Shagoon has Superstition as its thematic base. The beliefs that have grown
with us and taken roots in us through generations. Madan and Geeta, tow educated
young people, in the oblivious innocence of their youth, meet amidst the idyllic
charms of the Hill Station, Naini Taal. They soon fall deeply and inseperably in
love. The hills and dales merge with the rising melodies from within their
hearts. Back in Delhi, however, Madan's affectionate, zealously orthodox mother,
realizing that the world is coming to an end during the "Ashtha Griha Yuti"
(Configuration of the Eight Planets) summarily calls back her son freom his
blissful romantic interlude, so that she can die in the midst of her dear ones.
