Following on from his successful New Delhi (1956), Segal here uses the comedy star Kishore Kumar to address middle-class attitudes to manual labour. Madan (Kumar), the son of an impoverished aristocrat, Dhaniram, is forced to take a labouring job to the disappointment of his father and the disapproval of his future in-laws. However, he makes a success of his printing press and eventually employs his own father in the expanding business. The film has several Kishore Kumar numbers including the bouncy Permit permit...ke liye mar mit.
