Patthar Ke Sanam

Meena, traveling from town to her village, meets Rajesh on the train where he teases her. Taruna, her loyal assistant, is with her and helps navigate the awkward moment. This chance encounter pulls Rajesh into Meena's world and sets the stage for the subsequent schemes.

Meena's father hires a new manager who turns out to be Rajesh himself. The coincidence brings Rajesh into the Meena-Taruna circle and into the household dynamic. This marks the practical start of the love triangle and the schemes that follow.

Meena and Taruna tease Rajesh by pretending to be in love with him. Rajesh feigns equal affection for both women, but the deception unknowingly deepens real feelings. The trio's bond begins to blur the line between playacting and true romance.

Meena makes it clear she wants Rajesh for herself and challenges Taruna's role in the affair. Thakur supports the idea of Meena marrying Rajesh, bringing a sense of approval to the emerging couple. The arrangement intensifies the household's stakes and the looming wealth conflicts.

Meena reminds Taruna of the childhood engagement with Lala Bhagatram, which rekindles old tensions. Bhagatram's public insistence on the promise adds pressure on Taruna and expands the feud. Rajesh becomes entangled in the succession of loyalties and rivalries.

Bhagatram, a local contractor, secures the orchard contract but pays little to the growers. Rajesh pressures to ensure Bhagatram receives only the estate's produce, angering Bhagatram further. The contract dispute foreshadows the confrontation with the Bhagatram faction.

Gauri, Bhagatram's sister, is in love with Haria, a Thakur's servant, adding a romantic complication to the power plays. The romance threads through the families, amplifying resentments and feelings. This subplot mirrors the broader conflict over wealth and control.

Rajesh is attacked by masked men, and his mother Shanti arrives to care for him. Thakur remembers a murder-for-wealth motive tied to Shanti's husband, adding a sense of danger and deceit. The attack heightens the sense that old secrets will destabilize the household.

Shanti reveals that Meena is her daughter and Rajesh is Thakur's son, exposing a secret plan to reclaim wealth through their marriage. Taruna is warned to stay away, though her feelings for Rajesh remain unresolved. The revelation reframes every relationship in the household and raises the stakes for the lovers.

Under Shanti's pressure, Taruna pretends to withdraw her feelings for Rajesh. Rajesh's love remains steadfast, which makes Taruna's ruse painful and emotionally draining. The couple's distance deepens the tragedy and sets up the climactic confrontation.

Taruna's heartbreak culminates in a suicide attempt, while Haria later reveals she is alive. This turn of events redirects the story toward the impending showdown. The emotional rollercoaster hinges on love, loyalty, and the looming exposure of the family secrets.

Haria is found alive but kept in captivity along with Gauri by Bhagatram. Rajesh and Taruna rush to intervene as the network of captives becomes tangled. Gauri's presence reframes loyalties just before the final confrontation.

Rajesh leads a climactic assault against the goons and frees Taruna and Gauri. Meena sacrifices herself during the skirmish, and the pursuit ends with a brutal counterattack by Thakur. The assailants' defeat shifts the balance of power toward Rajesh and Taruna.

Meena dies in the fighting, and Thakur kills Bhagatram in a fit of rage before being taken into custody. The network of wealth and influence collapses as the family feuds are settled in the courtroom. The estate's power dynamic is broken, and the immediate danger subsides.

Shanti contemplates leaving, but Rajesh and Taruna insist she stay with them. Haria and Gauri marry, bringing new alliances to the village. The story ends with a fragile balance of wealth and love among the surviving characters.
