Lali, played by
Helen, returns home from abroad, disappointing her mother with her new attitudes, looks, and affinity to dance. After reluctantly making a trip to the
temple at the request of her mother, Lali assumes that the man (Puran) singing in the temple, is referring to her in the lyrics of his song. In response, and to the surprise of onlookers, she slaps him, only to shortly discover that he is blind and was singing a religious song. Feeling guilty, and with the support of her family, Puran is taken to
Mumbai (then
Bombay), and regains his eyesight following eye surgery paid for by Lali's family. Lali's character soon changes. Unable to persuade Puran to learn Western dance, she assumes traditional dress and the two fall in love. However, she is subsequently persuaded by her father to marry a wealthy businessman and end the relationship with Puran for the sake of family honour in light of her upcoming sister's marriage, as Puran, being of a
"harijan" caste, is deemed unsuitable for her by her parents. When she is struck by a disability, her husband leaves her. Puran in the meantime becomes a singing/dancing hero. ==Cast==
