Ravi gets married to the daughter of wealthy Jagannath. Despite being successful, Ravi never stops respecting Sheikhu who helped him during his tough time, which makes Jagannath unhappy.

There was a time when Late Yash Chopra used to promote his assistants my producing film for them and letting them direct and this is one such film. The film has some good actors such as Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Madan Puri and Raj Kiran whereas newcomer like Swaroop Sampat also featured in the film.

The plot of the film is average and we have seen many films on the plot, the execution of the film is average and nowhere the film has the potential to keep you engaged however there are few scenes which were shot nicely and looked impressive.

Acting in the film is decent to average with Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Madan Puri and Raj Kiran were impressive whereas Swaroop Sampat looked nervous and somewhat looked misfit. Bharat Kapoor also looked misfit as the son of Kulbhushan Kharbanda. Javed Khan Amrohi was also the part of the film in an important role but he has done such roles many times and was average.

The music of the songs are forgettable and apart from Tumhari Palkon ki none of the song was worth remembering. Screenplay of the film is average and the climax shows that the director was keen to finish the film early and hurriedly.

Overall an average one time watch.
