Hamrahi

Shekhar is a Lothario. He’s also the son of the Public Prosecutor. After his philandering has exhausted his parents’ patience, he takes a fancy to Saradha and contrives to put her in a compromising position. She cannot escape from marrying him after her father accepts the Public Prosecutor’s proposal of a union between their offspring. Shocked by his bride’s contempt for his behaviour, Shekhar resolves to wait until his wife accepts him of her own volition. When she contracts pneumonia he gains the opportunity to win her love. However, an encounter with an old flame lands him in jail and Shekhar finds himself facing his father across a courtroom, charged with murder.

Shekhar lives a wealthy lifestyle in Bombay along with his dad, Public Prosecutor Dharamdas; mom; an elder brother, Advocate Mahesh, his deaf wife, Shanti, and three children; and a much younger sister, Sarla. Dharamdas does not approve of Shekhar’s womanizing habits and warns him. When he finds out that Shekhar is involved with a woman named Hemlata, who is pregnant, is sends his brother-in-law to settle this issue. That done, he and his wife arrange Shekhar’s marriage with a coy maiden, Sharda. Shekhar decides to turn a new leaf and falls in love with Sharda. While at an outing Sharda falls ill and Dharamdas travels there only to find Shekhar in the company of Hemlata. Quite displeased he returns home. Shortly thereafter Dharamdas is approached by Inspector Feroz Khan who has a warrant to arrest Shekhar for the murder of Hemlata. As a result Shekhar is arrested and tried in Court. And the person who will be prosecuting him and asking for the death penalty will be none other than his stern and disapproving father.
