Plot

In this movie two friends compete for the affection of a singer.

Lucknow-based Nawabzada Aslam lives a wealthy lifestyle along with his father, Bakar, and mother. He writes poems under the pen name of Raj Lakhnavi, and is a friend of Iqbal. One day he meets and falls in love with Salma Banarsi, a Banaras-based Courtesan. When his parents arrange his marriage with his foreign-returned cousin, Mumtaz, he informs them that he loves Salma and incurs their displeasure so much so that his father shoots him, and he is hospitalized. When he recovers fully he is shocked to find that Salma has not only accepted Iqbal as her lover, but has also taken money and jewelry from his mother. He takes to alcohol in a big way and swears to exact vengeance against Salma by marrying Mumtaz and forcing Salma to sing and dance at his wedding.
