Plot

A farmer somewhere from Eastern UP lives with his two nephews. He falls ill and is treated by a Vaidya who comes from another village. When the farmer feels okay,he asks the Vaidya for his fees. In return, the Vaidya asks for his elder nephew as his son-in-law to which farmer readily agrees. The farmer's eldest nephew Omkar (played by Inder Thakur) marries Vaidya 's elder daughter Roopa and they start living happily. Roopa gives birth to a baby. During Roopa's pregnancy her younger sister Gunja (Sadhana Singh) comes to live with her and falls in love with Roopa's brother-in-law Chandan (Sachin). Roopa comes to know of this and assures them that she will get them married, but she dies in an accident soon and nobody else knows about their affair. Their parents mutually decide to get Gunja married off to Omkar so that she could take care of her sister's baby. But in the last moments of the movie, their affair comes to everyone's notice and things are resolved. Chandan marries Gunja ultimately with everybody's consent.

Uttar Pradesh's village culture and dialect is shown in this movie as it is without any alteration. It is based on a Hindi novel by Keshav Prasad Mishra called "Kohbar Ki Shart". The movie captures only the first half of the novel with the change that Gunja gets married to Chandan in the movie. In the novel, the proposed marriage between Gunja and Omkar does take place and the story continues after that.
