Plot

The story revolves around Rehana, a spoiled and wayward girl who is married off to Akhtar Mirza by her father, Seth Jamali. Akhtar is a decent and hardworking man, but Rehana doesn't care for him and treats him like a servant.

Akhtar takes Rehana to a hill station, where he owns a bungalow and meets Shadan, a kind-hearted and simple girl who lives with her brother, Sido.

Akhtar develops feelings for Shadan, and despite his best efforts to resist, he eventually falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Sido becomes suspicious of Akhtar's intentions and warns Shadan to stay away from him.

As the story unfolds, it is revealed that Rehana is not dead, but rather, she has been injured and is bedridden. In a dramatic twist, Sido mistakenly kills Rehana, thinking she is an intruder. Before dying, Rehana accuses Akhtar of her murder.

Akhtar is put on trial, and Shadan's loyalty is tested. In a surprising turn of events, Sido confesses to the crime, and Akhtar is acquitted. The film ends with Sido being sentenced to seven years in prison, while Akhtar and Shadan are free to start a new life together.
