R.D. Mathur

The narrative follows the classic golden-age trope of a complicated love story. The romance between the characters played by Motilal and Suraiya is tested by rigid family hierarchies, societal expectations, and the pressures of arranged marriages

Meera (Nutan) loves Ashok (Nasir Khan). Her step mother (Leela Mishra) wants Ashok to marry Seth ji’s daughter Rani (Shakila). Mira is accused of theft and insulted. Rani tries to woo Ashok,but he does not respond. Mahinder(Iftikhar) a village crook wants to marry Rani and get all her wealth. He plans many plots for this, however Mira and Ashok foil every attempt. Mahinder decides to kill both of them. Learning about his plan, Ashok alerts police, who arrive at the right time and save them and capture Mahinder. Rani then magnanimously,and to the utter displeasure of Leela Mishra, gets Mira and Ashok married.
