Shola Aur Shabnam Jun 24, 1960

Ravi or "Bunnu" as he's called at home and Sandhya (Chandrakala) are childhood sweethearts despite Ravi being poor, and Sandhya being rich. Sandhya's father, who is a senior official in the Railways is posted to a distant location; Ravi and Sandhya are separated and out of contact. Many years later, Ravi has matured into a strapping young man. Not being rich or influential, Ravi finds it hard to find a job and decides to approach his friend Prakash (played by M. Rajan). Prakash is a happy-go-luck rich kid, whose family runs a large timber factory amid lush jungles, and is only too happy to hire Ravi at a generous salary (Rs.300 per month, although Ravi asks for only Rs.100).
