Cast

Plot

Seth Harikrishan, the industrialist had as his heir, his only grandson Prem. The grandfather's only desire was to see the bride of his grandson. When he fell seriously ill, his friend and doctor Farid prevailed upon Prem to bring his girl friend Rita, whom he wanted to marry. But as luck would have it, Rita had gone away to Srinagar to participate in a fashion show and she could not return, as due to snowfall all roads were blocked and air service was suspended. To satisfy his dying grandfather, Prem suggested to his company's Public Relations Officer Jagdish to hire a model girl who could pose as Rita for some time. Instead, Jagdish brought an illiterate flower seller girl Kammo, with whom Prem and his sweetheart Rita had many altercations. Kammo settles into the house and wins over Seth Harikrishan and to a degree, even Prem. But soon Rita returns, followed by her scheming mercenary mother played by Shashikala. Yet all their forced efforts to win the grandfather's favours fail. Ultimately, on his birthday, Shashikala exposes Kammo's humble background to Dr. Farid. At the party, the flower girl's true identity becomes apparent to everyone. Despite this, Seth Harikrishan announces Prem's engagement to "Rita" (flower girl Kammo), whom he had really liked. An enraged Prem threatens to leave the house along with his girlfriend and her mother. The grandfather does not stop him. Prem rushes to Rita but is shocked to find that without the cushion of his family's wealth, his love and sacrifice hold no meaning for her or her mother. Meanwhile, Kammo, hurt and disillusioned, decides to leave the house for good. Prem realises his mistake and accepts Kammo as his bride.
