Hamida Bai who was an accomplished Tawaif whose gayaki was unmatched and unparallel of any during those times got her to the peak. The Kothi received not only name and fame but also a `Rutba` and Adab` and stood in the highest regard.
Times do change, and so did Hamida Bai Ki Kothi. With the advent of Gramophone and Films, the audiences started moving out of the expensive Kothis and preferred the less expensive entertainment in the comfort of their homes. For Hamida Bai recording voice is a sin she never wants to commit because she believes in the originality that the almighty has bestowed upon her. Kothi becomes broken, and Saida the leading singer dancer walks away from the Kothi resulting in the burden of Hamida Bai`s strict ethics. Not a single penny left, her daughter Shabbo who studied and stayed in Hostel and whom she deliberately had kept away from this culture walks in after her mother could not send fees for months.
Hamida Bai succumbs to illness. Will Shabbo be able to restore the glory of Hamida Bai Ki Kothi?
