Khosla and Waheeda had a loud argument on the set when the latter refused to wear a low neck outfit for a scene.

Laaj whose father has arranged her matrimonial alliance to his doctor friend's acquaintance, takes a family heirloom; pearl necklaces and elopes with her beau Shyam to Bombay.

On the train, a crafty journalist named Prannath Kashyap overhears the lovers' plans and follows them in search of a story.

A brief interlude with the taxi drivers, who put themselves on the track of Shyam and with twists-n-turns, the necklace is retrieved and Laaj reaches home in time before her father wakes up and notices her absence.

As father and subdued Laaj is waiting at the airport he says to her "the boy I want you to marry is a nice guy, I like him a lot, but I want you to see him and decide".
