Raj Babbar, plays the role of Tony Wendice (Ray Milland), Dimple Kapadia of Margot (Grace Kelly), Suresh Oberoi of Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings), Sharat Saxena of Charles Alexander Swann (Anthony Dawson), and Danny Denzongpa of Inspector Hubbard. There are some notable differences though. While Mark Halliday in Dial M For Murder is a crime writer, Suresh Oberoi in its Hindi remake is a Ghazal singer. In the original film, in the end, when Tony Wendice realizes that he has been cornered, he accepts his crime gracefully, offering drinks to all around; in the Hindi remake, Raj Babbar attacks the police officer and everyone around, but is finally cornered.
Neha is the only daughter of wealthy and widowed Mr. Khanna, and he would like to see her married and well settled before he passes on. Neha is in love with Sagar, who is not prepared for marriage, so she marries the man of her dad's choice, a Tennis Player, Jaideep. Soon after her marriage, her dad passes away, and she finds that Jaideep does not love her anymore, and is, in fact, very abusive toward her. This leads her back to Sagar's arms, who is now a successful singer.
Then Neha notices a remarkable change in Jaideep's behavior, he abstains from alcohol, starts taking an interest in her dad's business, appears apologetic for his past abusive behavior, and adores her. Then her life turns upside down when she receives a letter from a blackmailer, asking her to pay up one Lakh Rupees or a love letter written to her by Sagar will be mailed to Jaideep. Neha delivers the money, but is unable to get the letter back. She confides about this to Sagar. One day while Sagar and Jaideep are out at a stag party, Neha's house is broken into, and a man named Vikramjit attempts to kill her, but instead ends up getting killed by her.
