Plot

Diwakar is a poet and loves his wife Jamuna more than anything. But Jamuna feels that Diwakar lives in a fantasy world and is irresponsible in the real world. Diwakar creates a muse from his imagination, who looks exactly like his wife and whom he calls Mohini. Diwakar becomes a recognized poet and Jamuna gives birth to a boy. Unfortunately, the happiness does not last long as Diwakar loses his job because of critical songs against the British. Now he can no longer feed his sickly father nor his son. On top of all this, Diwakar's obsession with Mohini shows no sign of abating, forcing Jamuna to leave their home.
