The film stars Sanjeev Kumar (in his first lead role), Nazima, Prem Chopra, Helen, Mukri, Sulochana and Shammi.
The kingdom of Ajitgarh has just begun rejoicing at the birth of their Prince Kiran, when the king, Maharaja Hamir Singh, receives some disquieting news.
Hamir Singh, following in the footsteps of the King of France, takes a deep look into the future and comes up with a brothers-fighting-for-the-throne scenario.
To avoid such a future, he hands over the younger twin – Badal – to his trusted courtier Sangram Singh (Sheikh Mukhtar).
He gives Sangram Singh the estate of Devpur and asks him to live there, far from Prince Kiran.
