The son of a wealthy industrialist, Raj falls in love with Bobby, the daughter of a Christian fisherman, but their contrasting positions in society – and opposition from their parents – act as a barrier to their love.

Two refreshing young stars, popular songs, and a hint of socialism in the storyline made Bobby an instant success in the 1970s. Set against the backdrop of a socioeconomic divide, this breezy teenage romance by the showman of Hindi cinema, Raj Kapoor, retains its timeless charm.
