[2] Set in Bengal, Guru Dakshina begins as an ode to classical dance forms, with the guru-shisya (teacher-student) relationship at the heart of it.

However, Dev's one-sided love for Guruji's daughter Sanjukta (Sulagna Panigrahi) changes their lives forever.

Sanjukta finds herself seduced by Chhau dancer Gambhira (Rajesh Shringarpure) instead, who seems like a man of dubious intent.

Dev suspects Gambhira's motives and warns Sanjukta but she doesn't pay heed.

Post marriage, Gambhira shows his true colours, thus ruining the life of his wife and Guruji.
