Story
In the 1930s many idealistic middle-class Hindu men adopted a celibate-muscular version of Hinduism. (The Boy Scouts movement in the west and celibate versions of Islam were also doing the rounds around the same time--for young men from their respective communities.) ' Brahmachari' means 'celibate' and the film's hero Audumbar (Vinayak) has resolved to be celibate. However, saucy, playful Kishori (Meenakshi) leads him away from the straight and narrow, partly by appearing in a swimming costume.
The film, in effect, poked fun at this celibate-muscular version of Hinduism.
