Plot

Two young men, Jeevandas and Shankar inherit a substantial area of farmland on their father Ramswaroop Lal's passing. Jeevandas marries Bhagwanti, but they are childless, while Shankar marries Parvati and they have two sons, Govind and Shyam. Govind becomes paralysed in his right hand, due to an accident (electric shock). Many years in the future, Shyam leaves to become educated in the city, but on returning finds the family split in two from disagreement and bitterness; Jeevandas, Bhagwanti, Shyam, Navrangi and Neelima on one side, and Govind, his wife, Radha, Shankar and Parvati on the other. He borrows more money, this time from Shyam, to purchase an elephant. Govind and Radha soon celebrate the birth of a completely healthy baby boy, Navjeevandas Lal. Later, Navrangi intends to begin staging a show using the elephant at the carnival, where a boy is thrown from the trunk, and he intends using Govind's son. Later, Navjeevandas is abducted by Navrangi. Govind and Radha get to the carnival and save Navjeevandas. Navrangi attacks Govind, but surprisingly, Govind is snapped out of his paralysis and fights Navrangi. Moments later, when Navrangi is about to kill Govind and Shyam, Jeevandas and the rest of the family intervenes and discovers that he started the division of their home. Later, Navrangi is arrested and Govind and Shyam tear down the wall that separated the house. In the end, Jeevandas recites a prayer with the rest of the family united.
