Lala Kedarnath Prasanta (Balraj Sahni) is a wealthy businessman living with his wife Laxmi (Achala Sachdev) and three little sons, who were born on same date, same month but few years apart each other. On their birthday, Lala Kedarnath is visited by Pandit Uday Shankar (Badri Prasad), a well-known astrologer who advises him not to be proud of his wealthy lifestyle or be too optimistic about the future as the actions of "time" is unpredictable. Lala Kedarnath ignores his advice and is busy making plans of becoming even more wealthier. That night, as he is discussing his future plans with Laxmi, a sudden earthquake takes place and the whole town crumbles, knocking Lala Kedarnath unconscious. After regaining consciousness, he discovers that his house is destroyed and his family is gone. The eldest son Raja ends up in an orphanage while the middle-born son Ravi is adopted from the streets by a rich couple. Elsewhere, the youngest son Vijay is still with Laxmi who thinks Lala Kedarnath died in the earthquake and the two continue living in poverty. Lala Kedarnath traces Raja to the orphanage only to learn that he has fled as the manager (Jeevan Dhar) ill-treated him. Frustrated, he chokes the manager to death and is arrested by the police. As the police drive away with Lala Kedarnath, Raja is shown running on the streets alone
