After marriage, Aslam figures out that his friend Nawab had fallen in love with Jameela as well. However, because the veils had been switched by the girls earlier he was unaware of this. Aslam wants nothing but his friend Nawab to be happy and tries to act in a way that would cause Jameela to divorce him, so that Nawab can then marry her. However, Jameela loves Aslam despite this and will not leave him. Eventually Nawab realizes the misunderstanding and is overcome with grief to cause his friend so much sorrow. He is devastated, and commits suicide knowing this will ensure there are no obstacles in the way now for Aslam to love Jameela.

== Plot ==
The setting is the city of Lucknow in northern India, where Islamic culture flourished. Two of the three best friends who live in this city have fallen in love with the same woman named Jameela. Aslam (Guru Dutt) and Nawab (Rehman) are the two friends caught in this love triangle with Jameela (Waheeda Rehman). An integral part of any Guru Dutt film, comic relief was provided by Johnny Walker, who plays Mirza Masaraddik Shaida.

== Music ==
Guru Dutt's music composer of earlier films [[S. D. Burman]] had warned him not to make ''Kaagaz Ke Phool'' (1959 film), which resembled his own life. When Guru Dutt insisted on making the film, [[S. D. Burman]] said that would be his last film with Guru Dutt. Hence, the music composing of this film was offered to composer [[Ravi (music director)|Ravi]] and was critically acclaimed, and the lyrics by his all-time favourite [[Shakeel Badayuni]]. It was a creative choice of Guru Dutt's to have the title track in color while the rest of the film was in black and white.<ref>http://www.hindigeetmala.net/movie/chaudhvin_ka_chand.htm Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960 film) on Hindigeetmala.net website</ref> The title song, sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]], became an evergreen hit, and is still popular among masses. The other hit songs from this film are "Mera Yaar Bana Hai Dulha", sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]], often played in wedding ceremony and mujra song "Dil Ki Kahani Rang Layi Hai", sung by [[Asha Bhosle]].
