Main Tere Liye
In 1989, Goldie wrote and directed Main Tere Liye which had Suneil Anand, Meenakshi Seshadri, Rajendra Kumar, Asha Parekh, and many others. In the initial scenes , Rinku, a rich heiress played by Meenakshi Seshadri, is shown to be crazily in love with a guitar player Vikas( Suneil Anand) , but her mother , played by Shashikala, and three brothers played by Gulshan Grover, Puneet Issar, and Sudhir harass the lovebirds. Rinku runs away from home to get married to Vikas but her relatives attack Vikas's house and kill his father( Sudhir Dalvi). Shiva ( Rajendra Kumar), who is hero's uncle, enters the scene at this stage and motivates the hero to avenge his father's death. He tells the true story of Rinku and her relatives which begins with Shiva's friend Ajit Saxena( Marc Zuber) a very rich merchant navy tycoon whose wife Anjana, played by Shashikala, is unfaithful to him as she is having an affair with Makkad (Om Shivpuri) who is the real father of her three sons.When Ajit Saxena falls ill, he is nursed by the character played by Asha Parekh who has a three year old daughter Rinku.Since Saxena is disgusted with his unfaithful wife , he makes Rinku,the three year old daughter of the nurse , as his sole successor on her attaining the age of eighteen. Anjana and Makkad conspire to kill Ajit Saxena , and frame Rajendra Kumar and Asha Parekh as culprits who are then sentenced to fifteen year imprisonment. Anjana adopts Rinku as her daughter so that she, her boyfriend Makkad, and their three sons can enjoy Rinku's wealth. Things change when the heroine turns eighteen and falls in love with the hero Vikas. At this stage, Asha Parekh comes out of the prison after having served her sentence and is looking for her daughter while Rajendra Kumar trains Vikas ( Suneil Anand) to be a tough guy who would fix all the villains and get his girl. I liked Suneil Anand's performance, particularly in the fight scenes as he is well trained in the martial arts. The kick-boxing fight scenes filmed on Suneil Anand and Puneet Issar are absolutely amazing. Suneil Anand , in action scenes, could easily do what Tiger Shroff is doing today. He also fared well in the romantic scenes and dance numbers - particularly the number 'Wada Nibha Do'. Meenakshi Seshadri looks very beautiful and a perfect match to the handsome hero Suneil Anand who was in his prime at that time. Among the character actors, Rajendra Kumar and Marc Zuber acted very well but there wasn't much scope for Asha Parekh as her role was very small. It was a delight to watch the old time comic actors like Bhagwan Dada ,Birbal, Junior Mehmood, and Mustaq Merchant who constituted the team of musicians with the hero Suneil Anand. Among the bad guys, Om Shivpuri doesn't look menacing enough to be the main villain, and certainly not romantic enough to father three sons from Shashikala. Moreover, there absolutely was no need to have three villainous sons- played by Gulshan Grover, Puneet Issar, and Sudhir- only one son would have been enough. Shasikala is her usual self in this movie except that , through out the movie,she ties a scarf around her neck, maybe to conceal the wrinkles. Interestingly,she was in Nau Do Gyarah- the first movie directed by Goldie, and also in Main Tere Liye- the last movie directed and released by Goldie. The viewers also got to see Iftekhar who was in almost all Goldie movies from Teesri Manzil onwards, and the character played by Iftekhar in Main Tere Liye is also named Mehta as it was in Johny Mera Naam but in this movie he is a lawyer and not a policeman. Bappie Lahiri composed some beautiful songs which were written by Goldie and Neeraj. Finally, like many other Goldie movies, this one was also a crime caper with extensive outdoor locations on a hill station. In fact, the story moves frequently from Nainitaal to Mumbai and vice versa. Highly recommended.
