Plot

The focus is on hero Raj (Amitabh Bhattacharya) and not so much on the two heroines Kasturi and Kanchana
Kanchana
Kanchana may refer to:* Unicorn-Kanchana* Kanchana - A Telugu and Tamil actress of 60s.* Kanchana , made in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu language versions * Kanchana Mala a glamorous Telugu film actress....

. Raj is a famous singer when the film opens. He falls in love with Maria, a Catholic nun-to-be and the two are engaged. Just before they tie the knot, Raj's friend Suman steps in stealthily with the intention of raping her. Kasturi jumps to her death and Raj loses his sanity.

The post-interval phase of the mental care home begins the second part of the story where the home's dictatorial proprietor's daughter Sanchita cures Raj. They fall in love and the two could have walked into the sunset with a good end to the film. But the director had other plans and his debut goes almost the Kyon Ki way.
