Intrigue

A business man must choose between keeping his promise to marry a poor village belle, or making it big by wedding his boss's daughter: a wealthy Westernized girl who bares a striking resemblance to his first love.

Raj Kumar lives a poor lifestyle with his widowed mom but dreams of making it big. He gets employed as a Typist with Ranjit and Co., makes many errors, and is warned. He takes the warning to heart, improves his work, and is soon promoted to the position of Superintendent by the owner, Ranjit Rai. While on holiday he meets an attractive village belle, Gauri, and they fall in love with each other. He is introduced to her dad, and promises to return within one year and marry Gauri. When he returns home, he is told by Ranjit that he is now the Manager, and a few weeks later he is made a partner. Ranjit wants Raj to marry his only daughter Madhu, who is cultured, foreign-educated, and attracted to Raj--all the more so when Raj finds that she resembles Gauri. Raj must now decide whether he wants to keep his promise to marry Gauri or wed her look-alike Madhu--and if he does not, he could lose his job and his position as partner.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Raj Kumar is a first-class graduate and returns home to find out that his mother had brought him up after taking much pain and working for other households. Raj Kumar returns to the city Bombay to work in the office of Mr. Ranjit who being his owner also acts as a role model for the position that Kumar aspires to achieve someday. During a vacation, Kumar's life is saved by a beautiful Himalayan girl named Gauri with whom he immediately falls in love, and he promises to return the next year on the occasion of Poornima (full moon), to marry her. On his return, Kumar discovers that he has been promoted to manager and will very soon be partner. Unknown to him, however, is the overarching goal of Mr. Ranjit who desires to marry his beautiful, modern, Europe-returned daughter Madhu to Kumar. To make it worse, Kumar too has fallen for the charm of Madhu, a lookalike of Gauri and has unknowingly signed a paper available with Mr. Ranjit that could make him lose everything including the very clothes he wore. Kumar wants to return to Gauri who will commit suicide if he did not return by next Poornima. However, Ranjit Rai pleads with Kumar to marry his only daughter Madhu, who too will commit suicide if Kumar doesn't marry her.—Bhagirath Kumar Lader
