Unemployed Vijay is the youngest in his family consisting of his widowed mom, and two brothers. His passion is poetry - frowned upon by his brothers - who want him to find gainful employment instead. Vijay's poems are quite radical in which he laments about the poor, the destitute, and the arrogance of the rich after the departure of the British from India. His efforts to get them published are in vain. He takes to drinking, gets in trouble with the law, is disowned by his brothers, ends up at a brothel and befriends a prostitute named Gulabo. Gulabo is sympathetic, listens to him as he pours his heart out, and decides to assist Vijay. Watch what happens when Gulabo approaches some of her affluent clientèle to assist Vijay and try and get his work published, without revealing that they are written by an alcoholic, disheveled, homeless man.
Pyaasa Preview
Suraj (Aftab Shivdasani) is the guy who wants to try every possible short cut for becoming rich. He is so money-minded that he would do anything to get his hands on big money.
He finds a short cut to riches in Sheetal (Yukta) who is a boss in a big company. His plan is simple - to enter Sheetal's life, to woo and marry her. Once married, all her money will be his.
Easier said than done! Sheetal is an independent girl who is not so easy to get. Besides, she has her own priorities. She is more attracted towards Prem (Sayed Zulfi) who is good looking, loving and as rich as she is.
Suraj sees his dream to become rich falling apart. As a last resort an evil idea springs in his mind and he picks up the gun to realize his dream.
