Story

Sanam is a love story where Jogin (Dev Anand), a poor unemployed young man, comes across Sadhana (Suraiya) in a chance encounter in a book shop. Under desperate conditions, Jogin had to rob some money for his mother's treatment, but gets involved in an accidental homicide for which he is jailed by the court, where the Judge (K.N. Singh) is Sadhana's father. Sadhana is an independent-minded daughter and does not hesitate to argue with her father about social justice for the poor and underprivileged. The story takes many twists and turn with songs and a dance number. Eventually Jogin and Sadhana fall for each other, but their proposed marriage is vehemently opposed by the father of the bride.
