Summary :

Middle-classed young and dashing, Rohit Kumar Saxena falls in love with wealthy and lovely Reshmi, and both decide to get married. Reshmi’s dad, the wealthy Diwan Sardarilal is strongly opposed to this marriage, but relents when Reshmi refuses to marry anyone else. As a result, Rohit and Reshmi get married. Shortly after their marriage, Reshmi gets pregnant, news that is very well received. Then Reshmi enters a beauty pageant, and wins it - being crowned Miss India, with offers to travel abroad. Reshmi decides that she does not want the child now, but Rohit opposes this decision. Both quarrel, and separate, and Reshmi goes back to live with her dad. Shortly thereafter, Sardarilal sends a legal notice to Rohit asking for a divorce. Devastated, Rohit seeks employment, and finds it as a station master at a remote hill station. He meets with Reshmi and her dad, and is humiliated because he is poor. He decides to accumulate enough money to win back Reshmi’s love, and decides to do it quickly. This decision results in his being arrested for stealing a suitcase full of jewelery and valuables, and he is also charged with killing the owner of the suitcase - a Miss Sonia. Looks like Rohit’s dream of getting back together with his wife will remain unfulfilled during this lifetime.

जैसे निकल आया घटा से चाँद

चेहरे पे ज़ुल्फ़ें, बिखरी हुई थीं

दिन में रात हो गई

एक अजनबी, हसीना से, यूँ मुलाकात, हो गई

फिर क्या हुआ, ये ना पूछो, कुछ ऐसी बात, हो गई

जान-ए-मन जान-ए-जिगर, होता मैं शायर अगर

सीने से लगा लूँ

आ छुपा लूं आ छूपा लूँ ) - २

दिल ने पुकारा देखो रुत का इशारा देखो

उफ़ ये नज़ारा देखो

कैसा लगता है, बोलो?

ऐसा लगता है कुछ हो जायेगा

मस्त पवन के ये झोकें सैंया देख रहे हो ओ

देख रहे हो

ऐसा लगता है

तुम बनके बादल मेरे बदन को भिगोके मुझे छेड़ रहे हो हो

छेड़ रहे हो

He decides to find for himself and travels to India along with his friend, Rocky (I.S Johar). They are able to find Viran Nagar railway station, which is exactly as Kumar had dreamed of. When they go to find a ride, the locals shy away from them as behave as though they have seen a ghost. They find temporary accommodations and set out to discover the mystery behind Kumar's dreams. Then a young woman, Sapna (Babita), meets with Kumar, tells him that she has been awaiting his return, and now they can be together again. But Kumar has never been to this place before, and ends up even more confused. Then another local villager named Bansi tells them he had himself seen Kumar getting killed and buried in the nearby forest. Kumar and Rocky must now find out who was killed, and why the villagers believe that Kumar has returned from the grave.
Kumar finds out the truth from a mysterious man (Kamal Kapoor) who was a friend of Kumar's long-lost identical twin brother Sunil that he had been there before and was in love with Sapna. But Sapna's evil uncle Sarkar Nath (D.K. Sapru) was against their love and hence planned to kill Kumar. Kumar was attacked by Sarkar's henchmen and lost consciousness. At the same time, Sunil and his friend arrived in Viran Nagar and found Kumar unconscious. Sunil went to find help but was mistaken for Kumar by Sarkar's henchmen and killed. It is then revealed that it was Sunil who was killed and buried in the forest. As a result of his head injury from the attack of Sarkar's men, Kumar had lost his memory. Thus he began to have the recurring dreams when he returned to Africa.

In the end Kumar identifies the villains and defeats them. Kumar and Sapna live happily ever after.

Quotes on the film :
Rajesh Khanna said in an interview,"Though “Aakhri Khat” is my first film, I received my first break as a leading actor in Ravindra Dave's, “Raaz” in 1967. My heroine was Babita, already a popular actress then. Though I had lots of confidence, I was shy in facing the camera initially. In my first three shots, I had to perform with stress on my body language and dialogue delivery. Though I was right with my dialogues, my movements were not up to the mark. Ravindra Dave explained me my scenes and movements very clearly correcting my way of walking.Also it was based on double role and was a film much ahead of its time. There are two Rajesh Khanna.
