In the beautiful village of Kokan, India, Bablya resides with his parents Digya and Nanda. Despite their pleas, Bablya is determined to join a Dashavtaar theater group traveling to Russia, convinced it offers a better life. This choice strains his relationship with Digya. In Russia, Bablya builds a life, falling in love with an Indian-Russian woman. They have a beautiful daughter and work at a pub until tragedy strikes—an altercation leads to their untimely deaths, leaving their daughter, Pari, orphaned. Upon hearing the news, Digya and Nanda rush to Russia, discovering Pari in a foster home. Hindered by regulations, they fight to bring Pari back to Kokan, India. Amidst memories of Bablya's happy home, they arrange his last rites with the help of Chandu, Bablya's friend. Permission granted, they bond with Pari, but their attempts to integrate her into Kokan fail. The school principal advises that Pari belongs where she can flourish. Despite resistance, Nanda realizes Pari's rightful place is in Russia, where she ultimately returns her, acknowledging that Pari can only thrive where she truly belongs.
