that may be. ........
