This fiery romantic drama follows the challenges faced by Reshma and Shera, who love each other in the midst of a violent feudal conflict between their clans. When their families find out about their relationship, Chotu, Shera's sharp shooting kid brother carries out his father's orders to kill Reshma's father and her recently married brother.
This mindless act of violence brings forth a new cycle of animosity and conflict. Shera vows to avenge the death of Reshma's family members by eliminating Chotu, but this will only cause the cycle of violence to spiral out of control. With the wish to protect Shera from further pain and to end the cycle of violence Reshma makes a bold move. Will her sacrifice be enough to restore peace between the warring clans?

Trivia:
The film was shot in the Rajasthan desert for months, during which the entire cast and crew had to be put up in tents.
Amitabh Bachchan was new to the industry at the time and was seeking film roles. He approached Sunil Dutt's wife Nargis who decided to give him a chance and suggested his name to her husband.
Amitabh Bachchan plays a mute in the movie, which is ironic considering he became famous for his voice.
