 Raja (Rajesh Khanna) was adopted by a criminal don (Ashoke Kumar) at a very young age. After the death of the don, Raja inherits the property, and refrains from crime. However, the wealth and the power associated with it, has made Raja very arrogant. He desires Radha (Shabana Azmi), who is the daughter of his servant Ramukaka (A.K. Hangal). Raja asks permission from Ramukaka to marry his daughter, Ramukaka accepts, but Radha refuses. She loves Kishan (Vinod). Raja finds out that Radha is meeting with Kishan on the sly, and complains to Ramukaka, who stops their meeting. Then Raja finds out a secret from Kishan s past and does an about turn. He meets with Kishan, hires him, and even arranges a lavish marriage for Kishan with Radha. Kishan is indebted to Raja. Raja entrusts him with more important and responsible work, which must get Kishan to travel a lot. Kishan eventually finds out the real reason for Raja s kindness. Was it that Raja wants Kishan out of the way so he can be near Radha, or there is another reason?
