Although built on the eternal Bollywood theme of love, the film showcases an unconventional dynamic. The movie is a classic love triangle between a pop-star Ravi (played by Rishi Kapoor), Kajal (played by Divya Bharati) and Raja (played by Shah Rukh Khan). The story begins with an intense romance between Ravi and his partner Kajal, who are married. Ravi’s jealous uncle gets him killed and leaves Kajal crushed. The plot takes a twist with the start of a new love story between the widower Kajal and Raja who is a wealthy businessman. Upon pressure from Ravi’s mother, Kajal agrees to marry Raja. But the happy ending is ruined when Ravi mysteriously comes back to life.

The entire ensemble cast has given outstanding performances. The legendary Rishi Kapoor has performed admirably in this role. Shah Rukh Khan with his first major film role proved he is the long-shot favourite. He portrayed skills with admirable and compelling expressions and delivery. Divya Bharti shines as the movie’s heart and soul. Her performance is endearing and encapsulating.
