+The second Rajasthani film (after G.P. Kapoor’s 
+Nazrana, 1942) and its first hit. Feudal 
+melodrama about the virtuous landlord 
+Dharamdas, representing an idealised Marwari 
+business community, who adopts a deceased 
+employee’s daughter, Saraswati. She and 
+Dharamdas’s son Ramesh fall in love, but her 
+villainous uncle, who wants Ramesh to marry 
+his flippant daughter Vaijayanti, uses his 
+familial authority to arrange Saraswati’s 
+marriage with the handicapped son of a greedy 
+shah. The tragic consequences of feudal 
+patriarchal powers are eventually overcome 
+and the lead couple unite in the end.
