It also stars Vikram Makandar, Nadira, Rita Bhaduri, Om Prakash, Utpal Dutt and Sridevi, in her first significant Hindi role.

This film depicts the restrictive social conventions regarding inter-religion marriage and unwed motherhood in India.

Julie (Lakshmi) is a Christian Anglo-Indian girl with a loving, but alcoholic father (Om Prakash), a dominating mother (Nadira), a younger brother and sister (Sridevi).

He then asks to marry her, but his mother, Devki (Achala Sachdev), objects to the marriage as Julie is of a different faith.

However, the wisdom of Shashi's father (Utpal Dutt) prevails as he confronts the mothers' prejudices regarding caste and religion, and urges them both to accept their grandchild.
