Plot

A widowed businessman raises his younger brothers and son, with the assistance of his compassionate second wife (the bhouji) who manages the home and supports the brothers' education despite family tensions.

After the brothers marry, their wives create jealousy among the brothers and push for property division, leading the family to fracture: one brother moves to a village, another joins the army, and a third relocates to Bombay.

The film builds to a reunion through the bhouji's efforts amid misunderstandings and external conflicts, emphasizing family unity over everything else.
