He attends college and has a sweetheart in wealthy Kamini Sinha, and both hope to get married someday. While Brijesh is actively involved in trying to force their oppressors (the British) to leave India, poetic Rajesh has no interest in politics. Things change when Brijesh gets killed and Rajesh decides to avenge his death by actively becoming involved with freedom fighters so much so that he quickly becomes a thorn on the Britisher's side and orders are issued to apprehend him - dead or alive. He even spurns Kamini, who ends up getting married to a man of her dad's choice. While on the run from the law, assisted by a Pathan truck-driver, Sher Khan, Rajesh finds shelter in the house of his childhood friend, newly-wed Superintendent of Police, Dheeraj Kumar - not knowing that he will soon be confronted by an embittered Kamini, who is the bride of Dheeraj; ...

A love triangle

Super Star Rajesh Khanna is in love with Mumtaaz and they go around singing great songs composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. However, due to family compulsions Rajesh Khanna joins the freedom fighters and is on the run. Mumtaaz gets married to Shashi Kapoor, an old friend of Rajesh Khanna and whilst on the run, Rajesh takes refuge in the house of Shashi Kapoor to find his old love there. Confusions come in the lives of these three and ultimately Rajesh Khanna gets killed by Mumtaaz. Great movie with very good music. The movie has excellent and great performance by Rajesh Khanna and he is ably supported by Shashi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna( in a small but dynamic role) and Mumtaaz. The songs of the movie are even hit today. A must see.
