Summary

Surjit finds out that his sister is in love with Manjit Singh, the younger brother of Thakur Gajendra Singh. Surjit goes to Thakur's house in order to get Manjit to marry his sister. Thakur humiliates him; making him, a vegetarian, eat dog food and beg on his knees. Surjit does so and is told to go home and make wedding preparations. The next day, Thakur visits Surjit and kills him and his wife in broad daylight. Surjit's last dying wish is that his two sons Raju and Kishan must marry Thakur's and his brother's two daughters Meena and Preeti and they must have Thakur come begging on their doorstep for this marriage alliance. Surjit's sister agrees to this and accordingly brings up the two children. Unfortunately, Raju goes missing, leaving her alone to bring up Kishan. Years later they are reunited when Raju returns home and they join to fulfill Surjit's last wish. What they do not know is Meena and Preeti are to be married to Minister Khurana's two sons and nothing in the world is going to make Thakur change his mind.
