Constable (Viju Khote) is after Hari and Giri as both have escaped from a mental asylum. Navratan (Rajesh Puri) Is brigadier's house servant. Roma (Roma Manik) is his daughter. Brigadier meets Boss # 2 secretly and passes him maps in exchange for money. Giri and Hari have been tracking him for 3 months but have no evidence against him yet. So, the duo decides to start tracking Roma instead. Kandhanath (Rajendranath Malhotra) runs a shop for supplies for last rites. His son is Vijay (Farooq Shaikh). Vijay doesn't want to join his dad's business. Vijay and Roma are dating each other secretly. Brigadier has a personal bodyguard by the name of Chus Lee. Brigadier knows that Roma is in love and asks her to invite Vijay for dinner. His plan is to have Vijay fight Chus Lee, in which Vijay is sure to be beaten up badly. Roma convinces Vijay to fight Chus Lee as she plans to drug him with Navratan's help. The plan works, as after a little while (during which Vijay takes a beating), the drugs take effect and Vijay is able to beat Chus Lee easily. Now Brigadier wants to meet Vijay's father to fix the wedding, but Vijay is embarrassed with his dad and wants to avoid bringing them together. So, together Vijay and Roma decide to dress up Vijay as his own dad. Vijay is very nervous to meet Brigadier and tries to run away. But Roma stops Vijay and Navratan offers him a drink, after which Vijay gets overconfident and goes back in the house to meet Brigadier. Brigadier wants Vijay to stay in his house as a house husband. when Kandhanath reaches the Brigadier's house, Hari and Giri had stolen his clothes and Brigadier doesn't believe him and thinks Kandhanath is an escaped mental patient. When Vijay comes out, Hari and Giri take his photo while he is removing his makeup, as proof that Vijay told lies to Brigadier. Hari and Giri want Vijay to spy on Brigadier on their behalf, by being his house husband. As Vijay gets married to Roma, Kandhanath has no clue. When he finds out via neighbors, he tries to go to the hotel to disrupt the weeding. But he is deterred by Hari and Giri. Finally, Kandhanath reaches the Mandap, but Vijay had anticipated this, and Hari had replaced him in the Mandap. His face was covered with flowers and hence nobody noticed, while Vijay appeared in front of Brigadier as his own dad. Kandhanath looks at Hari and realizes that's not Vijay. After Kandhanath leaves, Vijay switches place with Hari (after exchanging clothes in the bathroom) VIjay and Roma are about to on their honeymoon. Navratan loses the suitcase which gets mixed up with the same style suitcase that Brigadier was taking to meet Boss # 2. Roma and Vijay get Brigadier's suitcase, which is full of toffees. They eat some and end up stoned. Meanwhile Boss # 2 is angry with Brigadier for not bringing the drugged toffees. He escalates the matter to Boss # 1 (Anupam Kher), who wants to meet Brigadier. A few days later, at a hotel, Vijay finds Brigadier delivery a package to Boss # 2. He follows Brigadier, who notices Vijay following him and hides inside a hotel room. The hotel room belongs to Film actress Kalpana who was hiding there from her producer, who wants to shoot her scenes in skimpy clothes, which she is resisting. Brigadier was hiding in a closet, while Kalpana was in the bathroom. Vijay comes in and finds Kalpana in the room. Vijay also hides in the closet and finds Brigadier there. Eventually Vijay is caught there and has to admit the truth to Roma, that Hari and Giri have forced him to spy on brigadier. Roma advises Vijay to plant a bomb under Hari and Giri to incapacitate them and get them off their backs. The plan works as they both land in the hospital. They try to tell Vijay that Brigadier is a traitor. Vijay overhears Brigadier fixing a meeting with Boss # 1 on the phone and decides to follow him. Hari and Giri also escape from the hospital and capture Roma. Brigadier has promised secret military installation plans in exchange for large amounts of cash. As Brigadier decides to hand over the plans, Vijay intervenes and takes the plans and tries to escape but is captured. Brigadier refuses to identify Vijay, even though he insists that Brigadier is his father-in-law. Boss # 1 calls Brigadier's home and finds Roma (under custody of Hari and Giri) and asks her to come to his lair. Brigadier refuses to identify Roma as well. Kandhanath arrives at Roma's house and finds the lair address written in lipstick on a mirror and decides to go there. As Boss # 1 prepares to kill everyone, Kandhanath arrives and frees Vijay, and the usual melee ensues. At the end, the police arrive and reveals that Brigadier is on an undercover mission to expose Boss number 1 (Anupam Kher) who is a terrorist.

