	The film revolves around the social issue of widow remarriage and was cited as being of "social relevance". The theme of widow remarriage was considered "controversial" in the 1940s, with the film stated to be bold in showing the hero accepting the widow at the end of the film. The climax scene, according to a report in the ''[[Illustrated Weekly of India]]'' is "remembered" even now, with Sahu being cited as a "socially conscious film-maker".<ref name="IWOI">{{cite book\|title=The Illustrated Weekly of India\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L2Y6AQAAIAAJ\|accessdate=17 March 2015\|date=July 1975\|page=96}}</ref>		The film revolves around the social issue of widow remarriage and was cited as being of "social relevance".

	Pandit Shivprasad Tiwari, a wealthy contractor, lives in a big house in Lucknow. His family consists of his mother Daadi Maa, his second wife called Maaji by everyone, and his two sons Beni (Kishor Sahu) and Ratan (Sushil Sahu). He also has a daughter who is married. Ratan is the son from the second wife and ~~stepbrother~~ to Beni. He has been spoilt by Maaji, who has always treated Beni different to Ratan. Beni grows up to be kind and considerate to the needy. Meera (Shamim), a young widow with a small boy, lives with her mother, known as Maasi, who is distantly related to the Tiwari family. Maasi brings Meera to live with the Tiwari family. Soon, a relationship develops between Meera and Beni, which causes extreme alarm in the family and society. The shocking notion that the relationship may lead to a widow remarrying, is handled sensibly by the patriarch of the family, who gives consent for the two to marry.
