Summary :
Kumar (Rajesh
Khanna), though of Indian origin, lives in Africa. He has recurring
dreams of a Railway Station in India called "Viran Nagar".
He decides to find for himself and travels to India along with his
friend, Rocky (I.S Johar). They are able to find Viran Nagar railway
station, which is exactly as Kumar had dreamed of. When they go to
find a ride, the locals shy away from them as behave as though they
have seen a ghost. They find temporary accommodations and set out to
discover the mystery behind Kumar's dreams. Then a young woman, Sapna
(Babita), meets with Kumar, tells him that she has been awaiting his
return, and now they can be together again. But Kumar has never been
to this place before, and ends up even more confused. Then another
local villager named Bansi tells them he had himself seen Kumar
getting killed and buried in the nearby forest. Kumar and Rocky must
now find out who was killed, and why the villagers believe that Kumar
has returned from the grave.
Kumar finds out the
truth from a mysterious man (Kamal Kapoor) who was a friend of
Kumar's long-lost identical twin brother Sunil that he had been there
before and was in love with Sapna. But Sapna's evil uncle Sarkar Nath
(D.K. Sapru) was against their love and hence planned to kill Kumar.
Kumar was attacked by Sarkar's henchmen and lost consciousness. At
the same time, Sunil and his friend arrived in Viran Nagar and found
Kumar unconscious. Sunil went to find help but was mistaken for Kumar
by Sarkar's henchmen and killed. It is then revealed that it was
Sunil who was killed and buried in the forest. As a result of his
head injury from the attack of Sarkar's men, Kumar had lost his
memory. Thus he began to have the recurring dreams when he returned
to Africa.
In the end Kumar
identifies the villains and defeats them. Kumar and Sapna live
happily ever after.

Quotes on the film :
Rajesh Khanna said
in an interview,"Though “Aakhri Khat” is my first film, I
received my first break as a leading actor in Ravindra Dave's, “Raaz”
in 1967. My heroine was Babita, already a popular actress then.
Though I had lots of confidence, I was shy in facing the camera
initially. In my first three shots, I had to perform with stress on
my body language and dialogue delivery. Though I was right with my
dialogues, my movements were not up to the mark. Ravindra Dave
explained me my scenes and movements very clearly correcting my way
of walking.Also it was based on double role and was a film much ahead
of its time. There are two Rajesh Khanna.
