Vicky Kapoor Amitabh Bachchan, the only son of multimillionaire industrialist, Amarnath Pran, grows up to be an alcoholic, a spoilt brat but with a good heart.

Vicky is very resentful of being ignored by his dad in this unceremonious manner and leaves no stone unturned to mock and belittle him at every available opportunity. Amarnath hopes to get his son married, but Vicky loves Meena Jaya Prada, the daughter of a poor blind man, which is not acceptable to Amarnath. One day, Amarnath decides he has had enough and decides to turn Vicky out of his house. He has him sign waivers and asks him to get out, which Vicky happily does. While Vicky is relieved of being freed from his dads control, the question remains that with no skills at making a living, how is Vicky to survive in a coldhearted world? It celebrated platinum jubilee all over. The record sales touchedmillion marks and earned platinum disc for HMV.
