Roti Kapda Aur Makaan is a classic Indian film from 1974 that revolves around the struggles of three protagonists - Bharat (Manoj Kumar), Vijay (Shashi Kapoor), and Tulsi (Zeenat Aman) - living in Mumbai. The film captures the essence of India in the 1970s when unemployment, poverty, inflation, and corruption were rampant. Bharat is a poor, honest worker who lives with his wife and children in a small room. He works as a construction worker but is often unable to find work due to the economic conditions. Vijay is a young man who comes to Mumbai in search of employment and ends up working for a ruthless businessman, Seth Dharamdas (Prem Nath). Tulsi is a poor girl who moves to Mumbai with her family in search of a better life but faces hardships due to their economic status.

The story begins with Bharat losing his job due to a strike by laborers. He is unable to feed his family and struggles to make ends meet. Vijay, on the other hand, works hard but is not paid his due wages by Seth Dharamdas. He is forced to live in a slum and faces humiliation from his fellow workers.

Meanwhile, Tulsi and her family face several challenges in Mumbai - from being robbed to struggling to find a place to live. She meets Vijay and the two fall in love. However, their happiness is short-lived as Seth Dharamdas tries to take advantage of Tulsi and her family.

The film highlights the contrast between the rich and poor in India at the time, the exploitation of workers by wealthy businessmen, and the struggles faced by those trying to make ends meet. It also showcases the power of unity and the importance of standing up against injustice.

The movie also features several memorable songs that became popular hits, including "Main Na Bhoolunga", "Mehangai Maar Gayi", and "Aur Nahin Bas Aur Nahin".

Roti Kapda Aur Makaan remains a classic in Indian cinema and is still relevant today in its portrayal of the struggles faced by the common man. The film's message of unity, perseverance, and fighting against injustice still resonates with audiences today.
