The film stars Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat Aman in the lead supported by Prem Chopra, Asrani, Madan Puri, Yogeeta Bali and Asit Sen.
[1] One monsoon night, a terrified young woman, Sonia (Yogita Bali), gets down from a Taxi and runs towards the Railway station in Deena Pur asking for a ticket to Bombay.
Since Rohit feels it is not safe for her to wait at the platform he offers to drop her at his quarters, near by and she readily agrees to it.
Sitting on his chair in his office, he goes back in time and lives in flashback for a while thinking about how he first came across Rashmi (Zeenat Aman).
He is riding a motorcycle on his way to his uncle's (Asit Sen) house for his cousin's wedding.
Her father, Diwan Sardarilal (Hari Shivdasani), is looking for an assistant for Moti Babu (Prem Chopra), her brother-in-law, who has been looking after the business now.
Rohit immediately begins auditing the records and discovers that the entries are not correct and a huge sum of money has been missing.
As per Panchayat's decision, a punishment, he is thrashed in front of the villagers and asked to leave the place immediately.
Much against wishes of Diwan and Moti Babu, she leaves the house and runs away with Rohit singing "Hum dono do premee".
Rohit works for Bombay Publicity, an Ad Agency and Rashmi, on the other hand gets bored sitting at home the whole day with nothing to do.
Indifference creeps in but Rohit is understanding and does all he can to keep Rashmi happy, though his ego keeps coming in between (sounds contradicting?).
She becomes thrilled with the idea that now within a short span of time, name and fame would knock her doors.
Having realised that he over-reacted, he comes back home in the evening and apologises but only after a while he finds out that Rashmi has left the house and gone.
To this, Mr. Saxena says he had come hunting with Diwan Sardarilal, who has put up at a place named Karimganj, nearby.
Rohit on the other hand tries wooing her back and further requests her to join his new residence that he got as a railway employee.
Rohit further remaining confident vows before Moti Babu to bring in money in order to get Rashmi back.
However, he is devastated to realise that he has no such money on his own but only the jewellery worth 5 lakhs in his office's locker belonging to the young lady who took refuge in his quarter.
Rohit is proven innocent and reunited with Rashmi The score and soundtrack for film was composed by R. D. Burman and lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi.
The scene in which Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat elope, was shot on Panvel railway station.
The film fetched 28 million in India throughout its run, and was a platinum jubilee hit at the box office .
