Synopsis[edit]
Orphaned at a very young age, Badruddin "Badru" is taken in by the kind-hearted Ustad Samad Khan, a once popular singer in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Samad, once well known for his performances, gave up singing after he found his audience to be distracted during one of his shows.
Badru is attracted to Samad's daughter, Reshma, who also likes him. Badru has another admirer in the beautiful Naseem, but does not reciprocate her love. When Akhtar, a freelance photographer from Delhi, arrives, Reshma and he instantly fall in love, and Badru is heartbroken.
When Akhtar proposes marriage, Samad angrily rejects him, as he wants Reshma to marry Nawab Hyder Ali's son, Basharat. His angry outburst has repercussions and Samad is hospitalized. To raise money for his treatment, Reshma decides to take part in a singing competition and wins. Samad returns home to start preparations for Reshma's marriage but to his astonishment, he discovers that Reshma has already turned down Basharat's proposal. Basharat decides to take matters into his own hands and tries to forcibly marry Reshma.
