The film explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and family values. The plot revolves around Ganga (Reena Roy), a young school teacher from a small village who falls in love with Suraj (Shashi Kapoor), a wealthy businessman. The couple gets married against the wishes of Suraj's father, who disapproves of Ganga's lower social status. However, their happiness is short-lived as a tragedy strikes them soon after their marriage.

Suraj's father dies in a car accident, leaving behind a debt-ridden business for Suraj to manage. Ganga, being the supportive wife, stands by her husband and helps him through this difficult phase.

The music by Kalyanji-Anandji is a highlight of the film, with songs like "Tumse Milkar Na Jaane Kyun" and "Suniye Kahiye Kahiye" still popular among audiences today. The beautiful cinematography captures the scenic locations of Rajasthan, where the story is set.
