Storyline


Sunil lives with his mom and sister in a middle-class dwelling in Delhi, India. He works for Chopra & Co., Chartered Accountants. He comes across a beautiful woman posing for a painting, and thinks she is poor and needy, and gives her a tip. The woman's name is Anita, and both are attracted to each other. Sunil and Anita intend to marry, and Sunil even introduces Anita to his mom. One day when attending a party, Sunil is shocked to learn that Anita is a multi-millionaire. Stunned at this deception, he swears he will have nothing to do with her. When Anita attempts to sooth things over, Sunil does cool down. It is then he finds out that Anita's dad, who is serving time, had killed his father, and that Anita mother is still alive, after making her living as a former prostitute.

I don't remember this movie much anymore; I watched it as a kid. However, the songs are immortal. Especially- "Na jaa kahin ab na jaa". Dharmendra and Sharmila were among the more attractive film stars of Bollywood back then. Or perhaps among the most attractive ever. Lata's 'Chalo Sajna Jahaan tak ghataa chale' is another timeless beauty. In my book, this is Laxmikant-Pyarelal's best musical. This was a period of changes for Bollywood. In less than a year, Hindi cinema was to witness the birth of new superstar in Rajesh Khanna. It would also mark the end of Md. Rafi's reign as the numero uno playback singer of Bollywood to be replaced by Kishore Kumar. That would mark the beginning of another golden era in Bollywood music, but that's got to be the topic of another discussionMere Hamdam Mere Dost - HindiGeetMala.net

    Lyrics of Hui Shaam Unakaa Kayaal Aa Gayaa - हुई शाम उन का ख़याल आ गया

    hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya, hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya
    vahi zindagi ka saval aa gaya, vahi zindagi ka saval aa gaya
    hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya, hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya

    abhi tak to hotho pe tha tabassum kaa ek silasila
    bahut shadama the ham unako bhulakar
    achanak ye kya ho gaya
    ki chehare pe rag-e-malal aa gaya
    ki chehare pe rag-e-malal aa gaya
    hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya, hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya

    hame to yahi tha gurur gam-e-yaar hai ham se dur
    vahi gam jise hamane kis-kis jatan se
    nikaala tha is dil se dur
    vo chalakar qayamat ki chal aa gaya
    vo chalakar qayamat ki chal aa gaya
    hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya, hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya
    vahi zindagi ka saval aa gaya, vahi zindagi ka saval aa gaya
    hui shaam un ka khayal aa gaya

    Lyrics of Hamne To Kiya Hai Pyar - हमने तो किया हैं प्यार

    tum jao kahi, tumko ikhtiyar, ham jaye kaha sajna
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar
    tum jao kahi, tumko ikhtiyar, ham jayen kaha sajna
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar

    wo chahna, hame subah o sham
    wo chahna, hame subah o sham, wo har nazar muhabbat ke nam
    bhula do bhula do, wo baten tamam, hame
    hamen yad hai har ikrar
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar

    munh dekhte har ilzam par
    munh dekhte har ilzam par, aise to ham nahi thhe magar
    badal di gayi jab tumhari nazar, jo
    jo chahe kaho dildar
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar

    mana tumhe nahi aitbar, mana tumhe nahi aitbar
    jhootha sahi dil e beqarar, kahan phenk de dard ki yadgar
    apna
    apna to yahi sansar
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar
    tum jao kahi, tumko ikhtiyar, ham jayen kahan sajna
    hamne to kiya hai pyar, hamne to kiya hai pyar

    Mere Hamdam Mere Dost (1968)

    mhmd_basking

    After the trauma of little Master Bunty’s plight in Aakhri Khat, I needed to bask in the manly warmth of Dharmendra’s strong arms and glorious Greek god looks. And Dharmendra is pretty much the only thing that got me through this nonsensical film (well, him and Sharmila’s and Mumtaz’s outfits). What a criminally stupid waste of a good cast. The story, such as it is, isn’t helped by incredibly choppy editing, which can probably be blamed on KMI since Hrishikesh Mukherjee edited the original film and I can’t imagine that he would have done such a hack job of it. Additionally, each character is totally infantile, lacking any kind of self-awareness or empathy for others; not to mention that none of them seem to have been taught that honesty is the best policy. Plus, they are all as dumb as rocks, seriously. It is pitifully easy for them to keep pulling the wool over each other’s eyes. By the end I felt like I had just spent two and half hours in a nursery school housed inside a mental institution.

    Ajit (Rehman) is the villain pulling the strings, although how or why we never come to know. All I understand is that his machinations at the beginning of the film cause a man named Vishwanath to be arrested for the murder of another man named Hariram. Vishwanath doesn’t appear to mind being incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit (?!) and he asks Ajit to please take good care of his vast business empire and his little daughter Anita. Hariram’s demise, meanwhile, is apparently enough reason for his young son Sunil to grow up hating all rich people.

