Krishna Kumari

This is the story of a love triangle where Shankar (Manoj Kumar) and Shobhana (Mala Sinha) are in love whereas Rita (Shashikala) is his sworn bride since childhood. Shankar marries Rita as per family wishes but their ill fitted marriage does not provide either of them any solace. The situation worsens when Shobhana enters their lives again.

In his quest for a heir, Rai Bahadur has an affair with a prostitute Meher. When Meher becomes pregnant he promises to take the child and educate him. But fate has other plans, for his wife Meena also becomes pregnant at the same time, and shortly thereafter both women give birth to two boys. Meher threatens to expose him if he does not take her son, and leave Meena's son in an orphanage. However, both children end up in his palatial home. He belittles Meher's son and finally accuses him of stealing. Fed up of these accusations, Meena leaves the house with Kishore, and ironically ends up with Meher. In the meantime, Rai's son has grown up to be an arrogant, and a champion boxer. And it is in the boxing ring that both half-brothers will meet again -- for a match of their lives -- as the trophy is none other than the beautiful Mala -- who both love and hope to marry. —gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com Rai Bahadur is a well-known and kind-hearted wealthy individual, who practices law. He lives with his wife, Meena, but both have no children. In his quest for a heir to his estate, he has an affair with a prostitute named Meher on the sly. When Meher becomes pregnant he promises to take the child, let him take his name, and educate him. But fate has other plans, for Meena also becomes pregnant at the same, and shortly thereafter both women give birth to two boys. Meher threatens to expose him if he does not take her son, and leave Meena's son in an orphanage. Rai Bahadur instructs a nurse to carry out this task - in vain though as both children end up in his palatial home. He knows that Kishore (Meher's son) is the child of a prostitute, belittles him, humiliates him, and finally accuses him of stealing. Fed up of these accusations, Meena leaves the house with Kishore, and ironically ends up with Meher, who looks after them. In the meantime, Rai's son, Pran, has grown up to be educated and arrogant, and a champion boxer. And it is in the boxing ring that both half-brothers will meet again - for a match of their lives - as the trophy is none other than the beautiful Mala - who both Pran and Kishore love and hope to marry. Watch as events unfold that will prove that it is not necessarily one's birth that fosters one's character. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
