On receiving a telegram from his wife, Davendra (Dilip Kumar) hastily drives down to the station to receive her. Due to a heavy rains and a landslide he is forced to take shelter in an abandoned palace along with his doctor friend.

Inside the palace, Davendra begins to think that he has been there before. He talks of a picture on the wall and the old keeper affirms there was one…The doctor ascribes it all to the worried mind of Davendra. But, no…a painting supposedly made by Davendra turns out to be exactly at the place where he had left it.

Yes, he had come here before, but not as Davendra but as Anand, a Managar on the Estate - But this was in his previous life. While sketching one day Anand came across Madhumati (Vyjayantimala) the daughter of Pahan, the banished "King" of the hill folks.

Anand & Madhumati's love is a tale that spans not just a point in time - It spans over to their next lives.
