Dosti

Mr. Gupta passes away after an accident, leaving behind his ailing wife and son, Ramnath. When they are informed that the company does not accept liability for Gupta’s death, his wife falls down the stairs and faints. When Ramnath goes to fetch a doctor, he is knocked down and run over by a speeding car, losing the use of his left leg. When he returns from hospital, he finds that his mom has passed away, and his landlord has evicted him. Penniless and hungry, he roams the streets of Bombay and befriends a blind young man, Mohan. Mohan is on the look-out for his sister, Meena, who works as a nurse in one of the hospitals and hopes to be reunited with her. Both friends befriend an ailing young girl, Manjula, and hope to get some money from her so that Ramnath can attend school. But sadly, Manjula passes away. Meena refuses to recognize Mohan as she does not wish to associate herself with a lowly beggar; while Ramnath is arrested by the police for his involvement with a group of robbers.
