Viruddh Plot

With his wife Sumitra, Vidyadhar Patwardhan leads a middle-class lifestyle. The family relies on the income of their son Amar, who resides abroad in London, United Kingdom. Then, when Amar and his fiancée Jenny Mayer return home, everyone is happy to see them. Both had negative opinions of Amar's drinking behaviour. Amar kills himself in a quarrel while his parents are busy planning a surprise birthday celebration for him. A distraught Vidyadhar and Sumitra plan for his funeral and then follow up with the police to ensure that the killer, Harshvardhan Kadam, who has been identified, is found guilty.

The police account, which differs significantly from Vidyadhar's, states that Amar and Jenny were involved in narcotics smuggling, a struggle broke out, and Amar was slain. After confessing to killing Amar over a drug fight, two men are later slain in a police encounter. Jenny is then taken into custody for drug possession and kept in a cell. After that, she receives her release and goes back to London. Harshvardhan is found not guilty at both the trial's start and end, leading Vidyadhar and Sumitra to wonder if Amar & Jenny were actually involved in drug use or if it was all fabricated to seem that he was.
