Low-budget, songless suspense drama in which the hero Dilip Roy (Khanna), accused of having murdered his wife and pronounced mentally insane, escapes from an asylum and finds refuge in the house of a young but married woman. He sees the corpse of her husband in the bathroom, but it disappears. Shot mainly on sets, the taut editing keeps the whodunit plot enigmatic until the ending resolves the suspense. It is one of Khanna’s pre-Aradhana (1969) hits. Apparently, he appeared unshaven in Raj Khosla’s Do Raaste (1969) because he had to be unshaven for Ittefaq and was shooting the two films simultaneously.
