The movie Agni Pareeksha was a crime and social film that revolved mostly around a man named Alok ( Amol Palekar ) who is the only son of his mother Mrs. Karona Ranjeet ( Veena ) who is a multi millionaire. Alok didn’t keep well over the years and was a mental patient but with the help and hard work of Dr. Sen ( Iftekhar ), he recovered. Karona and his brother ( Shekhar Kapur ) wanted that Alok should marry soon but they were warned by the Doctor that the girl should dissolve in his personality as the patients like Alok tend to become over possessive after marriage.

Meanwhile Alok goes to Bombay but to call him back home, Karona sends her new manager, Mr. Siddarth ( Parikshat Sahni ). Siddarth goes to Bombay and takes Alok back to town. Siddarth came across Meeta ( Rameshwari ) and liked her very much. Meeta is an orphan brought up by Mrs. Karona. Siddarth and Meeta fell in love with each other but the problem was that Alok also loved her very much and wanted to marry her which was not possible.

The songs of the movie are:
1.    Aaj koi nahin apna kise gham yeh sunaaye
2.    Mil gayi mujhe achaanak mujhe har khushi
3.    O o re man gun gun gun jhoom ke gaa re
4.    Pyaar hai pyaar aur kuchh nahin