Aarti Verma (Smita Patil) is an educated girl living with her young brother Sanjay Verma (Alankar Joshi) and her mother. She joins as the personal secretary to Jolly (Shakti Kapoor). Meanwhile, Vijay (Raj Babbar) develops a desire that he should marry Aarti, although he does not propose to her directly. One day Vijay finds that Aarti's brother is a drug addict and promptly informs Aarti. She convinces her brother to join the army so that he becomes a disciplined person in his life. After a few days Jolly tries to rape Aarti and Vijay comes to the rescue.

The story begins with a happy lower-middle-class family - Arun Verma (Anil Kapoor) an 8-year-old boy, his sister Komal Verma (Khushboo) a 5-year-old girl, his mother (Nutan) and his father Deepak (Girish Karnad) - living a peaceful life. Arun's parents teach their children through the famous title song "Zindagi Har Kadam Ek Nayi Jung Hai, Jeet Jayenge Hum, Jeet Jayenge Hum Tu Agar Sang Hai" which means that life is full of challenges at every step and still we will overcome all these if we are together. Arun's father is trapped in a murder case, for murdering a rich philanthropist Mr Oberoi, who refused to support his plan to start a music academy. A famous criminal lawyer G. D. Thakral (Amrish Puri) proves him guilty (with a false testimony of Oberoi's neighbor who gives a narration of happened on the night of the murder), and he is sentenced to be hanged by the court. Pleas by Arun's mother fail to convince Thakral to be truthful and spare her husband. Thakral asks her to give evidence for his innocence, to which she sadly quotes, "Jiske Paas Koi Sabut, Koi Gavah Nahi Hote Kya We Begunah Nahin Hote" ("one who does not have any proof or witness of innocence, are they not innocent?"). Thakral was determined to let her husband hang as this would get him lots of publicity (plus he was paid Rs 5 Lakhs by Oberoi's younger brother, who wanted control over his wealth). That night Oberoi's brother tries to kills the witness, lest he changes his testimony. The injured witness reaches the temple where Deepak's wife was sitting, desolate, and tells her that Deepak is innocent. But he dies there and then. She is not able to reach the jail on time. Deepak is hanged as per the court's decision. Arun's mother becomes mentally unstable from shock and is sent to a mental institution. Later Advocate Gupta (A. K. Hangal), the lawyer who defended Arun's father, finds out that Thakral had known all along that he was innocent, but only wanted him to be hanged. Arun finds out that Thakral abused the law. Arun's house and all his property are auctioned off by the court. Arun and his sister are not offered help. He grows up with the seeds of revenge in his heart. He becomes a successful defense lawyer and keenly follows every case of Thakral so that some day he can stand up in court against the unbeaten Thakral and beat him. One day Geeta Srivatsav (Meenakshi Seshadri) comes to him and asks him to fight the case of her sister, Dr. Asha Mathur (Bina), who is accused of killing a patient on duty with her medicine, which she gave from her purse. Arun refuses saying that if she can produce even a piece of evidence of her sister being innocent he will fight for her. Geeta replies coincidentally the same sentence "Jiske Paas Koi Sabut, Koi Gavah Nahi Hote Kya We Begunah Nahin Hote." Arun is instantly reminded of his mother's pleadings before Thakral. Geeta storms out of his office, but Arun is convinced to take the case. He meets Asha Mathur in police custody. He learns from her that on that fateful night she got a call from her ward assistant that her patient (who is a police witness) is in the ICU and needs her. She stops on the way (due to a traffic jam), and she impatiently moves out of her car to ask the reason. Meanwhile, somebody replaces the medicine bottle with the look-alike bottle of poison from her purse. On arrival in the hospital, she gives the liquid from that bottle to stabilize the patient. This resulted in the patient's death. It is shown that Asha Mathur's husband, Dr. Dinesh Mathur (Parikshit Sahni), had gone to meet Thakral and had asked him to fight his wife's case. Thakral says no, claiming he is very busy at the moment, but later tells his assistant that