The personal triumphs and frustrations of Arati, who decides, despite the initial protests of her husband, Subrata, to take a job as a door-to-door salesgirl to help support their family. When she becomes successful in her work, gaining self-confidence and financial independence, her husband, an ordinary employee of a bank, is unable to accept the situation and wishes for her to quit. Ironically, Subrata loses his full-time job when the bank he was working for shuts down in the last of the Calcutta bank crashes, and Arati now becomes the sole breadwinner of the family. Winner of the best direction award at the 1964 Berlin International Film Festival.
