When times are bad - wits fizzle

When 'Luck' smiles - life giggles

That is the story of PARDESSAN a beautiful young damsel who, out of innocent aspirations, left her house and became selfstyled stranger lost in the stormy struggle for existence. As the left her home, everything left her. She lost her peace, her sleep, her

sweet smiles, the loving sound of her clinging bangles, the rosy odour of her decorated palms, and finally she lost her hold on favourable luck.

Like every young girl, she loved sang, danced but all the time suffered like a rocking toy in the hands of Fate.

At last the lady luck did smile at her- and the life was all bed of rose for her.

what all this self- styled stranger-girl sang, danced, loved and suffered; and how the miraculous turning point came in her life which changed the course of her erstwhile agonies, that has to be seen on the screen to be believed.
