Also, a Bengali film Uttarayan was made starring Uttam Kumar in the lead based on a novel by Tarashankar Bandopadhyay.

Anand is an unemployed but happy-go-lucky guy who is in love with a rich girl, Mita.

Mita makes sure that Anand does not learn about her presence at his home and takes care of his mother.

He decides to break the news of the Major's death personally and visits their home.

Anand tells the family doctor of his true identity, but the doctor advises Anand against telling Ruma the truth since Ruma suffers from heart disease and cannot bear emotional stress.

Anand explains that he is merely playing his part to keep Verma's family happy and his wife healthy.

As Major Verma and Mita secretly listen on, Ruma again complains to Anand about the lack of physical intimacy between them.

The film's music was composed by Jaidev and song lyrics were written by Sahir Ludhianvi.
