==Plot==<br />
The educated and liberal Harbala (Khote) is oppressed by her conservative husband Seth Gopaldas (Date). Determined that her children Somnath (Kapoor) and Neelam (Rose) shall lead freer lives, she is frustrated by Gopaldas' authoritarian traditionalism and commits suicide. Neelam and Somanth, haunted by guilt, join her in death. The film leaves open the possibility that in the future a less oppressive society will be achieved: literally translated, the title means 'The Unfinished Tale'.<ref name="IMDb 2016">{{cite web | title=Adhuri Kahani (1939) - Plot Summary | website=IMDb | date=2016-12-17 | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213428/plotsummary | accessdate=2016-12-17}}</ref><br />
