Deepak transforms into Gopal (Shashi Kapoor) and marries Sapna (Sharmila Tagore). Deepak has a sordid past which he does not share with Sapna. Deepak had been accused but acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife Vimala. Through much of the movie Sapna lives a life of suspicion, fear and unease. Gopal (Deepak) loves Sapna, but the barriers of suspicion and fear are hard to break through. While the story is unusual and interesting, acting of the principals is good, direction, development of the plot is poor. Keeping a finger on the FAST FORWARD button is a good precaution for when you come to the bits that (1) have little to add to the storyline or (2) just a waste of time. Regardless it is a good movie to watch.
