When Prakash decides he wants to be an independent person, he gives up his extravagant lifestyle and together with his friend Johnny (Agha) moves to Bombay, where he gets himself a job and begins a new life.

In Bombay, Prakash meets Nilu (Shyma) and the two of them fall in love. Surprisingly, a love triangle does not emerge between Prakash, Nilu and Johnny.

Things become even more complicated when Prakash visits Motilal at his home where, after looking at several photographs, Prakash realizes that Motilal is his long- lost brother.
