Orphaned at a very young age and adopted by his uncle, a Poojari, and aunt, Premvati, Devdhar lives a poor lifestyle with them and their daughter, Radha. Poojari works for Bade Thakur and his family and prepares astrological charts and organizes prayers, and asks him for financial assistance so that Devdhar can go to Bombay and study, which is approved. Years later Devdhar has matured, returns home so that Radha could get married. He meets with and falls in love with Bade Thakur's paternal niece, Manorama, his childhood friend. She likes him too, but is very naive about love and intimacy. Radha gets married to a much older man and moves out, while Manorama's marriage is arranged with Kunwar Narendra Pratap Singh. The wedding takes place with great pomp and ceremony, and a heartbroken Devdhar leaves the village to return to Bombay. A few months later he meets with Radha, who is now pregnant, and also decides to visit his uncle and aunt. This is where he will get the shock of his life when he finds out that Narendra is no more, and Manorama is forced to live the life of a Hindu widow i.e. - one simple meal a day, no footwear, simple white garb, and is regarded as a ill-omen by the rest of the villagers. What Devdhar does not know is that Manorama also carries a dark secret - which if revealed will bring death and bloodshed to this small region.

She is coddled, and pampered and her every whim is answered. Deodhar (Rishi Kapoor) is a poor orphan in the village, who is able to further his education in the big city with the Thakur's help. He returns after his studies, to find that Manorama has grown up into a beautiful young lady, and falls in love with her. He is unable to declare his love for her however, because of the apparent class-distinction. Manorama, of course unaware and child-like treats him as always, as her child-hood friend. Enter the handsome and rich Kumar Narendra Pratap Singh (Vijayendra Ghatge) as Manorama's prospective bridegroom. She is soon married and off to her husband's home, leaving Deodhar in silent despair... |
| User ReviewPaul DThis has the feel of a clasisic Bollywood feature that is easy to get nostalgic about. Some of the acting is a little ropey, but some of the film techniques are borrowed from further east in Asia and make this epic endearing. |
