After procuring a degree in medicine, Dr. Anand returns home to Bombay to take charge of his late father, Prakash Narayan’s, estate. He is bequeathed an old car and a village, Phoolnagar, and accordingly decides to re-locate there and open a dispensary. Enroute there he meets with Poonam, who escorts him to her residence, where she lives an impoverished lifestyle with her ailing widowed mother and two brothers, Tirchhe and Nandu.