there is no way that this case could be won. Arun meets Dinesh Mathur and informs him that he will fight the case. He asked him about the nature of poison and for how long a person can sustain the poison; he learns that poison might result in death within 2 to 15 minutes depending on the body's resistance. The case begins with the prosecution lawyer recounting the events of that fateful day and telling that the medicine given to the patient was actually poison. Arun defends the case says that the patient did not die of this medicine. To prove himself right he drinks the medicine in court and refutes the claim. The court declares Geeta's sister not guilty. Just after the judgment, Dr. Mathur rushes Arun to hospital. It is revealed that the medicine contained poison, and Arun is saved in the nick of time. Geeta calls him on a beach to appreciate his efforts and kindness at the canteen. They fall in love. Thakral's son Vikram Thakral (Javed Jaffrey), a spoiled brat, not knowing anything about Arun, teases Geeta, which irritates the couple. Soon things take an ugly turn and Arun beats up Vikram. Dr. Mathur wants to appreciate and compensate Arun for the risky effort he took to save his wife. He calls him for a get-together in his mansion. Dr. Mathur gives Arun a blank check. Arun rejects the offers politely and says he did for his self-satisfaction. He then finds the same piano with the sticker of Bhagwat Geeta of Krishna which his father used to play and was auctioned. His memories are refreshed again and with the emotional request he tells Dr. Mathur that this piano is very significant to him and asks for it. Dr. Mathur very happily gives him the piano. One day at Arun's home, Mr. Mathur sees a photo of the former's mother hanging on the wall. He immediately recognizes the face with the patient he was handling for mental disorders. Arun and his sister request them to take them to her. In the mental hospital they see their mother. Her memories had stopped on the day of the incident; she feels that their children are eight and five, staying with father. Arun brings her mother to his house and tries to make her come back to normal; she regains her memory on hearing the song "Zingadi Har Kadam..." Meanwhile, Vikram wants to exact revenge on Arun and devises a plan to trap Komal who studies in the same college. He tries to impress her by his charms, dancing skills, and ways of flattering people. The plan works. Komal falls for him and he convinces her to run away with him (so that he can publicly defame Arun by leaving his sister). At the planned moment, when one of Vikram's ex-girlfriends Indu (Rabia Amin) shows up and tells Komal of Vikram's evil intentions. In the ensuing argument, Vikram murders his girlfriend which is witnessed by Dr. Mathur's family (as Arun had kept Komal with Geeta to keep her away from Vicky). Arun had been waiting for this moment to take revenge on Thakral. He steps in as the prosecutor against Thakral who is defending his son. The case moves to and fro (Thakral contends that Komal wanted to frame Vicky to extract revenge on his dad for hanging her father. Asha Mathur had weak eyesight and hence could not be relied upon to identify Vicky from a distance. Dr Mathur was also wearing a coat and trouser that night (as was Vicky), and Thakral alleges that Dr Mathur was having an affair with Indu and killed her when he saw Indu in his house and was afraid that Indu would reveal the truth to Asha) and, in the end, Arun has the upper hand (He produces a fake coat and knife and gets Thakral to admit that that night Vicky was wearing a white coat). That night Vicky bribes the police station inspector to release him for an hour so he can destroy the coat and knife. But this was a trap and Arun was waiting for Vicky. After a fight, Vicky manages to destroy the evidence, but letters from Indu fall into Arun's hands. Thakral kidnaps Arun's mother and attempts to blackmail him. Arun goes to save his mother and is beaten up by Thakral's goons. Even though injured, Arun fights back. In an attempt to shoot Arun, Thakral shoots his friend's son and is jailed. He is unsuccessful in saving his son, who is given the death penalty. Thakral becomes a mentally unstable person. Arun and his family are reunited.

