Based on a story by the noted Gujarati novelist Acharya (author of Dayalal, Allabeli et al.), this modernisation fable is one of Chaturbhuj Doshis best early film at Ranjit. The educated and liberal Harbala (Khote) is oppressed by her conservative husband Seth Gopaldas (Date). Determined that her children Somnath (Kapoor) and Neelam (Rose) shall lead freer lives, she is frustrated by Gopaldass authoritarian taditionalism and commits suicide. Neelam and Somnath haunted by guilt, join her in deat.
