Story

Asha lives a poor lifestyle with her parents in Bombay. When her mother passes away, her dad turns to alcohol in a big way, and also brings home her stepmother, who is also an alcoholic and dislikes Asha. When Asha befriends Guddu, she throws him out of the house. In anger, Asha pushes her down the stairs and kills her. When she grows up, her father sells her to R.K. Chakravarty for a suitcase full of cash. Chakravarty marries her, but she remains frustrated, as he is impotent, incapable of loving her. Then she gets a parrot as a pet. When the parrot attempts to fly away, she clips its wings. When her car breaks down, she has it serviced at Auto Services, and when motor mechanic, Jaikumar Sharma, returns it to her house, she thinks her friend Guddu has returned, seduces and has sex with Jai. She frequently breaks her car down, and asks Jai to repair it, but he refuses to go along with her seductions. When she finds out that he has fallen in love with a girl named Robby, she decides to do away with her - and whoever else attempts to stand in her and Jai's way.
