Saraswatichandra revolves around Saraswati Chandra (Manish), who is forced to part ways from Kumud Sundari (Nutan) when she marries Pramad (Ramesh Dev). As a result, Saraswati Chandra has to bear heartbreak, and he decides to leave everything. At that time, Kumud inspires him to move forward in life and live for his people. Set in 19th-century feudalism in India, the film won the National Film Awards in the Best Cinematography and Best Music Director categories.
