Synopsis

The story is based on Seema, a short story penned by Gulzar. Seema was married to a theatre artiste named Sudhir. Sudhir was a humorless workaholic, and Seema felt ignored and dissatisfied. She fell in love with Sudhir's vivacious friend T.K., and left her husband to marry him. However, she had lingering feelings for Sudhir. One day, Seema learns that Sudhir is unwell and impulsively visits her old home. The story ends when Seema hears a lady's laughter with Sudhir and quietly leaves.

The music was by R. D. Burman, with lyrics by Gulzar.
