The four fables referenced in the film are ''Tejimola'', ''Champawati'', ''Ou Kuwori'' (The ''Outenga'' Maiden) and ''Tawoir Xadhu'' (The Story of Tawoi). Once upon a time, Senehi (Zerifa Wahid), a schizophrenic woman who loathes her stepdaughter, plots her murder when her husband is called away on a distant trip on business. Her husband, Devinath (Adil Hussain), encounters a woman called Keteki (Urmila Mahanta) who has given birth to an ''outenga'' (elephant apple), which rolls around after her. Devinath resolves to unearth the mystery of the ''outenga''. Meanwhile in another village, a rich woman named Dhoneshwari (Seema Biswas) is getting her daughter married to a python - a wedding that has dire consequences for the girl. As these three stories unfold, another mother, Malati (Asha Bordoloi), resolves to save her newest born from the clutches of her husband Poonai (Kopil Bora) and his uncle, who have sacrificed all three of her previous babies. In doing so, she unearths a shocking truth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kothanodi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