A Professor finds his life turned upside down after he decides to combat crime. Seemingly inspired by 'Death Wish', this film is the story of one man against the system. When his sister is raped and his mother killed by a gang of thugs, the hero turns to the police for help, but is let down by corrupt officials. Finally, he takes the law into his own hands. —Anonymous A middle-classed resident of Andheri's Bharat Nagar, Professor Prabhat Kumar Varma, who teaches Hindi and Sanskrit; lives with his widowed mom, and sister, Madhu, is concerned about the city's crime levels. He approaches Police Commissioner Sathe, who in turn, deputes Inspector Dhamle to look into this matter. Then Professor Lalwani's sister-in-law, Sudha Advani, is abducted, sexually assaulted, and killed. The killer, identified as Suresh Thakur, is arrested, tried in Court, and acquitted after he proves that he was in Delhi at the time of incident. Prabhat and others form a vigilante group and chase criminal elements out of their area, much to the ire of their boss, Jagmohandas, who will soon ensure that Prabhat's world is turned upside down. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com) When violence reigns, lawlessness prevails; this is the cry of today, which we hear night and day. But in the deafening noise of violence and anarchy there is also a gentler but challenging voice which refuses to remain silent and let evil prevail. Such a voice is that of Prof. Prabhat Varma , a poet and a professor of Sanskrit who comes to Bombay and finds himself unwittingly drawn into the vortex of lawlessness and violence. In trying to raise his voice of protest he draws on himself the violent reaction of the under world gangs, one of which tries to teach him a lesson by brutally raping his sister and killing his mother. Knowing about the inadequacy of law that seeks evidence as a precondition of justice, Prabhat launches a one-man crusade against all evildoers - and in the process becomes an avenging angel destroying all those who perpetrate terrorism and death on peace loving citizens. When his mission to bring peace to the terrorized and tormented public was accomplished he decides to surrender himself to the police so that he is able to face the court and defend himself. His main aim is to tell the court that whatever he did it was not to take law in his own hands but to protect law from those who broke it. Advocate Rajani strives along with him in this struggle. Will they succeed in proving his innocence to the law? —gavin (gunmasterM@hotmail.com)

Avinash works at his friend`s publishing house but does not believe in chasing riches. But when his wife gets pregnant, the financial crunches make him drift away from his values.

Rajput began in 1975 as a dream project with all the makings of a blockbuster hit. It had Goldie as the director,LP as music directors; and Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna as the lead actors. Following her phenomenal success in Laila Majnu,the gorgeous Ranjeeta was also roped in. As if that was not enough, they also signed Tina Munim some time in the middle of the project. Unfortunately, the movie took seven years to see the light of the day, and it turned out to be only an average box office earner. There is no satisfactory explanation available as to why it took so long. Maybe there were problems with the dates of the overworked stars. To a viewer, the main problem appears to be the the weak story-line which ,it seems, was revised again and again, and it became weaker with each revision. The characters played by Dharmendra and Hema Malini are deeply in love, and they get physically intimate, but their parents-Om Shivpuri and Rehman- are sworn enemies. The result is that Hema gets married to the character played by Rajesh Khanna, and Dharmendra goes to jail as he kills the dacoit who attacks Hema Malini's Doli. Hema gives birth to Dharmendra's son who is raised by Rajesh Khanna as his own son, even though he knows the truth. Bhanu (Vinod Khanna) is in love with Kamali( Ranjeeta) who gets raped by Ranjeet who plays a tyrant ex ruler. Ranjeet is a widower who has a daughter from his first marriage-played by Tina Munim. Vinod Khanna forces Ranjeet to marry Ranjeeta, and kidnaps the daughter (Tina Munim) to settle the scores. Predictably, the kidnapped daughter falls in love with the kidnapper. In spite of the multi star billing, the bizarre twists to the story lead to the evident asymmetry in the relationships as Hema is the heroine for both Dharmendra and Rajesh Khanna; and Vinod Khanna is the hero for both Ranjeeta and Tina Munim. I give full marks to Goldie as he managed to make a watchable movie even though the project dragged for seven years for whatever reasons. Among the actors, Rajesh Khanna has performed the best. Physically, he looks less of a Rajput if you compare him with Dharmendra,Vinod Khanna, and Ranjeet. But his role was meatier, and he did full justice to it as the devoted lover, committed husband, caring and loving foster father, and a brave and intelligent Police Officer. Dharmendra didn't have much scope in the story. Vinod Khanna didn't have too much scope either, but he was the director's darling. Goldie sure gave special importance to his Guru Bhai ( Ref Acharya Rajneesh) ,Vinod Khanna, who gets significant footage particularly during the climax. It should be mentioned that while Goldie and Mahesh Bhatt had deserted Rajneesh, Vinod Khanna was still with the Godman and even went with him to America.He could shoot for the film only when he visited India. The girls were totally ignored except for some scintillating scenes of Hema Malini. Ranjeet was too young to play Tina's father and certainly inadequate to be the main villain. I recall when I first saw this movie, my fellow viewers wondered why Prem Nath was not there in the movie. Certainly a watchable film. The names of the actors should be taken to mean the characters played by them in the film.

