Anu has, once again, created subs for a film and the first time ever, I think, for the songs from Jeet. Many many thanks to her for her hard work. India has finally won independence from British rule, and there are signs of progress among the population. One such sign of progress is in the village where two childhood sweethearts, namely Jeet and Vijay live. Vijay lives with his mom and brother Ratan. Ratan, who lives abroad, returns home to India, with all new ideas of progress and advancement. This is not met well with some of the villagers, including Jeet and Vijay themselves. Ratan overhears a conversation that Vijay is not his real brother, and asks Vijay to leave the house, despite his mother's protests. Self-respecting Vijay leaves the house, and Ratan plans to marry Jeet, and schemes with some villagers that will revolutionize his plans for progress, and make Vijay the culprit. The film doesn't espouse only socialist viewpoints, but comes perilously close to being communist in outlook. It's an interesting look at the kinds of politics being discussed post-independence.
