Chanda (Pinky Parikh), a pleasant village girl & the only daughter of the village chief Ravaji (Mularaj Rajda) falls in love with Sooraj (Pankaj Goswami), a folk musician & brother of Manu (Devkumar Shah) – a servant of Chanda’s father Ravaji.
As it happens in a conservative society, Ravaji disapproves the relationship of Chanda & Sooraj. In spite of the efforts of Chanda’s mother Savita ( Jayshri Parikh), Ravaji arranges Chanda’s marriage with his friend Shamji’s (Mrugank Majmudar) son.But, Chanda flees away with Sooraj. Annoyed by the incidence, Ravaji takes hold of manu & his wife and keeps them in captivity. To save his brother, Sooraj surrenders to the village chief and disappointed Chanda decides not to return to his father’s home & runs away.
A gang of scoundrels kidnap Chanda & sell her to a woman known as Begham (Hansa Lakod) who runs a brothel.
Eventually Chanda adjusts herself with the atmosphere even though internally she is very unhappy with the situation. The only solace for her is a mad man in the red light area. The old man (Devendra Pandit) had lost his daughter to this area and since then he had lost his mental balance.
Eventually Chanda comes across a regular visitor of the brothel, Manoj (Bharat Thakkar) who is a toy hawker. Manoj decides to marry Chanda and for the first time in the history of that red light area a prostitute departs alive wrapped in the bridal costume.
With dreams of a happy family life Chanda begins her life of a house wife.
First time ever in the history of the film industry of Gujarat State, a huge set of the red light area was created for this film. For decades majority of the Gujarati films were made based up on either folk or mythological subjects.
Nobody had ever dared to touch any subject based upon a prostitute's life before.
Shyam Shah took up the challenge and gave a completely unprecedented creation "Mann, Moti 'Ne Kaach".
Produced by Mrs. Manisha Contractor under the banner of Seema Films,
the film was based upon a story written by the then Superintendent of
Police of Western Railway (India) Mr. K. H. Das. It was based upon a true event he had witnessed during his long career as a police officer.
