Plot
[edit]While on a trip to Nainital, Geeta (Waheeda Rehman) meets Madan (Kamaljit) and falls in love with him. Madan is from Delhi and his father is a wealthy man. His mother played by Achla Sachdev is a superstitious woman who constantly gets poojas performed by pandits. Madan expresses his desire to marry Geeta and his parents agree to his request. But the family pandit studies Geeta's horoscope and reveals that she is a manglik and hence inauspicious. Being a manglik or having Mangal Dosha is considered unfortunate as per Indian astrology.

Music

Music in the film is by Khayyam with lyrics Sahir Ludhianvi. Album is considered among Khayyam's best work and also reason for him to have landed the Razia Sultan by Kamal Amrohi. Who, after failing to sign Laxmikant Pyarelal, remembered listening to the song "Parbaton Ke Pedon Par", along with his then wife Meena Kumari. Hence he approached and hired Khayyam for his movie Razia Sultan.
