In this art-movie, Mithun Chakraborty (aka Mithunda) plays the role of a tribal boy Ghinua whose job is hunting. The story is set in an era in India when brahmins did not allow lower caste boys to study in school. In one scene, when Ghinua (Mithun as a young boy of 8-10 years) hides behind a village school and tries to learn what was being taught. Suddenly a student sees him and complains to panditji(school-master). The school teacher who is a brahmin had such a hatred for low caste people that he heats up a metal wire in fire and wraps it around the little boy's body for his mistake of trying to learn. The signs of burns are revealed much later in movie when mithun unwraps his shawl.
