[1] Sewakram lives a middle-class lifestyle in Bombay(now Mumbai) (India) along with his wife Subhagi, daughter Nirmala(Vyjayanthimala) and son Lattoo.

He has entrusted the responsibility of supervising the construction of the house, which he fondly calls his 'Hindustan', to his elder brother, Sadhuram in good faith.

Meanwhile, oblivious to Sewakram, Sadhuram, in cahoots with the building contractor, Balbhadradas (Dhumal) uses less cement with sand to prepare spurious mortar mixture in the construction of the house.

Consequently, Sadhuram sheds crocodile tears before Sewakram's wife that he would rather die than see his younger brother's dream remain unfulfilled.

Nirmala arranges an impromptu dance programme to earn some money for the finishing of the building construction in which Kishore also participates.

On the appointed day, Kishore gets the go down of the contractor hoarding black-marketed cement, is raided by the police, and consequently gets him arrested.
