Summary: A musical romance remembered mainly for Dilip Kumar’s debut. An old patriarch has two unmarried daughters Rama (Shamim) and Renu (Mridula). Narendra (Aga Jaan), the modern son of an urban millionaire, is to marry Rama. Visiting the family in disguise to sneak a look at his future bride, he mistakes Rama for Renu and they fall in love. The mix-up comes to light only after the wedding. Renu blames god and is thrown out of the house for blasphemy. On a train, she joins some travelling performers led by Jagdish (D. Kumar), and to escape getting caught she pretends to live with him. When Renu goes home again, her sister Rama is pregnant and ill and a choice must be made between the foetus and the mother. Renu makes up with god and through divine intervention Rama’s and her child’s lives are saved. The film’s ten songs include several by singer Parul Ghosh.
