	~~The~~ story revolves around a tribal ~~caste called the [[Thakar (Caste)\|Thakar]]. Nagya ([[Mohan Agashe]]) is a~~ drummer who ~~has~~ a passion for being ~~a "pure~~ one~~" (''punyavant'')~~.

Nagya ~~then climbs~~ the ~~peak and cuts~~ the ~~hives~~. ~~Chindhi is waiting at~~ the ~~base of the peak~~, ~~but~~ the ~~disturbed honey-bees attack her~~ and ~~she dies in the incident~~. ~~Nagya, in search of Queen honey-bee, loses~~ his ~~own queen[~~wife~~] in the end~~. This is a classic paradox, where he succeeds (Jait re jait, means WIN-WIN) in his revenge, but loses his wife.		Jait re jait is a story that revolves around Nagya, a thakar tribal drummer who develops a passion for being “punyavanta” [pious one] while growing up listening to his father. He desperately wants to see the “devimashi” [queen bee]. His father, during Negaya's childhood, piqued his interest in it unknowingly. Chindi, a girl who had left her husband because she deems him useless, falls madly in love with Nagya and becomes pregnant with his child. Once, when Nagya was cutting wood in the jungle, bees attacked him. Nagya seeks revenge and wants to kill them, especially the queen bee. However, the queen bee has some religious role in Nagya's tribe. Despite this, Nagya being stubborn, sets out to destroy the beehives with his wife. He does manage to destroy the hives, but in the process his wife gets killed. During the time Nagya is attacked by the bees, he does not play the drum. However, after destroying the hives, he restlessly picks up the drum and starts playing it like a mad man. He does not show any care for his dead wife. This is a classic paradox, where he succeeds (Jait re jait, means WIN-WIN) in his revenge, but loses his wife.

	~~The film highlights all the traditions of the Thakar tribe~~.
