Zindagi Aur Maut-Life & death, two common phenomena associated with all living beings. But when the calamity is embracing the whole nation, it is not just of few individuals who die but thousands, lakhs and even millions. It is to avoid such disasters that hand-picked, super courageous, intelligent men work round-the-clock to uncover plots, treacheries, espionage that is the core and substance of this story as a gang of spies tries to remove from this country a microfilm on which are recorded some of our top army secrets which in enemy's hands would spell tremendous danger in case of an armed conflict. Two brave intelligence officers Ashok (Pradeep Kumar) and Mirza (Anwar Hussein) are deputed to track down the gang and recover the microfilm. The adventures they go through are gruesome before they bring the entire gang and their leader Roy played by N.A. Ansari to book. Johnny Walker as the benevolent collaborator with the secret service officers gives a new comedy twist to the suspense. Faryal an innocent victim of the spy makes a lovely foil for Pradeep Kumar and Neelofer as always is the ideal mall girl, but "Zindagi Aur Maut" has all breathless moments of suspense and terror that are inseparable from all hair raising Espionage Dramas.

Anand Narayan comes from a poor family, which consists of his wife, Gayatri, daughter, Kamla and two sons Madhu and Govind. Through hard work, Anand starts on his way to success. He meets with Nekiram, who becomes his business partner and also his samdhi (in-law) as his daughter is in love with Madhu. Both get married in a simple ceremony. After this marriage, both Nekiram and Anand and his family work hard at preparing food in a small sweet shop. Lord Krishna then appears to Anand who asks the Lord for material success. After this meeting Anand's Dhaba grows into a restaurant, then a larger fancier restaurant, finally a five star hotel. Now Anand and his family are all wealthy and live in a palatial home. Bhagwan Shri Krishna regularly visits him and asks about him and his family. Anand proudly takes all the credit and asks Krishna to accompany him to see his success and his hotel. Bhagwan Krishna declines, but agrees to do so later. Things don't go quite as well for Anand, when he finds out that Nekiram has been cheating him. Nekiram leaves the house, but Madhu accompanies him. Then Anand finds that Govind has been squandering money and time on women and alcohol and to top his disappointment Kamla gets pregnant. When Bhagwan Krishna comes to visit Anand again, he admits that he is a failure, his health is poor, and his family are all strangers to him. Lord Krishna advises Anand that this is his life and he must learn from the Mahabharata and that every life is a struggle, which is confused by relations and near and dear ones and also by one's ego. Once the ego is removed, then only one can see clearly. But will Anand be able to understand and carry out what Lord Krishna is asking him to? Or will end up taking the blame, like he took the credit, upon himself?
