Adhikar (1954)

Shekhar, Lata and their child Shashi live in a small town and have just received news that he will be transferred to Bombay. The couple leaves Shashi with their maid and attends a party--but return home to find the building in flames. Lata rescues Shashi but perishes from numerous burns. A sorrowful Shekhar leaves his daughter with her maternal grandparents and relocates to Bombay where he rents a room from parsimonious Radhakishen. After thwarting attempts by the later to marry his senile sister Yashodhara, he falls in love with wealthy Usha and they marry. After a short span of harmony, the duo face challenges when she finds out that he never told her about Lata and Shashi, and leaves him. How will Shekhar deal with this separation?
