Aadat Se Majboor

The film centers on Dinanath Shastri, a devoted Hindu firefighter played by Madan Puri. His son Shankar, portrayed by Mithun Chakraborty, brings home a girl named Salma, mistakenly believed to be Hindu, which sets off a series of dramatic events. As Dinanath recuperates from an accident, Salma takes on the role of caretaker, leading to unexpected emotional conflict within the household.

As the plot unfolds, Dinanath discovers that Salma is, in fact, Muslim, which complicates his views and family dynamics. The story also intertwines with the fate of Dr. Varma, a blind man played by Om Shivpuri, whose past connections and enmity with the wealthy Agnihotri, portrayed by Amrish Puri, bring further tension and danger. The film explores deep-rooted cultural and religious issues, making it a significant piece of cinema from its era.
