But on the day of the wedding, the girl ran away and broke his heart. A friend of Kamal tells her that he was happy when his marriage was arranged to a girl called Madhavi. Kamal is going through the blues and Madhavi wonders why this is so. Madhavi aka Poonam endears herself to her new family and meets Kamal ( Rajesh Khanna), a former close friend of Poonam’s late husband. I am sure that this cut a significant part of the production budget that is spent on the film heroine’s clothes and the director must have been quite happy about it. This means that Madhavi wears only a white sari throughout the rest of the film. Poonam dies and Madhavi is forced to carry out this plan. To do this properly, Madhavi must pretend that she is Poonam and go to her in-laws’ house. Aware that she is about to die, Poonam makes Madhavi promise that she will look after Shekhar for her. There is a big train accident and Poonam is seriously hurt while Madhavi and Shekhar manage to escape with a few scratches. Madhavi reluctantly says yes to this idea and goes along with Poonam on the train. Poonam’s plan is that Madhavi can pretend to be her sister and this way they can stay together (her in-laws obviously don’t know very much about their bahu then!). Recognising that Madhavi has no real place to go, Poonam invites her to go along with her. They have never met because Poonam and her husband had married against everybody’s wishes. Poonam is now on her way to meet her in-laws who have invited her over. Once a happily-married woman, she is now a grieving widow and her only khushi is her baby son, Shekhar. Poonam, too, has not had an easy time of it lately. At the rail station, she meets a dear old friend, Poonam. She discovers that her father has died of a heart attack.Īll alone (she has no other family), Madhavi prepares to leave town. But Madhavi’s trauma does not end there.
By this time, it is too late… The wedding has been cancelled, the guests have gone home and the rejected groom and his family have left in a huff. Having seen him for who he truly is, a depressed Madhavi goes back and sneaks back into her home. When she lands at Kailash’s house, she catches him in the act with his girlfriend. Madhavi disobeys her common sense and escapes from the wedding. On the day Madhavi is due to get married, Kailash is busy engaging in a little hanky-panky with Shabnam (“ Pyar se mujhe log kehte hain Shabbo, ha ha!â€), played by Bindu. And how do we know that? Well, he is played by none other than the sneering Prem Chopra. On the day of her wedding, Madhavi receives an emotional letter from her lover, Kailash telling her how he cannot live without her.
