This is the biography of the noted Indian actor Dilip Kumar who, from his humble beginnings, reached out to the stars and came away with a fistful of magical moondust. He craved for love with a yearning bordering on passion but was denied it all his life. He translated his real-life angst into screen melodrama with such success that it brought him innumerable fans and the sobriquet of The Tragedy King, thus making him a legend in his own lifetime.
