Plot
Krishna (Ajai Rao) is the local Romeo in his village whose charms strangely enough do not work on anyone until of course he lays eyes on Radha (Sanjana Anand) whose father is the richest man of the locality. Radha is also less than pleased at first with Krishna’s overtures but it doesn’t take her long to fall for him and defy her family for a life with him. Trouble is Radha had been promised to her maternal uncle. Can Krishna and Radha build a life together after all?
