Betiyann is a story of a Gujrati family that depicts the mindset of most of the middle and upper middle class families of society. It shows the psychology of individuals who still believe that society can be run and governed by men only.
Suryakant Garodia is one of such individuals. He is a known, respected businessman whose family indulges in the business of making traditional Gujarati 'bandhanis' and his family has been doing this for the past four generations. Because of this reason he is one of the most respected and richest individuals of the area. For him it is just not a business but matter of pride.
Suryakant worries if this honor and family business end with him and if there be someone from his next generation who will maintain the old family's pride and uphold the business?
After giving birth to three daughters, his wife Savitri once again is expecting a child and this time, Suryakant is very hopeful of having a son. In fact, his family priest has predicted that this time there are no chances of anything going wrong.
Finally the day comes. It’s Diwali. All are hoping that this Diwali will mark the entry of the heir to their family. Suryakant’s mother, too, is very hopeful and pressure is building up on Savitri. Savitri, however, gives birth to a baby girl and the family's dreams, expectations and hopes shatter for the last time.
The newly born baby girl is named ‘Lakshmi'. With the exception of her mother and sisters, no one in the family welcomes the birth of Lakshmi.
Suryakant always wished to have a son. As a man with orthodox thoughts he thinks that ‘ladkiyaan toh paraya dhan hotee hain’ and one day they have to move on. Things become more complicated when doctors declare that because of some biological problems Savitri will never be able to conceive in future.
His family’s priest suggests that he still has a ‘putr-yog’ and very soon will be blessed with it. The priest said, however, that for that to happen, something very drastic has to be done.
And as expected, worst hits the family and Savitri when, one fine day, Suryakant walks in the house with his second wife, Meneka. Savitri is shocked and helpless. Suryakant’s mother as well as sisters supports Suryakant’s act. Savitri is helpless and accepts Meneka in her life and family.
After a few days, Suryakant impregnates Meneka. On the next Diwali, much to the family’s delight, Meneka delivers a son by the name of Yuvraj.
Suryakant’s life changes and now he is the happiest man on the earth. Meneka becomes dominant in the house and Savitri and her daughters are pulled down. Suryakant & his family, who are the least concerned about the existence of his first wife and four daughters, are happy in their new world with Meneka and Yuvraj.
It’s in these circumstances that the children grow up under the same roof. a brother whose every wish becomes the command at home… & his four elder sisters, whose every wish is sidelined & sacrificed.
While the elder three sisters are too afraid of their father to raise their voice against this blatant injustice, it is Lakshmi, the effervescent, bubbly youngest of the lot, who will stand up for herself… & her sisters… in fact, for all daughters & women… & stake claim to their rightful place in their family, society… & the world!
