The film tells the story of four children who are separated at a fair and unknowingly reunite years later when Geeta (Sadhana) meets Neeta (also Sadhana) in prison. Neeta has been wrongly accused of murder. Geeta is then caught up in a scheme to find the true killer, which leads her to her brother Johny's (Sunil Dutt) gang.
During the early 1970s, Sunil Dutt's career as an actor was at a stand-still. Geetaa Mera Naam brought him into the limelight again. The anti-hero was reborn after a long gap of films like Mother India and Mujhe Jeene Do. Sunil Dutt's performance of Johny was liked by the masses as he clearly stole the limelight. It was one of the best performances of his career.
The soundtrack was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and written by Rajendra Krishan. The song "Mujhe Maar Daalo" with non-lexical vocable of this film was used in the song "People" which features in American rapper J Dilla's album Donuts (2006).
