The film revolves around Pran (Raj Kapoor) a quietly intense poet for whom the only universal truth is love and his best friend Gopal (Premnath). A devil-may-care rolling stone rolling from one moment to another collecting nothing but his own personal enjoyment at any cost even that of a another`s heart. Both fall in love. Pran`s love is true and deep and pure for Reshma (Nargis). Gopal`s love on the other hand is nothing but a careless dalliance a passing fancy. Ultimately love conquers all and triumphs in life and even in death...
