Ravi Kapoor ([[Rishi Kapoor]]) and his wife Anita are holidaying in [[Kathmandu]]. One night, Anita disappears suddenly. Ravi goes searching her everywhere but in vain. He then files a police report about her missing status, and Inspector Balbir ([[Naseeruddin Shah]]) begins the search for her. The next day, Ravi gets a call from Father Anthony ([[Danny Denzongpa]]) saying that his missing wife is with him in the church, but when Ravi meets her, he claims that the woman is not his wife.<br />
