Santosh

In Santosh, the character Kamla experiences a dramatic shift from wealth to poverty after marrying a poor man and having a child named Santosh. Disillusioned by her new life, she abandons her family to return to her wealthy father. Later, she remarries a millionaire and has another son, Kundan, creating a tense family rivalry.

As the story unfolds, Santosh grows up as a struggling mill worker, while Kundan enjoys the benefits of their mother's wealth. The film escalates into a confrontation between the mill's workers and management, leading to Kamla's involvement in a labor dispute. Despite her initial promise to the workers, she ultimately betrays them by siding with Kundan.

The narrative reaches a climax when Santosh is abducted by Kamla and Kundan, forcing him into a position where he must negotiate for his freedom. This dramatic family saga reflects the struggles of the working class and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters, making it a significant entry in the genre of family dramas from the late 80s.
