Plot
editThe film shows the life of three unemployed youths Riyaz, Krishna and Vivek. They spend their lives in Riyaz's bicycle shop discussing the lavish life rich people have. All of them were trying to build up love affairs but all efforts were in vain as girls were not interested in them. Later they try to engage a woman sex worker to fulfill their lust, but that also goes in vain when she charges more for her service. Later Vivek comes up with a plan to rape a nun. The idea behind the plan was that being a nun she will not tell about the incident to the outside world. Their plans work out well as the church did not make the news public but expels her from her service as she becomes pregnant. Later Riyaz starts to feel guilty and pleads with her to marry him but she objects. Later the film ends with Riyaz committing suicide outside Aneeta's house.[1][2][3]
