Summary:
Kapoor plays a 'thirsty peasant' wandering through the city looking for a drink of water. He breaks into an apartment block but is discovered and has to dodge the residents surveying the middle-class life. The film ends with the hero's searing denunciation of a class that places no value on honesty and a fantasy sequence in which Nargis finally offers him water to the tune of a song heralding the dawn.
