Story
Radha (Zarina Wahab) and Sunder (Asrani) and a child (Master Jeetu) are street singers who earn their living singing and dancing on streets, especially in the posh area near the Taj Mahal Intercontinental Hotel opposite of the Gateway of India in Bombay, India. Radha is pretty much down to earth and is content with living this life, working hard. But Sunder has big dreams of becoming rich, wealthy, and famous - quickly. Sunder's dreams do come true, albeit temporarily, when he wins an all-paid week's stay at a five star hotel, and comes in contact with the rich, the wealthy, and the famous.
