What it is about
Sunil lives with his mother and sister in a middle-class household in Delhi and works as an accountant at a firm. One day he meets Anita, a young woman who is posing for a painter, and the two are drawn to each other. They begin a relationship and plan to marry. However, an unexpected discovery about Anita's circumstances disrupts their plans and tests their bond.
How it was made
The film was directed by Amar Kumar and produced by Kewal Kumar under the Kawaljit Productions banner. The cast list credits Rajinder Singh Bedi with the screenplay, while another reference names Nirmal Kumari, so it cannot be confirmed with certainty who wrote it. The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, with lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore lead the cast, joined by Rehman, Mumtaz and Om Prakash.
