[1] It was released on 14 August 1987, along with Watan Ke Rakhwale, but still did well commercially and proved to be a box office hit as well as one of the highest grossing films of 1987.

[2] The film opens with widowed Laxmi, a loving and caring mother to Lalita, a young, college-going, devoted daughter.

At a college function, Lalita sings "Patjhad Saawan Basant Bahaar," where she forgets the lyrics, and Professor Vijay Choudhury completes the music.

That day, Vijay learns that Kumar is getting married, and his misconceptions are cleared, but Laxmi is nowhere to be traced.

She met Advocate Dharamdas, Ravi's maternal uncle and guardian, who fixes their marriage with the condition of passing the final year exams with good numbers.

On visiting Lalita's home, Vijay sees Laxmi in a widow's attire; completely shocked (again having misconceptions), he resigns from the college.

Laxmi meets Vijay at his residence and tells him the story about her new avatar.

After leaving his home, Laxmi came to Pune to meet her friend Sunita, the only photograph shown in the movie).

On the night of her birthday, Lalita is kidnapped by Shera, Prem's stepbrother.

To spare Lalita from any shock and not letting her know that she isn't her mother, Laxmi acquires widow's getup.

Shera is back from jail and finds the whereabouts of Prem's family.

Shera takes advantage of the situation and beats Vijay, telling him that Ravi is responsible.

Vijay meets Advocate Dharamdas and tells him all the story to reconcile the family.

To save Lalita, Laxmi takes the bullet, is unconscious, and Professor Vijay holds her.

Shera succumbs to the stabbing earlier in the climax by Gulshan Grover.
