Coolie

A young boy, Iqbal, is swept away from his family by a devastating flood and is forced to fend for himself in the bustling city of Mumbai. He takes on the grueling job of a coolie at the railway station, where he faces numerous challenges, including exploitation by a ruthless businessman.

Wealthy and evil Zafar Khan is imprisoned for 10 years after being arrested for various crimes, including his obsession with Salma, a woman he wants to marry. Upon his release, he finds Salma married to a good man, Aslam Khan, and plots his revenge by flooding the region, killing her father, and causing Salma to lose her memory. Zafar abducts Salma and adopts a boy, Sunny, for her to raise. Years pass, and Salma's son, Iqbal, grows up to become a leader among the local coolies. When Iqbal discovers his mother's new life, he tries to reunite with her, but Salma has no memory of him. Iqbal and his friend, Sunny, a budding reporter, become involved in a labor strike and uncover a banking and housing scandal. In the end, Iqbal faces off against Zafar in a fight to the death.
