Synopsis

Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) is found wounded on railway tracks and when he awakens he has no memory of who he is and doesn't remember anything about his life. Six years later, he is living with a wealthy couple who have adopted him as their son and is now named Naresh Dutt.

After yet another accident in his Naresh Dutt avatar, he begins to regain his memory of his wife Rekha Roy (Rekha). He finds out that she is now a very successful film actress, having changed her name to Sunita Devi and her manager is none other than Ranjit Mallik (Prem Chopra), who was once his best friend.

In flashbacks, he remembers that his real name is Amit Roy and Ranjit was the one who attempted to kill him six years earlier by throwing him off the train he was travelling on with Rekha. Amit also discovers that his young son who is now 10 years old has been sent to a boarding school and sets out a plan to regain custody of his son. First however, he plans on taking revenge against Ranjit. Amit comes up with a plan to re-enter Rekha and Ranjit's lives by disguising himself as a film producer. He meets with Rekha and Ranjit and offers Rekha the opportunity to act in his new film titled Raater Gaadi. Rekha and Ranjit grow suspicious of Naresh Dutt as they start to realise that he bears a striking resemblance to Rekha's supposedly deceased husband Amit Roy and the story line of his film eerily mirrors Rekha's past life. Ranjit attempts to kill Amit Roy but instead Amit manages to get him arrested.

In the end, Amit pretends to go back to Mumbai with his son, but instead comes back to Rekha's home with his parents. It is concluded that he forgave her halfheartedly and they got back together again.

Trivia
  • Amitabh's first film with Rekha
  • In the beginning of the film Amitabh Bachchan can be seen drinking and driving. He is listening to Ron Carter's song " Can't Give You Anything (But My Love) from the album Anything Goes. The instrumental song was a cover version of the song "I Can't Give You Anything ( But My Love) by The Stylistics (1975). Another version was Thomas Anders - Can't Give You Anything (But My Love) from the album Whispers (1991). The "J" Sisters did another cover version of the song.
  • The shehnai music playing during Amitabh's wedding night was later turned into the song "Tauba Kaisa Hain Nadaan Ghungroo" from the film Arpan (1983).
  • While Amitabh Bachchan is in the restaurant getting drunk watching a dancer, an instrumental cabaret version of Bing Crosby/ Perry Como song "Temptation" is played. The song was earlier sung by Usha Uthup in Bombay To Goa.
