Rama, a suspicious woman, lands herself in hilarious situations while trying to impress her husband, Madhav. Meanwhile, Dr Bagaram, a failed doctor, is in love with Ratan, Rama's sister.

In an act of jealousy, Mambaji kills Raghuji's prize-winning bull, abducts his daughters and hits him, damaging his memory. When the daughters grow up, they try to find the truth from the past.

Sada is imprisoned for a crime his friend, Daulatrao, committed. Suspecting that his wife and Daulatrao may be having an affair, Sada escapes to kidnap his own newborn.

Fatakdi is determined to avenge her father's death by trying to manipulate the murderer's son into revealing the truth and takes help from a local policeman named Bavlya.

A love tragedy featuring a policeman, Ganpat (Modak) and a prostitute, Mainal (Hublikar). Ganpat saves Maina from a police raid on a brothel and they fall in love. Her reputation and sense of guilt resist his attempts to rehabilitate her. Ganpat's respectable middle-class mother (Sundarabai) symbolizes all that Maina would like to be, but she is arrested for murdering her evil uncle and refuses Ganpat's offer to release her from prison.

An unusual Marathi war movie which mobilises and updates a historical/regional chauvinism associated with 17th-C. Maratha emperor Shivaji. Major Subhanrao Malusare, a direct descendant of Shivaji’s legendary lieutenant Tanaji Malusare, continues a proud family tradition by winning the Victoria Cross as an Allied officer fighting against Italian fascists in WW2. When he dies, his wife Savitri (Uma) vows that their son will never join the army. However, during the India-China conflict (1962), when her son’s friend is killed, she enjoins her son to fight for the nation even though the boy’s death would mean the end of the ancient clan. The film updated the rousing sentimentalism associated with Shivaji historicals into the present via songs such as He bharatiyano aika balidan katha veeranchi.