    Thus, fifteen or so years on, when Anita and Sunil meet and fall in love, they are on shaky ground from the get-go. And although Anita (Sharmila Tagore) has grown up into a beautiful young women, and Sunil (Dharmendra) into a beautiful young man, Ajit hasn’t aged AT ALL. Not one iota. Frolicking with the devil does pay some dividends, apparently! Lucky for him too, I guess, since he now has designs to marry the girl he has brought up (ewwww) for her money.

    In any case, Sunil first lays eyes on lovely Anita posing for his friend Bharti, an artist (can anyone tell me who the actor playing Bharti is?).

    mhmd_pay

    He assumes that Bharti’s model is poverty-stricken, and slips her five rupees behind his friend’s back. Anita is charmed by this gesture; she is accustomed to men throwing themselves at her feet for the sake of her fortune.

    mhmd_kerchief

    Anita lives with guardian Ajit and her friend Meena (Mumtaz), who is the only person in the film with any brains at all. After Sunil gifts her a sari through Bharti, Anita begins to pursue him, pretending to be as poor as he thinks she is (although she’s not very good at it).

    mhmd_necklace

    Fortunately for her, Sunil is no brighter than she is. She introduces Meena to him as her landlady and pretends that she lives in her own garage. She continues to pursue him with a Shammi-like fervor, even when one day Sunil confesses to her:

    mhmd_moneyed

    Their romance is facile and coy and *almost* as deep as these two roses bobbing at each other symbolically.

    mhmd_romance

    They never actually seem to talk to each other (she doesn’t even ask him why he hates the moneyed!). It comes as no real surprise that when Sunil finally discovers that Anita is actually very wealthy, he’s angry.

    mhmd_game

    It’s a measure of how clueless all these people are when even Meena—the smart one, remember—doesn’t really get the problem.

    mhmd_mumtaz

    Uhhh…no. He’s mad because she lied to him. How do Anita and pals decide to fix things? They lie some more, and lure him to a party under false pretenses, and then shanghai him into getting engaged in front of a huge crowd of friends and family! How can that possibly go wrong?

    Well for one thing, a scheming Ajit recognizes Sunil’s mother (Achala Sachdev) as the wife of the man he had killed all those years ago (giving him all that dispensation on the aging front):

    mhmd_rehman

    For another, Sunil is even angrier:

    mhmd_song

    He sulks through Meena’s musical pleadings for him to forgive and forget—a very wonderful qawwali-type song, “Allah Yeh Ada.” The lyrics are hilarious, all about the stubborn traits of good-looking people. Love. In fact this middle part of the movie is the only part I truly enjoyed, and it was only for two songs and Dharmendra’s formidable talent for comedy.

    Sunil decides to take some revenge: he shows up for Anita’s next party carrying a black and white cat (which Sharmila drops on the floor) and dressed in a loud brocade jacket, hijacking the proceedings with his rude behavior and bad table manners. This traumatizes Anita and a battalion of bored and disapproving gora extras, but makes me giggle helplessly.

    His next trick is to bring a band of drunken louts over to Anita’s house, introducing them as his closest friends and leading them in a fabulous fake-pretend (at least on his part) drunk song, “Chhalkaaye Jaam.”

    Anita, dim-witted as she is, doesn’t understand what has happened to her shareef Sunil. Meena explains:

    Thank you, Meena! My point exactly! Anita makes yet another poor decision: to make Sunil jealous by flirting with her childhood friend Ramesh—who, as she well knows, is also Sunil’s sister’s fiance. Oh Anita. Now mad at Ramesh AND Anita, Sunil takes himself, his mother and his betrayed sister (and some little unidentified boy who lives with them—no idea who he is) off to live in Bombay.

    Anita follows him, still trying to get others—Meena and Om Prakash’s ridiculous character Dhand—to get him back for her. But eventually she gets it right with a pretty song (“Tum Jao Kahin”), and Sunil forgives her. It’s actually quite sweet, and I forgive them *a little bit* too.

    But I am exhausted by now, and Ajit hasn’t even begun his efforts to separate them yet. As it turns out, all those events from years before don’t make any more sense than all the events we’ve just been through. Apparently our present-day protagonists come by their stupidity honestly: none of their parents have any smarts either.

    Do look up Laxmikant Pyarelal’s songs on YouTube, though, they are nice. And I did get some good Garam Dharam basking in.

    Minor Spoiler (in case you still think you can sit through this): There is one bright spot in the story. When Sunil is told that Anita’s mother is a prostitute (I know), he doesn’t care! He still loves her and wants to marry her! Yay Sunil. But it’s a different thing altogether when he discovers that Anita’s father is his own father’s murderer. We are treated to some Dharmendra Nahiiiin! Face:

    Not a good look for anybody, really, is it? End Minor Spoiler.
