Plot

[edit]

Jameel belongs to a poor family consisting of his parents and younger sister, Parveen, affectionately known as Pino. His parents struggle to make ends meet to support his education, including his hostel expenses. They even discontinue Pino's studies after middle school to prioritize Jameel's education. Jameel is in love with his class fellow, Farida. However, he often wastes money on frivolous activities without considering the hardships his parents face to earn it.

When one of his friends is in dire need of money to hospitalize his father after an accident, Jameel selflessly gives him his admission fee to help. Unfortunately, this means Jameel can't submit his own admission fee, resulting in his failure. Initially, his father is disappointed in his failure, but his anger intensifies when he learns that Jameel deliberately chose not to submit the fee. The argument that follows leads Jameel to leave home.

After completing her studies, Farida starts working at a newspaper office. His father suggests she quit her job, considering they don't have a shortage of money, but Farida believes in gender equality and wants to live life on her own terms. Meanwhile, his cousin Aslam often visits and tries to lure her, but she remains steadfast.

Jameel leaves home and starts living with a friend. When he learns that Farida has started working, he visits her office and asks her to quit her job, disapproving of women working. Farida refuses, citing her belief in gender equality, and Jameel leaves her office disappointed.

At his friend's house, Jameel learns that his friend's father is struggling to repay a loan and is being harassed by the lender. Moved by their plight, Jameel steals jewelry from his parents' house, which is meant for Pino's marriage. His father catches him in the act but chooses not to confront him then.

Jameel's mother files a police report against the thief, despite his father's disapproval. The police arrest their neighbor, Kaala, a poor factory worker who has a minor criminal record and has been interested in Pino. Jameel's father later visits Kaala to apologize for the trouble he faces due to the FIR. He brings him to home as he had high fever. However, the neighbors protest, citing Kaala's past and demanding he be thrown out. Meanwhile, Jameel's father receives a money order from Jameel's friend, whom Jameel had helped by giving him his admission fee. Through this, Jameel's father learns the reason behind Jameel's failure to pay his own fee, understanding his selfless act.

Eventually, Jameel's father reveals to his mother that Jameel is the actual thief. Upon hearing this, his mother falls ill with fever and passes away soon after. Farida visits Jameel's house, where Pino recognizes her from a photo in Jameel's notebook. Farida learns about Jameel's departure and offers to help Pino continue her studies.

A matchmaker brings a proposal for Pino's marriage, but Jameel's father refuses. The matchmaker warns that Pino might elope if her marriage isn't arranged soon. Farida later meets Jameel and makes him realize his mistakes. Jameel decides to make amends and provide for his family.

Jameel finds a job and has to go to Dhaka for a month. He informs Farida about his situation through a letter and apologizes for his earlier behavior towards her working. Meanwhile, Pino's father arranges her marriage through the same matchmaker, who turns out to be a fraud. The fake groom and matchmaker have ulterior motives, and they bring Pino to Aslam, who tries to assault her. However, Farida reaches the scene and saves Pino. Kaala, who has been watching over Pino, also intervenes with the police and helps rescue her.

After the ordeal, Pino returns home, and Farida and her father visit Jameel's father to discuss her marriage to Jameel. Coincidentally, Jameel's friend's wife visits and returns the loan that Jameel had given them. Jameel's father finally learns about Jameel's noble act of stealing the jewelry. Jameel arrives, and his father announces Pino's marriage to Kaala, bringing a new beginnings for the family.
