Orphaned at a young age, Vijay lives with his Puffi in a village and is an atheist. He is drawn towards Meeradevi, a Bhajan singing devotee, but she not only rejects him but also asks him not to come near her. When she falls ill, he makes inquiries about her, both start to converse and are drawn toward each other. She confides in him about her wealthy childhood, that was the time she was called by her real name, Surabhi, and how her brother had coerced her into marrying a much older man - compelling her to forsake all materialistic bonds and becoming a Sanyasin/Jogan. The question remains: Will she accept now him as her life partner? —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Trivia
The film's title refers to religious female mendicants (called "perseverants" in the sub-titles). The most famous example, is the 16th century poet/saint Meerabai. It is a song by Meerabai ("Ghunghat ke pat khol") sung by Geeta Dutt that first attracts Dilip Kumar's character to the temple.

Crazy credits
There is no credited writer(s) for the movie. Instead, the credits show a large question mark over the words "written by".

Mesmerizing!

My mother saw this movie when she was very young, in cinema, with her father. There were many instances, when she couldn't understand this movie at that time, but there were ample moments in the movie, which specially captured her attention, and after more than 5 decades she watched that movie again today to understand the true beauty of it. She loves this movie and according to her the characters are put into life by the amazing acting of Dilip Kumar and Nargis.
