It stars Rajendra Kumar, with Mala Sinha as his wife, and Hema Malini as his past love, who has re-entered his life to seek vengeance for abandoning her years ago.

Secondly, this picture has for the only time Kishore Kumar singing a song (in a duet with Asha Bhosle), for which music was composed by Naushad.

Hema Malini's role, like in 'Lal Patthar', has negative shades to it, though in both movies, the character played by her becomes positive in the end.

Chandrashekhar is unable to find any employment as Rani Padmavati refuses to give him a reference and on the contrary uses her influence to ensure that he never gets a job.

Defeated by circumstances Chandrashekhar returns home to find out that the Rani had ganged up with the local money-lenders and has taken over his land and property.
