This all incident breaks Mohan completely. Everyone including his sister, Friend Ramu and Manju had left him. He was all alone on the streets without any hope. While on the streets he gets to know that Sharmaji is dead and Ramu again needs money for his paying his school fees. He again roams on the street singing and collects money and pays Ramu’s fees without letting him know this.

But with so much emotional burden and physical toll, he falls ill and is ultimately admitted to the hospital. Meanwhile, Ramu gets to know the sacrifice of Mohan and feels guilty and burdened and runs to meet him. At the hospital, Mohan was silently assisted by his sister Meena. Ramu meets Mohan and apologizes for everything and Mohan selflessly forgives him. And after he gets to know that he was assisted and treated by his sister he forgives her too. And thus a masterpiece Bollywood movie comes to an end.
