Plot
[edit]Raja is adopted by a don at a young age. After the don's death, Raja inherits his property. However, wealth and power make him arrogant. He wants to marry Radha, the daughter of his servant, Ramu. Raja asks for Ramu's permission to marry her and Ramu accepts the proposal. But Radha refuses to do so as she loves Kishan. Raja finds out about this and complains to Ramu. Ramu forbids his daughter to meet Kishan. Then Raja finds out a secret from Kishan's past which changes his attitude towards him. He gives Kishan a job and arranges his marriage with Radha. Raja entrusts Kishan with a lot of responsibility which means Kishan has to travel for work all the time. Kishan eventually starts to become suspicious about Raja's kindness towards him. Does Raja want Kishan to be out of the way so he can be near Radha, or is there another reason?
