The story follows a mother with two sons—one her real son, a careless criminal, and the other unrelated to her but deeply devoted. While the kind son’s acts of compassion help him overcome every hardship, the criminal son struggles to earn his mother’s love and respect, learning that worth is proven through actions, not blood. The film is considered Sultan Rahi’s first major film and won five Nigar Awards, including Best Punjabi Film of 1971.

During the 1947 Partition, a mother and her children are separated while migrating to Pakistan. Years later, the siblings grow up in different parts of society, unaware of each other’s lives. The film follows their separate journeys and focuses on family ties shaped by loss and separation.
