Summary: Rajasthani star Neelu reprises her familiar role
as a virtuous victim in a neo-traditionalist
melodrama. Lakshmi’s (Neelu) mother dies
giving birth to her; when her millionaire father
remarries, she is raised like an outsider in her
own family. Her only support (in an unusual
twist) is her stepbrother, who assumes the
familial responsibility in arranging her
marriage. However, her misfortunes continue
as her in-laws heap more suffering on her and
eventually cause her death. The film purported
to be against feudalism and superstition.
