Subtitles included. Because the film was originally broadcast on Britain's Channel 4, those subs are 'hardcoded' or 'burned' into the video. To those that don't want or need English subtitles, I apologize. The source was taped from television many years ago by Muz. My heartfelt thanks go to him for providing this source to me.

The famous song, "Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh" ended abruptly in the original version. I obtained the song in complete form and added in the original ending

Sushil Verma (Raaj Kumar) is a surgeon in the Shimla Hospital. He lives on the hospital grounds in a doctor's house with his aging mother and younger sister Munni (Kumari Naaz). After Sushil's father died, his father's close friend paid Sushil's medical school fees, thus creating a debt that Sushil's mother feels needs to be fulfilled. Karuna (Meena Kumari) is a nurse who comes to Shimla Hospital and first encounters Sushil during an emergency surgery. Both are clearly besotted with each other, but keep their feelings restrained.

By chance, on a nurses' beach day trip, Karuna meets Munni, who injures herself whilst playing. She takes Munni back to her house, not knowing that she is Dr. Verma's sister, and the house she is visiting belongs to him. She dresses Munni's wounds, sees how much work needs to be done in the house, and the fact that his mother is too ill to attend to household tasks. She immediately steps in and fulfills the duties of the housewife; cooking, cleaning and taking care of everyone. Sushil comes home to see this and falls even more in love.

However, later on, his mother organises a trip to Kashmir for the whole family, and conveniently guilt-trips Sushil into marrying Kusum (Nadira), the daughter of the man who paid for his medical school fees. 

As for the rest, watch the film. Meena Kumari shines, Nadira is at her loathsome best, and Shanker-Jaikishan won the Filmfare award as best music directors.
