In the present day, they are expecting Pournami (Trisha), the elder daughter of the family, to dance on the occasion. Unfortunately, just before the festival, she goes missing. Everybody thinks that she eloped with someone. Then, everybody's attention turns to Pournami's younger sister Chandrakala (Charmy) to dance on the occasion, but their father (Chandra Mohan) disagrees. Later, it is revealed that Pournami has not eloped, but her father sent her away to protect her from their village Zamindar (Rahul Dev) who wants to make Pournami his concubine. He fears that the same fate might befall Chandrakala, and he does not agree to teach her dancing.
