Plot
Mala is the daughter of Kishanlal who works as a servant with a wealthy family. One day Mala meets with the owner of this family, who is so impressed with Mala that he asks for her hand in marriage for his fourth son, Gopal, which Kishanlal humbly accepts. Mala marries Gopal, and moves in to their palatial home. While Mala is helpful and sweet-natured, the other three daughters-in-law are quite the opposite. When bad times befall the family, the owner passes away; Gopal and Mala move out, leaving Gopal's mother at the mercy of her indifferent sons, Girdhar, Murli, Manohar, and their abusive wives who refuse to assist in any household work, virtually forcing their mother-in-law to do all the menial work, not looking after her needs even when she becomes ill, and ultimately throwing her out of the house. Gopal gains popularity as a musician. His brothers mortgage their family home with a moneylender and decide to live off Gopal, telling him that their mother has gone for a pilgrimage. Gopal discovers the truth and confronts his brothers.Cast
