In an attempt to earn more money Radha and Shamu attempt to cultivate more of their land, only for Shamu to lose his arms in a farming accident. He disappears out of shame, abandoning Radha and her children.Radha struggles on, losing her crop and two children to a flood.

Her older son Ramu soon gets embroiled in his own cycle of poverty. Her second and favorite son Birju resents Sukilal and takes out his rage by harassing Sukilal's daughter. This taunting turns serious when he tries to kill Sukilal, becomes a dacoit and vowes to kidnap Sukilal's daughter. Radha must now decide if she wants to stand against her favorite son.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Berserk Button: Radha's bangles are this for Birju, especially when the loanshark's daughter wears them. For him they represent to him the lifelong extortion of his family.

Fan Disservice: An in-her-prime Nargis wearing a soaking wet sari should theoretically be hot. It's not.
