Burman and the lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, who received a Filmfare nomination as Best Lyricist for the hit song "Ek Din Bik Jayega."

The song is played 4 times during the film, with playback singing by Kishore Kumar, Mukesh and Sushma Shrestha.

Dharam is taught to be a hoodlum but wants to become a singer under the tutelage of Ashok, while Ranjit has taken to alcohol, gambling and a life of crime under JK himself.

A fight ensues, wherein Ranjit kills JK on learning Shankar is his real father.

However, he admits the entire truth when Ashok becomes mortally wounded while trying to save him from Ranjit's gunshot.

In the end, Shankar happily watches as Ashok, Dharam and his girlfriend Basanti successfully perform a stage show, while Ranjit is tried for his crimes.
