Dashrath returns to his village Gehlore
after 7 years.
He meets a girl at a fair on his way to the village and is besotted with her. Later, he
comes to know that it's his wife Phaguniya.
But Phaguniya's father arranges her second marriage against her wishes. Dashrath elopes with her on the day of marriage.
SHANDAAR! JABARDAST! JINDABAD!
Catchthem!

They begin a happy life together.
One day she crosses the mountain to bring him his lunch and......she slips
and seriously injures herself...
which eventually leads to her death.
Dashrath Majhi is deeply disturbed and that very night he decides to carve a path through
the Gehlour mountain so that the village could easily access
medical services.
