STORY , PLOT OF BOOT POLISH :-
Belu (Baby Naaz) and Bhola (Ratan Kumar) are left to the care of their wicked aunt Kamla (Chand Burque) when their mother dies. She forces them to beg in the streets and grabs all the money they get.

A bootlegger John Chacha (David) teaches them to lead a life of self-respect and work for a living instead of begging. They scrimp and save to buy a shoe-polish kit and start shining shoes. Kamla finds out about what they have been doing behind her back, beats them and throws them out of the house.

John Chacha gives them shelter, but then he is arrested and the kids are left to fend for themselves. When it rains and people don't get their shoes polished any more, the children are in danger of starving. But Bhola believes that he will never beg anymore but on one rainy night, a man tosses him a coin and he rejects it, but Belu takes it as she is very hungry.

Bhola slaps Belu for that and she drops the coin. Lastly, the police comes and is taking children with them. Belu rushes in an unknown train, but Bhola is arrested. In the train, Belu is adopted by a rich family and she mopes for her brother.

The climax is when Belu becomes rich and is now giving coins to the beggars, Bhola also comes to her. Humiliated, Bhola runs away while his sister screams for him. But, at last he returns and is reunited with his sister.

And then the rich family adopt both of the siblings and live happily ever after.

Moral: Begging gives the beggar little, and takes more from him. (This means that a beggar loses all his/her selfrespect by begging).

A most beautiful song describing life as a constant flux of ups and downs, joys and sorrows. In simple words,it conveys both the tough questions raised by the children about society's unfairness and the hope and resilience to cope with it.Thanks for the post.

ye mohabbat ke chirag hain

hamara kal inse roshan hoga..

Children are our most valuable natural resource...

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these...
