Output (English): Raj Raibahadur Raj Kapoor lives a wealthy lifestyle with his father, a widowed businessman. One day Raj is sent to work at the countryside Saraswati Dam. His father one day visits him and tells him how his deceased mother wished that he be married to Chandra played by Vijayalaxmi, the daughter of his rich family friend. Raj decides to write a letter to Chandra which she completely ignores. But Chandras younger sister Neelu Nargis acknowledges the letter and responds to it in Chandras name. After few letters Raj and Neelu fall in love, but Raj is still unaware that it is Neelu who writes to him. Just then Raj is diagnosed with tuberculosis, the same disease that killed his mother. Raj decides to pretend that he never loved Neelu and also insists that she should marry his physician friend, Dr. Kailash Pran. He also flirts with Chandra to make Neelu believe that he does not love her. Chandra decides to end the suffering of her sister, who is sobbing for her loveloss. Upon learning the truth, Neelu accepts Raj as he is. Miraculously, Raj also turns well and both lead for a happy life. The theme of the tragic hero and the sufferings of the heroine was inspired from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyays famous novel Devdas, which has also been inspiration to various other films. The end of the film originally showed Neelu marrying Dr. Kailash at Rajs insistence; Raj dies while Neelus wedding procession is passing by. But at the premiere, Kapoor realised that this film would not work. Kapoor said, The end of the film was then changed from a tragic one to the happy one, but the change destroyed the thematic unity of the text. Bunny Reuben, who wrote Kapoors biography Raj Kapoor, The Fabulous Showman, gives his rationale for the change: The film had some of ShankarJaikishans loveliest music, and a Devdasian tragic ending which was changed to the conventional happy ending because the film didnt do well in its first release.
