Courtesan Moti Bai rejects a smitten Gangadhar's gifts for her given by his helper Khudabaksh. Astrologer Neelkanth Shastri mistakenly gives Manu's horoscope to Tatya Dikshit, an aide of Gangadhar, and recommends Vadrayan's child Vaishali for Gangadhar. Gangadhar's black commandos set up his meet with Moti Bai, during which he lauds her musical skills and tries to win her heart. At a mela, as Manu sees Vaishali's anklet with Nana, a quarrel erupts between Tatya Tope and bigoted British horsemen.
