	~~== Plot ==~~
	~~{{more plot\|date=March 2020}}~~
	Pappu is a relentless fighter for justice and equality from early childhood. He organises protest against his teacher who discriminates between the landlord's son and other children. The landlord is provoked to wrath, and Pappu is obliged to leave home. From now on, he has to lead a hard, tough life, fighting at every step to uphold his ideals.

	He takes odd jobs but had to give them up as he cannot stand the iniquity meted out by his employers. Ultimately, he settles down as a [[Pulled rickshaw\|rickshaw]]-puller. One day he meets a child who fell into the gutter by accident. Pappu apologises and buys her some food.
	~~He decides to take care of this child. Her name is Lakshmi. That child became so arrogant and proud when she grew up. She did not even want Pappu's presence.~~

	Pappu suffers ill health due to his hard work. The subsequent developments reveal him as an extremely affectionate human being, seeking pleasure in doing good to others and demanding nothing for himself. The film ends with the girl realising her mistakes.
