Bada Bhai is a 1957 Indian Bollywood social film released on 1957. The film is directed by K. Amarnath.
Test of courage is often endure. Ajit, it appears, was marked by destiny to prove this maxim. Circumstances had reduced him to a poor rickshaw walla but he didnt accuse God or curse his fate but endured life as it came his way. By pulling rickshaw round the clock, he earned hardly more than what was essential to keep his family going which comprised his wife Lakshmi, daughter Munni and younger brother Prakash who was in the final year of his B.A. . Ajit and his wife curtailed the family budget so such an extent even some of the bare necessities of life had to be abandoned in order to save money for Prakashs fees for the term. They put some money everyday in an improvised bank made of an empty woden carton and every time pledged not to use a singel pie on any other account. Prakash was conscious of his brothers plight and wanted to share his burden by coaching some students but Ajit didnt left him deviate himself from his studies. He hoped Prakashs passing with flying colours shall land him in a good job in Public Service and the family shall enjoy a resptie from privation. . At one time Providence seemed to smile magnificently on the family. Laxmi gave birth to a bonny son and Prakash topped the list of the successful candidates. Besides, Prakash had falledn in love with the daughter of the Police Commissioner, who instead resenting, appeared agreable to even a matrimonial alliance. He held Ajit in high esteem due to his industry, honesty and truthfulness. But Umesh, his son and a senior Police Officer, hated the very idea of his sister Umas friendship with the brother of a rickshaw walla. He tried to frighten Uma out of wits and argued with his father and when nothing could stop the impending marriage of Uma with Prakash he conspired Ajits murder at the hands of a gang of crooks responsible for every crime committed in the city of Hydrabad. . Ajit was shot at point blank range and was removed to a hospital in a precarious condition and when he recoverd he was adviced by doctors not to move from the bed for a few weeks but Ajit knew that the family fed on what he earned everyday. He sneaked from the hospital and returned home to discover that during his absence some thief had stolen the bank in which he deposited money for the fees. He despite medical advice being against his returning to work, took part in a rickshaw race and won a reward of 500 rupees and paid up the fees but this trail of courage almost costed him his life. . Prakash with the help of Police Commissioner entered the police departments as junior officer and soon his betrothal was arranged with Uma. It appeared for a time that good days were on hand. Police Commissioner one day visited Ajits house to complete the preliminarie but there came a bolt from the blue and Prakash stopped the ceremony in the name of law and searched the house and found out the jewellery of belonging to a dancer who was murdered and robbed the previous night. Younger brother Prakash arrested elder brother Ajit on charge of muder and robbery. Neither brotherly affection nor the voice of his conscience could change his course of duty.
