== Plot ==<br />
<br />
Pramod Sharma ([[Vinod Khanna]]) is the son of a wealthy businessman ([[Murad (actor)|Murad]]). An idealistic person, he leaves his family business to become a lecturer of history at the college Adarsh Mahavidyalya. The students of the college are highly indisciplined, and the crowd includes Rakesh, a rowdy student involved in several unlawful activities. Pramod tries to reform these students. Rita ([[Bindu (actress)|Bindu]]), the college chairman's daughter and a student, develops an infatuation for Pramod.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Pramod meets Madhu ([[Tanuja]]), the daughter of the college principal H. P. Shastri (Abhi Bhattacharya). He learns that she was in love with Vijay, a pilot, and both were expected to marry soon. Unfortunately, Vijay's plane crashed and he died. The shock of this news lead to Madhu falling off the stairs, resulting in a permanent damage to her leg. Madhu falls in love with Pramod, who brings positivity to her life. He encourages her to follow up on her hobbies, especially painting, and go out more often. Rita, who is jealous of Pramod's relationship with Madhu, falsely accuses him of sexual harassment, supported by Rakesh. The rest of the story tells of how Pramod gets through this ''imtihan'' ("test") of life. In the end, Pramod proves his innocence and takes leave from the college, joined by Madhu.<br />
