The plot of Damini

When Damini gets married to Shekhar Gupta, played by Rishi Kapoor, a wealthy businessman she moves into his huge mansion where she would live a life of luxury. On the auspicious occasion of Holi, she catches Shekhar's brother Rakesh, played by Ashwin Kaul, sexually assaulting a young maid and quickly informs her husband. Before Shekhar can reach the crime scene, the accused flees from there.

The entire Gupta family decides to hide the incident to avoid letting society know about the shameful crime committed by one of their sons. Damini decides against this and reports the incident to the police. As soon as the matter is taken in court, Damini, the witness, is shown as a mentally unstable person. Soon, Damini is sentenced to spend two weeks in a mental asylum. 

When she's unable to bear all the torture inflicted on her in the institution, she decides to escape. In her attempt to run away, she stumbles into Govind Srivastava, an alcoholic. He defends and saves her from the goons trying to capture her. Damini learns that Govind is actually a lawyer and persuades him to fight her case. The alcoholic lawyer agrees and reopens the case in court. When the assaulted young maid succumbs to her injuries at the hospital, the police declares her, dead by suicide. Govind proves otherwise and ends up winning the case.
