Plot

Akash is a poet and writer who while walking through a market one day overhears one of his poems being sung at a courtesan's house. He can't help but go in and meet Shabnam who is a singer and dancer there. She is an admirer of Akash's work but doesn't know him. The acquaintance soon turns into love for each other. But neither the courtesan's mother Amina Bai nor Akash's father is willing for the relationship. Things take a turn when Shabnam is accused of Amina Bai's murder. Can Akash's lawyer friend Ashok save Shabnam ? Will the society accept them being together ?
