    Revenge drama

    Dimple and Raj are very good at their jobs and share great chemistry Rajiv is good eye candy and shines in his small role . Dimple is the cute daughter of veteran Madan Puri who works in a small role in Raj Babbar's office . She's already in love with Rajiv . Raj sees and fancies Dimple at the first glance . Madan Puri , unaware of his daughter's affections agrees to give her in marriage to him happily . Dimple refuses to marry him and reveals her love to her father and also Raj . In a few days , Rajiv mysteriously dies in a water accident . Dimple sees Raj's hand in this but is unable to prove his guilt . Raj comes back as her sympathiser and egged on by her father, she agrees to marry him. She becomes his dutiful wife and also keeps reminding him of his misdeeds . Confused, arrogant Raj tries his best to deceive and control her. Rajiv is not dead and returns back after a few months much to the joy of his mother Asha Parekh . In the mean time , a lot of twists and turns take place with Dimple still believing Rajiv is dead and finally during some confrontation , Raj is killed in a freak accident . Finally Rajiv and Dimple are united after much confusions and misunderstandings. Over all a fine movie . Dimple is beauty personified. She was on top in her 30s and shows her great figure in every frame be it sari or skirts or swimming costumes. Raj is super as the main villain . Madan Puri evokes a lot of sympathy as a small time worker in his office. Rajiv is chirpy and likeable . Wonder why he could not continue much further .Nice locales, songs, costumes ...

    Review from Movie Guide 2020.....

    "A beautifully filmed but an inept revenge saga which moderately grips after its interval apart a nice performance of Dimple Kapadia it offers;" as quoted in "Reviewing Hindi Cinema since 1945: Movie Guide 2020."
