[1] Durga Khote, who played the widowed mother of Jeetendra and Satyen Kapu, won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The film begins in a village where a wise lady, Parvati, raises her two sons, Prabhakar & Sudhakar, along with her mute daughter, Gauri.

Parallelly, in an anecdote, Gauri loves a pure Murli, which his cheapskate father Makhan Seth opposes.

As a result, Gauri commits suicide, and Murli follows her—besides, Prabhakar has an extravagant life in false prestige and bribes, which is turndown by his wife, Pooja.

Thus, Dharmdas files a case where Sudhakar proclaims it’s a play to convey genuine motherly affection when Padma pleads for pardon.
