Dupatta

A lively, singing mountain girl, Bulbul (Noor Jehan), meets an army officer, Roshan (Ajay Kumar), and they fall in love at first sight.

Despite her stepmother’s (Bibbo) opposition, her kind‑hearted father (Azad) marries them, and they move to the city to live with Roshan’s cheerful uncle (Ghulam Mohammad) and ill‑tempered aunt (Nafees Begum). Their married life is happy, and they have a child. Roshan goes to war and is reported killed.

Bulbul bravely raises their child until Roshan returns, disfigured and afraid she won’t accept him. After many misunderstandings, dangers, and accusations, the truth emerges, and Bulbul accepts him even in his wounded state.
