Plot edit
Atin Singh, the son of a nominal Zamindar Raja Kamal Nain Singh, works for an automobile company in Bombay and falls for Veena, the daughter of a tycoon, Mr. Chowdary. Once, Kamal Nain Singh sets a match with his daughter Vasna. At this, he ploys by finding an alliance with Atin for the dowry, which compels him to knit with a benevolent Ketki. Soon after, Atin returns to Veena to divulge the mishap and promises to wedlock her. Accordingly, he reaches the village, and that night, unintentionally, he consummates with Ketki. The next day, when he insists on divorce, Ketki is stunned, yet she signs, and Atin quits back to wedlock with Veena, which Chowdary opposes. Hence, Veena exits the house too. Besides, Ketki becomes pregnant when facing several humiliations, but she stands courageously. Time passes, and Ketki gives birth to a baby boy, Munna, and resides by serving her in-laws, which makes Kamal Nain Singh repent. Ketki works as a schoolteacher, and Nirmal, her colleague, turns to Munna as a convenience to their family and treats him as his own. So, Kamal Nain Singh suggests Ketki marry Nirmal. Besides, Atin is debt-distressed to maintain Veena's lavish lifestyle, which leads to divorce. Exploiting it, Vikram, a spiteful friend, betrays her when she commits suicide. Heartbroken, Atin lands in his hometown, but his father avoids him. Here, Munna is seriously injured in an accident and longing to see his father. At last, Nirmal brings Atin back, and Munna resuscitates him. Finally, the movie ends happily with Atin & Ketki's reunion.
