Plot summary

Chanda (played by Kumkum), a dancer, arrives at Bihta railway station. She gets into a dispute with a ticket collector and a tangewallah over an exorbitant fare. The hero, Suraj (played by Ashim Kumar), the son of a priest, intervenes and gives her a free ride. He sees her dance at a nautanki and falls in love with her.

However, Suraj is not her only suitor. A wealthy and lecherous thakur is also captivated by her. The thakur's underling, Firangiya (played by Anwar Hussain), gets Chanda's uncle drunk and kidnaps her. Suraj comes to save her, chasing down the horse carriage and beating up Firangiya. This act solidifies Chanda's love for him.

The conflict arises from the social disparity between Chanda and Surah. Suraj's father is enraged at the prospect of his son marrying a dancing girl, deeming it unacceptable for a respected family. The remainder of the film follows the couple as they navigate numerous challenges and plot twists, ultimately leading to the priest overcoming his class prejudices and the lovers reuniting. [3]
