==Plot==
Ashok ([Dilip Kumar](/source/Dilip_Kumar)) is an impoverished writer waiting for his book to be published. He meets Bindiya ([Nalini Jaywant](/source/Nalini_Jaywant)), a flower-seller, who insists he buy some flowers from her. Ashok gives his last two [annas](/source/Anna_(monetary_subunit)) (12 pence) to her. A rogue tries to snatch the money from Bindiya and when Ashok tries to help her, the rogue punches him in the face, temporarily blinding him. Bindiya takes him to the local doctor. Since he has nowhere to stay, Ashok stays with the doctor and his family until he recovers. The doctor's daughter Geeta ([Nargis](/source/Nargis)) falls in love with Ashok. Bindiya has also fallen in love with Ashok and cares deeply for him. Ashok is implicated in a murder case and is imprisoned. Geeta's father dies and her two aunts come to stay with her. Meanwhile, Bindiya manages to find a suicide note written by Ashok's alleged victim and Ashok is proven to be innocent. Geeta's aunts happen to see Bindiya with Ashok and believe her to be Ashok's wife. They convince Geeta to marry Ashok's publisher. After some more melodramatic turns in the story, Bindiya dies and Ashok and Geeta unite. Ashok's book is finally published and becomes popular.

[Lata Mangeshkar](/source/Lata_Mangeshkar) was still finding a niche for herself in the Hindi film industry and according to Ganesh Anantharaman, it was a brave move by composer [Anil Biswas](/source/Anil_Biswas_(composer)) to use the "tinny vocals" of Lata in songs like "Jeevan Sapna Toot Gaya" and "Mere Liye Woh Gham-E-Intazar Chhod Gaye", sung by [Lata Mangeshkar](/source/Lata_Mangeshkar) and [Meena Kapoor](/source/Meena_Kapoor).[{{cite web|title=Anokha Pyar|url=http://www.giitaayan.com/search.asp?s=Anokha+Pyar&browse=film|website=giitaayan.com|publisher=giitaayan - An Interface to iTrans Song Book(ISB)|accessdate=22 May 2020}}][{{cite web|title=Anokha Pyar|url=http://hindigeetmala.net/movie/anokha_pyar.htm|website=hindigeetmala.net|publisher=Hindi Geetmala|accessdate=23 June 2015}}]
