A mother faces poverty when a moneylender's trickery leaves her heavily in debt and her husband flees the village after being maimed in an accident. She remains determined to provide for her children as best she can, while her embittered son is consumed by thoughts of exacting revenge on the moneylender, whom he blames for all his family's woes. Indian musical, with Nargis and Sunil Dutt. In Hindi.

A poverty-stricken woman raises her sons through many trials and tribulations. But no matter the struggles, always sticks to her own moral code.
