Seth Dhanpat Rai Mehta ([[Sanjeev Kumar]]) is the country's most powerful smuggler who is surrounded by his fortress of power and money. His daughter Sonia ([[Poonam Dhillon]]) falls in love with Ravi Malhotra ([[Shashi Kapoor]]), a police officer and wants to marry him. Dhanpat Rai very soon realizes that his son Vikram ([[Randhir Kapoor]]) has also taken a path that goes against the one he travels. Vikram has been engaged to a pretty but poor girl Reshmi ([[Swaroop Sampat]]). Now the question begins to haunt Seth Dhanpat Rai - "What is more important: His children's happiness or what he is, i.e. power and money?" Dhanpat Rai's question is answered soon.
