Plot
Suryakant Garodia is married to Savitri. They have four daughters: Saraswati, Durga, Gauri and Laxmi. Owing to medical problems, Savitri can't have any more children. Suryakant wants a male child and decides to take a second wife. He gets married to Menaka, who gives birth to a son, Yuvraj. Suryakant pampers his son and neglects his daughters. He also pays Menaka more attention than Savitri.
As his four daughters grow up, they have to struggle hard to fulfill their dreams. On the other hand, Yuvraj gets everything on a platter and starts abusing his father's trust in him. Much later, they learn that Menaka had given birth to a daughter and, knowing Suryakant's desire for son, she secretly exchanged the baby girl with a boy. Hence, Yuvraj is not Suryakant's son. Menaka's daughter is traced to a brothel. She comes back home and eventually joins her four elder sister in the fight for the rights of daughters.

The careful Devil is still at hand with means;

To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
