The film follows the journey of (Mahipal), a noble prince famous for his unmatched generosity. A beautiful princess named Zarina (Shakila) is cursed by a magician and falls into a death-like sleep. To break the curse, Hatim must answer seven difficult questions posed by a mysterious hermit. Each question forces him to undertake a dangerous quest, where he helps strangers in need (e.g., rescuing a trapped demon, reuniting lovers, feeding the hungry despite his own peril). By selflessly completing each task, he learns the answers, ultimately revives the princess, and defeats the evil magician.
