Plot[edit]
Moina is the youngest son of a middle-class family; he is unemployed and not good at studies. But he is quite popular with his neighbors for his helping instinct towards everyone. He is a good cricketer and wants to become a great player.
Moina's sister's marriage is fixed. The father asks his employed sons for financial help, but they refuse. So he decides to sell his house to collect money for his daughter's marriage.
In the newspaper, Moina reads that both the kidneys of a rich man's daughter have been damaged and the girl needs a kidney immediately. The rich man will pay a lot of money in return. Moina learns that if someone donates a kidney they can lead a normal life, but cannot do any hard work.
Now there are two paths open in front of Moina, either he will be one of the best players, or he will help the girl by giving a kidney. Finally, Moina gives up his dream of becoming a famous cricketer to collect money for his sister's wedding and to save his ancestral home from being sold.[1]
