Abstract: A detailed story summary about a mischievous boy Zafar, his friend Sabir, and a psychologist warden Saleem who reforms the hostel. The film explores themes of friendship, sacrifice, and moral transformation.

Description: The first lists credits for production, direction, music, photography, sound, editing, art, make‑up, play‑back singers, and assistants. The second page provides a synopsis: Zafar, a mischievous boy, is sent to a city hostel; his friend Sabir tries to reform him but fails; a new warden, Saleem (a psychologist), succeeds in transforming most students, and after a dramatic accident involving Sabir, Zafar’s change is implied. The film appears to be a moral and educational production aimed at youth. These documents were likely found in Miss Fatima Jinnah’s files due to the film company’s earlier request for her blessings.
