Plot
Rajesh Khanna is in love with Mumtaz in their college days. But Rajesh Khanna chooses to become revolutionary freedom fighter and abandons Mumtaz due to the fear that he might die during his struggle leaving her as a widow. The vicissitude of time, however, gets Mumtaz married to Shashi Kapoor, a police inspector, also a friend of Rajesh Khanna. Rajesh Khanna takes refuge at Shashi Kapoor's government quarter and encounters his past as he meets Mumtaz again. In series of developments, songs like Phool Aahista Pheko (throw the flower gently) and Prem Kahani Mein (in a love-story) are sung.
However, Shashi Kapoor gets to know of their past relationship. He is encountered with the challenge of believing the chastity of his marriage-relationship with Mumtaz or the doubt in his mind whether his trust has been broken while he was away from home on duty.
Rajesh Khanna takes the lead and gets himself killed by Mumtaz to convince him that Mumtaz indeed loved Shashi Kapoor and not him.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
