She is taken hostage by Teja (Dilip Kumar) because of a confusion that she is his sister. His sister, realizing that Teja would kill Sapna, lets her go, but Sapna doesn't reach back to her cottage. Would Rajesh ever be able to tell her he loved her; more importantly, is Sapna alive?
The soundtrack was composed by R. D. Burman and the credit for the lyrics goes for Majrooh Sultanpuri. The song "Kahin Karti Hogi" was an inspiration taken from "The Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert.Entire song is different but 'Mukhda' can be called inspired.
