The film is directed by Sai Paranjpye and produced by Gul Anand and his sister Jayshree Anand – Makhija. The film is about three students; Siddharth (Farooq Shaikh), Omi (Rakesh Bedi) and Jai (Ravi Baswani) at Delhi University, who don't go home during summer vacation and how a girl Neha (Deepti Naval) comes into their lives. The remake version directed by David Dhawan and the original digitally restored film were both released on 5 April 2013.^[1] The lyrics written by Indu Jain were composed by Raj Kamal and sung by Yesudas and Hemanti Shukla.

Plot

Siddharth Parashar (Farooq Sheikh), Omi Sharma (Rakesh Bedi) and Jomo Lakhanpal (Ravi Baswani) are close friends and roommates who are studying at Delhi University. Siddharth has completed M.A. in Economics and is preparing for PhD. While Siddharth is a studious boy who loves to spend most of his time with books, his friends Omi and Jomo are mostly busy chasing girls. The only thing common among the three of them is smoking. One day, Omi and Jomo spot a girl named Neha Rajan (Deepti Naval) from their balcony and try to impress her by their tricks. However, both of them give up after experiencing shameful events. After some days, Neha visits their flat as the salesgirl of Chamko washing powder. Omi and Jomo quickly hide as soon as they spot her from the peep hole. Siddharth meets Neha for the first time and soon a love story begins. However, when Omi and Jomo discover their relationship, they decide to plot something to end their relationship and also to seek revenge to the embarrassment inflicted upon them by the girl. Initially, they succeed in separating Siddharth and Neha, but later on repent when they realise that Siddharth has started losing his interest in work and study and is most likely to end his life as well. Finally, they decide to reunite both the lovers. As a spate of kidnapping (especially of young girls) has started in Delhi, Omi and Jomo plan a fake kidnapping of Neha along with her grandmother (Leela Mishra) where Siddharth will rescue her. Unfortunately, she is kidnapped by the real gang and the duo is left in the lurch.
