==Plot==
Radha ([[Sardar Akhtar]]) is an indomitable woman, toiling away to feed her three sons and to pay off Sukhilala ([[Kanhaiyalal (actor)|Kanhaiyalal]]), the village's rapacious moneylender. When she learns that she is pregnant again, her husband, Shamu ([[Arun Kumar Ahuja]]), runs far away, leaving her to fend for herself against poverty and the lecherous advances of Sukhilala. Later, the two eldest children die, leaving her with only two sons: the strait-laced Ramu ([[Surendra (actor)|Surendra]]) and the wild Birju ([[Yakub (actor)|Yakub]]). The latter of the two becomes a bandit, who kills Sukhilala and kidnaps his childhood sweetheart. As a result, Radha and Ramu are cast out of the village. Eventually, Radha kills Birju for dishonoring her.
