[edit] Story

The movie is a powerful story of a person who wastes his life for the sake of a mentally unstable woman. The story is very sad and heart breaking, with an end worth watching. Actor Nasseruddin Shah and Rekha's convincing performances are admirable. The overall plot is this: Mahinder (Nasseruddin Shah) loves Maya (Anuradha Patel). She refuses to marry him because she doesn't believe in marriage. So Mahinder gets married to his childhood friend Sudha (Rekha). He tells her about his relationship with Maya. These circumstances create difficulties in their married life. Eventually, Sudha leaves Mahinder and continues working as a teacher in another town. After many years they accidentally meet in a railway station waiting room and discover some truths about their lives without each other.
