Dilruba (1950)
Rupa (Rehana) is a dancer in a troupe led by the Professor (Yakub) and they travel from town to town to put on a show. On a train journey, Rupa discovers a pearl necklace in the Professor’s possession. When the train stops unexpectedly to pick up some policemen, the professor surreptitiously slips the necklace into the pocket of a young man’s coat hanging nearby. The young man, Ratan (Dev Anand) is an engineer who is planning to build a housing complex in the same small town that the dance troupe is visiting.
