The film revolves around the lives of various characters interconnected by the bustling marketplace (bazaar) of Hyderabad. Najma (played by Smita Patil) is a spirited young woman who works as a saleswoman in the bazaar.

However, Najma is already in love with Akhtar (played by Farooq Shaikh), a humble and sincere young man who works in the bazaar.
