==Background==<br />
<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
<br />
Rano ([[Hema Malini]]), a feisty woman, lives in a village with her drunkard husband, Trilok ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), and their two children. Her mother-in-law, Zinda ([[Dina Pathak]]), constantly berates her for her inadequate dowry, even years after her marriage. Only her father-in-law, Hazur Singh ([[A. K. Hangal]]), an old blind man, is kind towards her, but can do little. The only member of the family who can save her from the wrath of Trilok is her brother-in-law, Mangal ([[Rishi Kapoor]]). One night, Trilok drops a young girl left behind at the railway station to a nearby inn. The next morning when the girl is found raped, her brother kills Trilok in rage. After her husband is murdered, Rano is forced to marry her brother-in-law, Mangal, who is a good ten years younger than her. He abuses her the same way as her husband did in his frustration once after marrying her. Raji ([[Poonam Dhillon]]) a gypsy girl, plays Mangal's love interest.<br />
