Aapla Manus

Aapla Manus is a story of young couple Bhakti & Rahul living in an urban area. The couple lives with the Rahul's father Aaba. Rahul is a lawyer & Bhakti is a college professor. Rahul's partner in the law firm Nitin is also his good friend

One day late night Aaba falls off their balcony & admitted to hospital. Inspector Nagargoje who looks very similar to Aaba & of same age comes for questioning Rahul. Rahul narrates him about bickering relationship between his father & wife. As a consequence their son Nishu is sent to boarding school so that he is not affected by this. 2 days before the incident they have a short 2 day trip to Lonavala which Bhakti leaves half-way & the two return next day.

Nagargoje accuses both of them for abetment to suicide. He provides evidence that Aaba has committed suicide, which both deny. Later they get a call from hospital stating that Aaba has recovered from Comatose state however he is still unconscious. Later Rahul tells Bhakti that he had a showdown at Lonavala with Aaba & that could have triggered his suicide. Nagargoje calls them to his home late night & tells them it is not a suicide case. Both are enraged at him for causing such mental agony, however since they cannot do anything they leave peacefully. Next day Nagargoje meets Rahul at the court & puts a seed of suspicion that his wife has attempted to kill Aaba. Rahul wants to test his theory & brings him home. Nagargoje confronts Bhakti with evidence & finally she breaks downs. Rahul tries to defend her, however she confesses that she has attempted to kill Aaba with help of Nitin.

Later Rahul visits Nagargoje & tries to convince him to drop charges. He tells him that the only way to save his wife is he has to confess to the crime & he would plead for lenient punishment in the court. When he returns home Bhakti tells Rahul that Nagargoje had visited her earlier in the day & told her that he suspects Rahul has tried to kill his father. To bring about the truth, she & Nitin should play along with him, confess that she attempted to kill Aaba & then Rahul would narrate the truth in a bid to save her.

Next day Nagargoje comes with arrest warrant for Rahul & provides new evidences (which he had ignored earlier) to prove that he has attempted to kill Aaba. Rahul is arrested & later bailed out by Nitin. After a few days they receive a letter from Aaba which is a suicide note. Nagargoje later tells them that note or the signature did not match with Aaba's handwriting.

Later Aaba regains consciousness & narrates the whole incident which was a plain accident & everyone is relieved. When they meet Nagargoje they have a lengthy discussion on eroding emotional bonding between parents & children. Both of them realise their mistake & ask forgiveness to Nagargoje & Aaba.

The film ends with estranged Nagargoje's son visiting him (apparently after a long time) as he is on his way to perform his last rites before his death (assuming his son won't be there to perform his last rites)
