Plot edit
Ram, funnily called, "Peturam", is an overweight and sensitive young man, who is head over heels in love with beautiful Radha, the only sister of Thakur Tej Singh and would like to marry her. When he proposes to marry her, Tej makes fun of him, asks him to gather together at least 10 lakh rupees before he can even be considered as a prospective groom. Crestfallen, Ram re-locates to Bombay, where he starts to work driving a taxi, and buying lottery tickets, all quite in vain, as he finds himself quite far away from his target of 10 lakh rupees. Then one day he meets with a Bollywood Film Director, who decides to give him a chance in movies. The movie turns out to be a success, making Ram, who is now known as Ram Kumar, a millionaire overnight. Pleased with his success and ensuring that he has more than enough to satisfy Tej Singh, Ram triumphantly returns to his home-town in his chauffeur-driven Mercedes Benz, only to find out that Radha has already been married to a man Aloknath Gupta and is soon to bear his child. Watch how a devastated Ram Kumar attempts to put the remainder of his life together, in a career that he never wanted in the first place.
