Synopsis
In 1942 the British ruled India, a time when people were either working for the British or rallying for underground meetings and protests against them. Amidst this background, Naren Singh, falls in love with Rajeshwari Pathak. But their romance is not an easy one, for Naren comes from a wealthy family, and Rajeshwari is poor. In addition, while Naren's father, Diwan Hari Singh, is a British supporter awaiting a higher title, Rajeshwari's father is actively involved against the British. Now Naren has to choose between his father's hatred for the revolutionaries and his love for Rajeshwari - which may make him a revolutionary himself, and set him up against his father.
