action
Amar is a lawyer and is promised to the beautiful Anju, who comes from a rich family. But then on a rainy night, the village beauty Sonia hides in Amar's house, who wanted to get to safety from the deceitful Shankar. Amar hears her footsteps in the house and tracks her down. Drawn by her wet body, he attacks Sonia.
She flees, but out of shame she says nothing of the coercion. However, she refuses to tie the knot with Shankar. Anju is at her side, but suspects that her fiancé Amar is also behind it.
For some time now, Anju has noticed some changes at Amar: He no longer dares to enter a temple - neither alone nor in company. He also wants to have the house renovated, but one day some things collapse and Amar sustains several serious injuries. Sonia, who was nearby, tries to help him.
Amar receives medical treatment while Sonia prays daily in the temple for Amar's recovery. When Anju hears Sonia praying, she now knows what binds her to Amar. She dissolves the engagement and gives Sonia her engagement ring.
Other village events follow: Shankar is murdered and Sonia is charged with the crime. She is defended in court by Amar, who ultimately wins the trial. At the end of the trial, Anju unites the two and leaves the courtroom.

background
The combination of the melodramatic story and some unusual surreal images makes the film an exception in its genre. The fact that it was commercially unsuccessful is also due to the negative role of the star Dilip Kumar and its non-acceptance by the audience.
