Aaram
About Aaram
Painter Shyam meets Leela on the street in a storm and lets her stay the night. She later takes refuge with a widowed rani, whose son Kumar wants to marry her. Leela says she loves Shyam, and through the rani one of his paintings is entered in a competition. As the couple set out for Shyam's village to marry, Bhagwan, a suitor she had been running from, kidnaps her outside the haveli. At the restaurant they used to visit, Shyam and Kumar overpower the kidnappers. Kumar is shot and tells his mother the wound will heal.
