It stars Dev Anand and Nutan, Krishan Dhawan, Achala Sachdev and K.N.

[1] Set in Simla in 1929, Rajkumar Mehta, or Raju as he is lovingly called, has just returned from England.

This leads to constant tiffs between the two, as Mehta considers music a profession for beggars.

More trouble stirs when Captain Prem Nath expresses his will to marry Pushpa.

In Bombay, Raju struggles to find accommodation, and a tourist guide he meets ends up robbing him.

Thankfully, the paan-seller offers him a room, and a wealthy prostitute Titlibai comes looking for Raju.

Finally, Raju becomes successful, and after composing the music score for a film, returns to Simla, only to see Pushpa getting married.

His sister, Shoba Mehta sees him, and Raju is shocked when she tells him that Pushpa saw him with Titlibai and thought she had lost him for good.
