Anandi has been a widow for several years, living all herself in a small village. One day out of the blue comes Arun Gupta, claiming to her relative, and literally begs her to come to live with him and his family in the city, which she does. Once in the city, she finds out that things are not the same as in the village, there is very little or no compassion, violence, gang-fights, and children being abused. She befriends one such abused child and attempts to bring him to the Gupta family, and she finds out that she is not welcome there anymore. She finds out that Arun had actually brought her to the city, not of pity, love or compassion, but for doing household duties, and baby-sitting, without any wages. She moves out and lives in a broken-down structure with the homeless child, hoping and waiting that someday, someone will actually come for her, and claim her as family.

ITS AN OLD HINDI MOVIE STARRING VINOD KHANNA AND SHATRUGHAN SINHA IN THE LEAD ROLE.IT PORTRAYS THE INDIAN SCENARIO IN THE EARLY 1970s WHEN EDUCATED YOUTHS WERE GETTING DISILLIUSONED BY THE POLITICAL PARTIES.THE EDUCATED YOUTHS HAD NO JOB WHILE THE UNEDUCATED HAD A JOB.THE ONLY OPTION LEFT WITH THEM WAS TO BECOME THE DEFENDERS OF THE POLITICIANS AND HELP THEM OUT WHENEVER THEY WANTED THEIR SERVICE,OF ANY KIND.EVEN VIOLENCE.THE BREAD EARNING YOUNGSTERS BECOME GANGSTERS AND START FIGHTING ON THE STREETS.THEY FIGHT IT OUT ON THE STREETS WITH EVERYTHING FOR VOTES AND FOR MONEY.THEY ARE THROWN OUT OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE EARNED THE TITLE OF EDUCATED ANTI-SOCIAL ELEMENTS,BESTOWED UPON THEM BY THE OLDER MEN WHO HAVE A SECURE JOB AND LOOKS DOWN UPON THEM AS THE DIRT OF THE SOCIETY.TWO EXCELLENT SONGS ARE THE HIGHLIGHTING FEATURE OF THIS MOVIE.BOTH THESE HEROES LATER ON GOES ON TO BECOME UNION HEALTH MINISTERS,IN REAL LIFE.
