Chetan Anand’s 2nd film at Navketan, made between the more famous Afsar (1950) and Taxi Driver (1954), argues for a humane form of capitalism. The honest lawyer Ram Mohan (Anand) wants to marry Janaki (Kartik), daughter of the businessman Din Dayal. The villain is a rival businessman, Kuber Das (Singh), who blackmails Din Dayal into letting him marry Janaki. The entire community comes to the aid of the honest capitalist but to no avail and it remains up to the star, Anand, to ensure the happy ending.
The film is based on a real event which took place in Amritsar.
The film's music was by classical musician Ali Akbar Khan. Jaidev, who was a student of Khan from Lucknow, started his career by assisting Khan in film music. He later went on to become a noted music director.
Lata Mangeshkar did not charge a fee for singing the title song "Har Kahin Pe Shaadmani", out of respect for the sarod maestro.
The background score of the film was done with the help of Hindustani classical musicians Pandit Ravi Shankar and Pannalal Ghosh.
