Deepti is a simple introvert village girl in Nepal. The daughter of a middle class painter . Suresh , a rich. Industrialist comes there to bag some deal, gets impressed by her and proposes marriage to his brother Akbar Khan . Both agree immediatly. Deepti comes to live with them in their palatial bungalow . Suresh is already married but is distant withh is wife who is an active socialite always with her friends playing cards or attending parties. Deepti finds it difficult to adjust as her husband uses her only for physical desires day after day . She is a good painter herself with an interst in fine arts like music or sitar .she tries to understand his business but he brushes her away saying they are not a woman's job . Squabbles keep taking place . She is reminded by him often about her lucky status to get married in this rich family . She often requests him to seperate from his brother family so that they bond togehter but he refuses each time . Suresh is aware of this but keeps himself away from their marital problems. His wife often advices Deepti to stay away from men's problems they can better handle it themselves. One big fight later Deepti moves to her maternal Nepal . Suresh goes to get her and they get intimate as both are unhappy with their spouses . Guilty, he leaves back quitely without her . Akbar is not aware of this till the end. He does come to take her back but she refuses . Deepti stays back and refuses to return to Akbar . She r tells him to marry a girl of his choice later . She delivers twins and till the end Akbar does not know that he has not sired them . A fine movie on marital discord . Suresh's wife gets her moment when she says that he does not stay with her long enough even to fight . All 4 are fighting their own demons . Akbar is perfect as the confused young husband and later repentent mature man . Those days 6 pack and a toned physique were absent , he has a good figure to match his impulsive desires and play boyish image .Deepti is fine as a middle class girl who is unable to adapt to her glamorous surroundings . She wears thick cotton sarees with closed neck blouses through out . Over all, a sensitive movie .
