The movie is a powerful story of a person who wastes his life for the sake of a mentally unstable woman. The story is very sad and heart breaking, with an end worth watching. Actor Nasseruddin Shah and Rekha's convincing performances are admirable. The overall plot is this: Mahinder (Nasseruddin Shah) loves Maya (Anuradha Patel). She refuses to marry him because she doesn't believe in marriage. So Mahinder gets married to his childhood friend Sudha (Rekha). He tells her about his relationship with Maya.
