Plot
Master Dharma Murti witnesses a murder of a man at the hands of Sher Singh Bandookwala. But Sher Singh with his might, terror, and money is set free. In revenge, he places Dharam Murti in an awkward position with a lady teacher, Menaka. Dharam Murti ashamed of this, vacates his village and abandons his wife & children.
His wife Savitri helps her son Ravi become an engineer who then resolves to fight against Bandookwala and get his father's ruined reputation back. Bandookwala has terrorised all the villagers. His daughter Rekha follows in his footsteps and grows into an insensitive woman who tries to harass people. Ravi's sister Padma has to marry Munimji's son Shakti as she is pregnant with his child. After marriage, Shakti and Bandookwala together start harassing Padma. Rekha falls in love with Ravi and decides to play the same trick against the Bandookwala by pretending to be pregnant with Ravi's child. Ravi finds his father as a worker on a dam construction site. Ravi then presents Bandookwala guilty before the panchayat but is freed by Dharam Murti on the condition that he should show affection to the poor and treat them well. Finally, Bandookwala becomes a good man and then Ravi marries Rekha.
