Smita Patil , a dusky beauty with talents which could match only Shabana's , has pulled up this otherwise clichéd movie , with Rajesh Khanna's equally sensitive , underplayed , and adorable performance . Rakesh Roshan and Tina Munim fit the bill of adulterous partners , who deprive Nisha , a loving housewife , simple but with character , grace and a strong will power . Unable to bear the presence of her very own sister not only flirting with her husband , as well as father of her new-born baby , Nisha decides to leave the house ,in search of her own identity . The director should be appreciated for depicting the grooming of Nisha into Ashashri , with her hidden talents of anchoring , singing and writing flowering ,and establishing her as a successful writer ; She also becomes materially prosperous , while the wheel of destiny scoffs upon her erring husband , and brings him even lower than her status. Rajesh Khanna , acting as Alok , an admirer of Nisha , builds faith in her , loves her silently , and expresses it discreetly, only to be denied the acceptance by Nisha . This part of the script is not very easy to accept, as Nisha also likes him a lot , for his wit , his simple charms , and affectionate nature , as well as love for her daughter . Since Nisha thinks it might be too late to give it another try , she does not reciprocate , but is shown in two minds , when Alok walks away from her life , broken-hearted . Little baby Guddu is charming. Tina looks attractive enough to make a married man go astray ! Musical score is satisfactory , specially the lyrics are simple yet meaningful.
In Smita Patil's untimely death , Indian Film Industry lost a very unique actor , who gave us a number of path-breaking movies , which are practically the mile-stones , and raising pertinent social issues , like her Marathi movie Umbaratha , meaning threshold for instance . In her real life too, Smita fell in love with a married actor , who was no match to her fame and name , but she basked in the glory of her true love , and wore a Mangalsutra , for a Muslim husband ! Strange ! However , one must admit that Rajesh has stood up with her , and his expressive eyes speak volumes , and he has been also able to enact some scenes capably ,like slapping an audacious journalist etc. The message is loud and clear . Never say die , and do your thing , ladies , stand up on your own , and keep your dignity . It is remarkable that the story writer was not tempted to show the heroine opting for the oldest profession in the world , selling her body for a living , as the trend was eventually shifted to , in many such movies which came later , to show the helpless women becoming glamor dolls !
