A mother's tears melt a frozen heart — but greed melts faster in the Himalayas.
After losing his two younger brothers on a mountain climbing expedition, Vijay swears to his sorrowing mother that he will never undertake any expedition again. When he hears of a plane crash deep in the mountains of the Himalays, he initially refuses to even consider going there to look for the survivors, but the tears of a mother, Geeta, whose two children were abroad that plane, moves him and his mother, and he agrees to look for the children, little knowing that others are on the way to the crash site, with different motives.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mallika Sarabhai, the celebrated dancer, rarely acted in films — this is one of her few dramatic roles, and she reportedly did her own stunts in the snow.
The film belongs to a mini-wave of 1970s Himalayan dramas that romanticized mountain climbing while India was establishing its own mountaineering institutions post-1965 war patriotism.
