Childhood
friends Bhulua (Saigal) and Manju (Kanan) are street singers, Bhulua
sings and Manju dances |
|
to his tunes.
They dream of working on the stage in Calcutta and find their way to the
city and reside in it’s |
|
slums. Stage
actor Amar Chand (Sailen Choudhury) hears them sing one day and brings
them to Trilok |
|
Nath (Amar
Mallick), who owns a theatre. Manju gets a job here and Bhulua is happy
and eagerly starts |
|
training
Manju. Manju is initially hesitant about Bhulua not getting a job but is
pressurized by Bhulua to take |
|
up the
assignment and she becomes a great success as a singing and dancing star
of the theatre…….. |
|
Manju’s star
status brings them to a new house where she is kept surrounded by Amar
Chand. Bhulua |
|
is in two
minds about Manju’s preferences-Trilok acts villain and tries to create
tension between him and |
|
Manju. Star
Manju is not always willing to submit to Bhulua’s likes and dislikes.
Bhulua is not given a job |
|
in the
theatre as promised earlier…….. |
|
Manju revolts
however when she is asked to sing a song tuned by Bhulua because the
authorities |
|
insist on a
change of tune which she feels would just kill the song. She leaves the
job and comes home |
|
only to hear
Bhulua’s song on the radio. She is furious that Bhulua did not think it
necessary to tell her |
|
that he had a
job in the city radio and comes back to the theatre agreeing to sing the
song in any tune |
|
that was set
by them…… |
|
His talent
recognized, Bhulua now feels unhappy about his strained relations with
manju and goes to the |
|
theatre to
find Manju singing his song in a tune that was beyond his imagination.
Bhulua leaves the theatre |
|
to come to
the streets to where he belonged. Manju realizes her mistake to come
back to him and in a |
|
symbolic
landscape a boat is shown washed ashore in a storm…. The two are
united……. |
