action
The poet Pran dreams of feelings and great love, while his friend Gopal devalues women rather than objects that only serve the purpose of satisfaction.
When they make their way to a house that they want to buy for Pran, they pause with Neela, who is in love with Gopal. After their night together, he gives her a promise to return the next monsoon . Then they buy the house they want near a river.
A fisherman lives on the other side of the river. His daughter Reshma once fished pran out of the water and fell in love with him. However, the father does not believe in this relationship. He even cuts the rope that crosses the river when Reshma tries to flee to Pran.
The fisherman Bholu saves her from the water and wants to marry her. Despite all the misfortune, Pran and Reshma find each other.
On the other hand, Gopal, who has become a better person and wants to return to the faithful Neela. His story ends at Neela's funeral pyre, who was longingly looking for him. He lights their pyre according to the Hindu rite when it suddenly starts to rain. Sadly, Gopal was able to keep his promise to return at the next monsoon.

background
Barsaat was the second production of RK Films after Aag (1948) and the first major success for producer, director and leading actor Raj Kapoor . The scene in which Raj Kapoor holds Nargis in one hand and a violin in the other becomes the emblem of his production company.
The unusually innovative Chiaroscuro recordings are metaphorical as in the scene when Reshma's father cuts the rope, which is faded onto the bow of the violin, with which Pran Reshma serenaded the anniversary song from The Jolson Story at night .
