Shreemaan Aashique

Professor Vishwa Mitra, the founder of a group that dissuades marriages, and his follower fall in love with the same girl, Shaku. Durshan persuades Vishwa to take the right decision and marry Bindu. Kalidas and Suman Mehra would like their only son to be like any young man: have fun, mingle, stay late nights, and have a girlfriend. But Dushyant Kumar is different: he is pious, worships a lot, goes to bed by 8PM, and is up at 4AM to begin his day by prayers, abstains from all vices, especially women. Dushyant is influenced by a heartbroken Professor Vishwamitra, who failed in his love relationship with Gayetridevi, and as such has organized several male youths and made them take a vow of celibacy. Kalidas sends his son to Mannali, where he meets a young woman by the name of Shakuntala (Shaku), and they fall in love. When he returns home, he intends to introduce Shaku to his parents, seek their blessings, and get married, but finds his life in turmoil when he sees Vishwamitra romancing Shaku. When Vishwamitra finds out that Shaku is interested in Dushyant, he takes a vow to create misunderstandings between the two lovers and thus marry Shaku. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
