Najma (Smita Patil) lives in Mumbai as the mistress of Akhtar (Bharat Kapoor) whose promises of marriage remain unfulfilled. A middle-aged Dubai-returned acquaintance of Akhtar, Shakar Ali Khan (B.L. Chopra) comes to Mumbai to find himself a young, virgin bride. He convinces the pair to take him to Hyderabad, Najma’s hometown, for this purpose. Convinced that Khan would make him rich, Akhtar persuades Najma to accompany them. But this fateful marriage not only breaks up an innocent couple but also leads the bride to commit suicide.
