Dilip Roy [Rajesh Khanna] is a dedicated painter whose life with his wealthy wife, Sushma [Alka], seems comfortable on the surface but is edged with rising tension. During a quiet, immersive session of painting, Dilip’s wife interrupts, asking him to accompany her out. He refuses, and the moment sparks a heated clash: she destroys one of his canvases, amplifying the strain between them. In a burst of emotion, Dilip shoves her and warns that he would kill her, then walks away from the heated scene. When he returns, he discovers his wife dead, and the police arrive to arrest him, propelled by the testimony of Renu [Bindu Desai], his sister-in-law who shares their home.
