action
The conservative Brahmin Patanjali Sastry breaks ties with his brother-in-law, the doctor Dr. Bharati, because of its modernist views. When Sastry's wife is pregnant again after two miscarriages, she goes to her brother and, much to her husband's displeasure, asks him for medical help. She gives birth to a healthy boy and at the same time wants to adopt the newborn son of a low-caste woman who died in her birth. Patanjali Sastry disagrees, but there is confusion as to which of the two babies is his own.
The Sastrys eventually raise the adopted child as their supposedly own, while their biological child grows up to become a rickshaw driver in poor circumstances . The two children overcome the box barriers and become friends, which ultimately reunites the family.
