Vishnu, the odd-job man in a Bombay apartment block, llies dying on the staircase landing. Around him the lives of the apartment dwellers unfold: the warring housewives on the first floor, lovesick teenagers on the second, and the widower, alone and quietly grieving on the top floor of the building. In a fevered state Vishnu looks back on his love affair with the seductive Padmini and wondners if he might actually be the god Vishnu, guardian of the entire universe.
