The main character in the movie is Sharmila Tagore who is ably supported by Rajesh Khanna, Ashok Kumar & Feroz Khan. Sharmila Tagore despite being a highly educated doctor has been portrayed as a bimbo who cannot take any proper decisions in her life. Rajesh Khanna who earlier is a patient of her's becomes her well wisher, both like each other so much but don't go further, even Love is not clearly defined in the movie if they harbor any matrimonial aspirations. Rajesh Khanna was a new comer in 1970 when this film was made & he did justice with his emotions.
The motive of Sharmila is unknown throughout the movie, at first as a cancer doctor she does not detect Rajesh Khanna's blood cancer even after treating him, second she becomes fond of her husband (Feroz Khan) younger brother only to later disown him, then she is unsupportive of her husband, she doesn't even take interest what is going on in her house when her husband is badly reeling in debts. She is shown more interested in discussing household matters with Rajesh Khanna & every time her husband picks her up from Rajesh's house.
Rajesh Khanna must have earned some applause for dying in the end, this became a successful formula for many of his later hit movies, playing with emotions & dying in the end to earn sympathy from the audience.
