Summary :
The story begins in
the Central Jail, where a prisoner (Raza Murad) being hanged in the
morning is desperately bewailing his fate. His fears are soothed
somewhat by another inmate named Chetan (Rajesh Khanna) who tells him
that he is not dying but starting a new life elsewhere in a body free
from sin. The principle comforts the prisoner and jail inmate becomes
happy. Chetan has served a 10-year-long sentence for murder and is
about to be released early for good behavior. The Jailor (Murad) is
curious how such an obviously empathetic and honest man as Chetan has
proved to be could be a murderer as well, and he asks Chetan to
explain. Initially Chetan refuses gently but then starts disclosing
his past.
Chetan is a
penniless poet while Sunita is the daughter of a wealthy man (Kamal
Kapoor). Both are very much in love. Chetan’s close friend Bansi
(Gurnam Singh) thinks Chetan should use his education to get a job to
keep the creditors from his door, but Chetan wants to continue
writing books and develop his habit of writing stories with Sunita’s
full support. Sunita fears to talk before her father. Her rich father
has the reason for being a stubborn father too and that is that he
was a poor man and his wife had died because he could not afford
proper medical facilities for her only because he could not afford
them and this has made him more ambitious in life. So Sunita's father
has throughout his life concentrated more on building his house and
earning more money for a secure future but all this at the cost of a
complete disconnect personally between him and Sunita.
Sunita’s father
decides to get her married off to a man named Gopal (Dheeraj Kumar),
a doctor. Gopal and his mother (Sulochana Latkar) meet Sunita in her
house for the first time and they like her. Her dad decides to
announce their engagement at the birthday party. Meanwhile Sunita
urges Chetan to ask her hand to her father on her birthday and she
invites him for that party.At the party her father is rude to Chetan
and then announces her engagement to Gopal — she swallows her anger
in order to maintain a good front before the guests, but later goes
in search of Chetan at his home.
Sunita tells Chetan
that they should elope and go far away from her parents and live a
separate world of theirs. Chetan says why should they elope instead
they should go together to her father and tell him that they want to
get married to each other and that Chetan will take care of Sunita.
Sunita does agree with him but tells Chetan that this idea of his
won't help as her father may attack or kill Chetan. To this Chetan
replies that its completely unethical to run away from problem and in
this case from her father as it would bring dishonour to Sunita and
even to their own love story. Chetan promises that if her father
refuses to give his permission they will get married anyway.So Chetan
advices her to go back home and that Chetan would marry her after
trying to convince her father. Chetan points out that society will
disapprove and she might regret it someday. To this Sunita declares
that Chetan is a coward and a selfish person who does not want to
share a bit of sorrow that her parents did not approve of their
relation and take a risk by running away and start a life together,
when she left her wealth and family and came to him. Sunita says she
did not think of anything except her love for Chetan and came running
with her belongings to Chetan's house. That shows she is selfless in
this love affair. So by this logic she tells Chetan that she would
now marry Gopal only as Chetan has belittled their love and her
ability to make choice.
Sunita marries Gopal
and they live happily but one day she discloses her husband that she
was in love with a person in her college days. Gopal gets angry and
hurt so starts drinking wine and confides his problem to a friend in
bar Mahinder and goes off to England for years to further his medical
studies, abandoning Sunita to bring up their son Munna (Master Tito)
and take care of his mother.
Chetan meanwhile
channels his despair into writing and becomes critically renowned and
popular; one of his biggest fans is Sunita’s mother-in-law. His
greatest work is a novel called Tyaag—the story of his romance with
Sunita. Five years pass after Sunita's marriage and Gopal decides to
return to India as he by now realises that Sunita is a good mother
and a good daughter-in-law and so decides to mend their marriage
life.
Sunit's child then
runs away from home in search of his father and boards a train. There
he meets a passenger and he turns out to be Chetan. Chetan realises
that the child is innocent and decides to lodge a police complaint.
On this child being smart and hyperactive decides to run away from
him. But Chetan catches him and promises him to take him to England.
Munna agrees to go home now provided Chetan takes him home.
Sunita gets angry on
seeing Chetan. She tries her best to throw him out of her life. Rest
of the story is about the dilemma which Sunita faces.
