The film tells, in flashback, the story of Suresh Sinha, a famous film director. His marriage to Bina is on the rocks because her wealthy family sees filmmaking as a job lacking in social status. He is also denied access to his daughter Pammi who is sent to a private boarding school. On a rainy night Sinha meets a woman Shanti and gives her his coat. She comes to the film studio to return the coat, unintentionally disrupting the shooting by walking in front of the camera. While reviewing the rushes, Sinha recognises her potential as a star in the making and casts her as Paro in Devdas. Shanti goes on to become an acclaimed star.
