[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In this film, Amitabh Bachchan plays a role similar to the one enacted by Shah Rukh Khan much later in Darr. Amitabh plays Kumar Sen, an artist. He is in love with Asha (Yogeeta Bali). However, she wins a trip to Ooty in a dance competition, and falls in love with the wealthy tea plantation owner, Rajesh (Navin Nischol). When Kumar finds out, he goes to Asha's uncle, Ashok Verma (Om Prakash), and demands Asha's hand in marriage. When Ashok fails to do so, Kumar kills Ashok, and sets up Rajesh in court for a case. Yogeeta promises Kumar to love him and stay with him forever, if he can release Rajesh from his death sentence. Amitabh writes down his confession, and in the end, gives it to Rajesh, and shoots himself.
