Ram Maheshwary

In this classic drama, bachelor Prem (Suresh) enjoys a good life, with a successful business and a loving family. But when he marries the manipulative Ratan (Nishi), his once-blissful existence becomes fraught with tension. Ratan drives a wedge between Prem and his brother, Gurmukh (Prithviraj Kapoor), and tries to destroy Gurmukh's relationship with his wife, Channi (Vimi). Will Channi's strong Sikh faith be enough to restore peace to the family?

Reshma is a pretty petty thief who picks the pocket of a poor but honourable man and when discovered, her life begins to take a turn. Reshma was kidnapped for revenge as a kid by a dangerous criminal on the run. His right arm had to be amputated as a result of shots fired by the police inspector chasing him. Bhagat raises Reshma, teaching her tricks of the pick-pocket business. Bombay's underworld of illicit alcohol, smuggling, goons and the close linkages between crime and politics feature richly in the plot. Reshma falls in love with a policeman but Bhagat wants her to marry Jaggi a local thug. Reshma wants to reform her life, give up her life of petty criminality and enter society. Bhagat sees his meal ticket vanishing with Reshma's wanting to toe the straight path. So Bhagat sets a train of events in motion that will take Reshma to the gallows. Can Reshma, raised in the poorer quarters of Bombay crime steer her path away from the gallows?b
