The film was made at a time when Shantaram was producing his social films of "exceptional merit" like Apna Desh (1949), Dahej, Parchhain (1952) and Teen Batti Char Rasta (1953). The film was about the plight of quarry workers, and the roles of Chandrashekhar as the quarry worker and Shashikala as the crazy but astute girl were commended.

Plot
When one of the quarry workers dies, management asks the workers to continue saying people die every day. This incites the workers, and, led by one of them (Chandrashekhar), they approach the owner, whose daughter (Sheila Ramani) is not sympathetic to their arguments. The owner promises to look after the fate of their children and the workers return to work. The mad girl Pagli (crazy) (Shashikala) laughs at the departing miners as she knows the promises are false. Vikas, the Seth's son, just returned after completing his Medical studies gets interested in her. The story follows the change in the daughter's behaviour over a period of time as she interacts with the workers and Pagli and the Seth's son's relationship.
