The coveted `Saraswati Award` for 1970 is presented to Dr. Bhaskar Bannerjee (Amitabh Bachchan) for his maiden work as a novelist. Bhaskar recieves high compliments for his portrayal of a most interesting and conventional character.

Whilst accepting the award, Bhaskar reveals that the character in his novel is not fictitious but is actually based in a real person named Anand Saigal. Anand(Rajesh Khanna) who was suffering from an incurable cancer called lymphocircoma, first came to Dr. Prakash Kulkarni (Ramesh Deo), a close friend of Bhaskar. Prakash tells Bhaskar about his reluctance to take Anand as his patient, but after meeting anand, he was astonished that a dying man could have such a wonderful zest for life and happiness.

Could such a man be aware of that, medically he was under a death sentence. Anand not only knew about his fate but was fully determined to enjoy every moment of the reminder of his life. He refused to wither away in a gloomy hospital room but rather chose to spend his last days in happiness with his friends.
