The eldest daughter of a poor family with no sons goes to the City to earn money the only way she can. There's tears, romance and songs.
A secondary story that seems forced fills time after the intermission, but by the end the two threads come nicely together as one.
My major gripe with the drama was that we’re supposed to believe the well-dressed family at the heart of it is close to poverty. The reality of poverty in India is a lot less rosy than that. It made me less sympathetic to everything that followed. It was interesting seeing a woman fill the traditional male role, but it’s predictable and drags its heels for a long time.
