Plot
During World War II, Japan invades Burma (now known as Myanmar) in 1941. Many Indians have adopted Burma as their country and are living there. The invasion brings many hardships to these Indians. They start migrating to India, walking hundreds of miles through jungles and mountains with the Japanese in pursuit. The heroine sets up an organisation called Maanasamrakshana in India to take care of the lost children. The heroine is involved in nationalistic activities and defeats the villain's anti-national activities. She faces her own relatives who misappropriate her wealth.[1]
