Amar enjoys his happiness with his wife, the dancer Malti, and their son Raja. He also works as a manager in a Prakash Mehta construction site supplier. Unfortunately, happiness is not granted to everyone. The dishonest Munshi and a truck driver are fired by Amar for being caught in the black market. Since then, Munshi has been trying to get revenge and ultimately drives Amar over with a truck. Amar is still subject to his injuries at the scene.

As a young widow, Malti now has to fight her way through life and is helplessly exposed to social humiliation. Her situation worsened when Munshi started a rumor that she was in love with Prakash Mehta. He cannot bear the suffering of the young woman and takes her as his wife. Only the little son Raja does not yet know about his father's death. When the little one learns this from Munshi, the world collapses for him. He doesn't want to accept Prakash as his stepfather. After some turbulence, Raja processes his grief and the new family finds happiness again.

criticism

"" Ek Hi Raasta "does this job in an exemplary manner, even if Chopra is a little too on the safe side. From the cast to the often weakened drama to the conciliatory end, the corners and edges seem to be sanded off. What remains was a sympathetic, good Made and definitely brisk drama that definitely doesn't need to hide. One reason for this is the cast, led by the always sympathetic Ashok Kumar.
