Summary :

Kishan (Rajesh Khanna) and Shanti (Raakhee) are a happily married couple, though they have no children. Kishan's simpleton step-brother, Shambhu (Amol Palekar), lives with them and Shanti showers all her maternal feelings on him. Jagan (Prem Chopra), an evil good-for-nothing man, is heavily in debt to Kishan and is also a rejected suitor of Shanti. He decides to ruin the happy family. He plies Shambhu with liquor, makes him commit various crimes and even poisons Kishan's mind by suggesting that Shanti's feelings for Shambhu go beyond merely being maternal. Kishan falls into the trap and decides to divorce Shanti and marry Jagan's sister Tulsi (Rekha)
