Khud-Daar

In the bustling streets of early‑1980s Bombay, the rhythm of the city provides a vivid backdrop for a tale of family, ambition and duty. Within a modest household, an older half‑brother, Hari Srivastav, has long been the steady anchor for his younger siblings, guiding them through both the simple joys and the inevitable hardships of their shared upbringing. When circumstances force them to leave their home, the brothers step into a world where each corner of the metropolis pulses with opportunity and uncertainty.

The younger pair—Govind and Rajesh—embark on very different paths. Govind embraces the grit of the city, taking up a demanding job that keeps a taxi humming through rain‑slick avenues, his focus razor‑sharp on providing for his brother’s future. Rajesh, meanwhile, is drawn to the allure of wealth and status, finding himself swept into a marriage that promises comfort and social elevation. Their contrasting choices set up a quiet tension, reflecting the push‑and‑pull between personal aspiration and familial responsibility.

A compassionate widower named Rahim opens his home to the brothers, offering a warm, albeit modest, household that includes his son Anwar and daughter Farida. Within this new haven, Manju Verma enters the scene, her presence further intertwining the lives of the two siblings with the bustling interests of a well‑to‑do family. As relationships deepen, subtle currents of expectation and pressure begin to surface, hinting at the complex web of loyalties that will test each character’s resolve.

Amid these intertwining lives, Hari steps into the legal arena, navigating a courtroom that becomes a focal point for the brothers’ intertwined fates. The environment is charged with a blend of melodious music, sharp dialogues and the unmistakable hum of a city that never sleeps, promising a narrative rich in emotional stakes and moral dilemmas without revealing the outcomes that lie ahead.
