What happens

Sunehra Sansar is a 1975 Bollywood film directed by Adurthi Subba Rao. It stars Rajendra Kumar, with Mala Sinha as his wife, and Hema Malini as his past love, who has re-entered his life to seek vengeance for abandoning her years ago. The film is a remake of a Telugu film titled Pandanti Kapuram (1972). In the annals of Hindi cinema, this movie, though not a commercial success, is unique for three reasons. First, it features music by Naushad, collaborating for the first time with the lyricist Anand Bakshi. Secondly, this picture has for the only time Kishore Kumar singing a song (in a duet with Asha Bhosle), for which music was composed by Naushad. Thirdly, the movie has the leading lady Hema Malini playing a rare negative role. Hema Malini's role, like in 'Lal Patthar', has negative shades to it, though in both movies, the character played by her becomes positive in the end. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
