No translation, sorry. The VHS tape from which this was made was kindly supplied by Dr. Kapur, with help from Surjit Singh. I am grateful to the both of them, especially Dr. Kapur who has held on to this rare tape for many years now. Unfortunately, the film source for the VHS tape wasn't so good and it's blurry and flickers. And the audio is weak in places as well.

This was a major film for both Nimmi and Premnath and I have no idea why it's not available in home video. Nimmi loves Premnath and Premnath loves her in return. Unfortunately, Premnath's already married brother, Kishore Sahu, also loves Nimmi. And Kishore Sahu is vicious and unscrupulous, while Premnath seems to be a bit dimwitted, which sets the stage for some heavy drama. Nimmi gets to use all her acting tricks, including the bugeyes and the sidelong glances. And Cuckoo gets two unusual and outstanding dances.

If anyone can present a coherent plot summary to help others decide if they want to watch it, I'd welcome that.