After an unsuccessful marriage, Niloufer gets married to Haider, an editor, and eventually falls in love with him. However, soon her marriage bliss ends when her ex-husband Wasim returns in her life. Afaque, Saif and Niloufer are college mates. Afaque wins a 10 Rupee bet with Saif, that he will be able to touch Niloufer. Afaque has a serious crush on Niloufer who does not reciprocate. Afaque however nurses his crush and is rather charming in his attempts to draw Nilofer's attention. Niloufer (Salma Agha) an attractive but quite haughty co-ed asks Afaque (Raj Babbar) to entertain the outgoing batch with his ghazals and that is the only time, when the two actually have a meaningful exchange. Time goes by and the college mates come together again. Saif (Asrani) is now a dissolute magazine editor, alcoholic and womaniser. Niloufer is divorced by Nawab Wasim (Deepak Parasher), a debonair, workacholic and self centred man. Afaque, a publisher of Urdu poetry is single while keeping the flame of his love for Niloufer alive in his heart. The story takes us through details of Sharia (muslim) law regarding divorce and remarriage. Niloufer habitually keeps a diary, which proves to be her undoing. Does she still love her her ex-husband? On her birthday she receives a present from her doting husband, a present that is so utterly unexpected and an utterly selfless sacrifice. A proposal to replace the word Talaq - which, if repeated thrice results in divorce with another word, which should be repeated time and time again in a marriage is the denouement of the film. —MG Gopalan

Karuna and her brother Dilip Thakur (Dinesh Thakur), decide to get him married but the doctor says that the girls whom Alok marries should completely dissolve her personality into Alok because such people become quite possessive after treatment. Karuna was married to Ranjeet. But before marriage, Anupam (Shreeram Lagoo) was in love with Karuna, but her father refused her wedding to Anupam as their horoscopes didn't match. Ranjeet later appointed Anupam as Director in their firm, and that's when Ranjeet found that Anupam and Karuna loved each other from before their wedding. Ranjeet was heartbroken and commits suicide to free Karuna. But Karuna never married Anupam. His suicide made Alok mentally unstable. While Dilip was at the asylum to collect Alok, he runs out of the town (in Dilip's car) and goes to Bombay (by train, which he catches at the train station). Keeping in mind that he will not return with his Uncle whom he recognizes, Karuna sends her new manager, Mr. Siddharth (Parikshit Sahni), to bring him back home. Siddarth had replaced the ex-manager Gupta (Utpal Dutt), who was very cruel and unreasonable with the workers of the factory. He blames the workers if the machines break down and uses their salaries to fix and repair them. Siddharth was a senior supervisor and was not afraid to stand up to Gupta against his dictatorship. Karuna likes Siddharth's approach and fires Gupta. She asks Siddharth to take over as the manager of the factory as he is kind and fair to the workers. Meeta is Karuna's assistant and became close with Siddharth after he became the manager. slowly Meeta and Siddharth fall in love with each other. Siddharth goes to Bombay and finds Alok at his regular hotel. Alok was looking to move from a double room into a single room (as the double room is too expensive) and Siddharth offers to share the double room with Alok. Alok and Siddharth become friends, and soon Alok gets very possessive about Siddharth. He wants Siddharth to be with him always and offers to pay him rs 2500 per month for the same. Siddharth asks where Alok will get that kind of money and that's when Alok reveals his true identity to Siddharth. He says he doesn't like going back home, as he gets sick there. Siddharth tells Alok that he has been sent by Karuna to bring Alok back home. This is the only way Siddharth and Alok can be together. Meanwhile, Alok gets attached with Siddharth so much that he does not want him to leave for just a minute and so with his friend, Meeta (Rameshwari). Meeta is an orphan brought up by Mrs. Karuna. Alok falls in love with Meeta and wants to marry her. Meeta is very kind of Mrs. Karuna and does not want to hurt her by refusing to marry Alok but she loves Siddharth. Siddharth also tells her to sacrifice her love for the sake of her loyalty to Karuna. Meeta gets engaged with Alok and Siddharth leaves the town after giving resignation. Now Mr Gupta finds his opportunity and starts indicating to Alok that there was something going on between Meeta and Siddharth. Gupta tells Alok that Meeta spent an entire evening with Siddharth before leaving, and even produces her handkerchief as evidence of the same. Alok recalls Siddharth to work by accusing him of accounting fraud at the company. Siddharth is outraged and returns. Alok now taunts Meeta and Siddharth and wants them to admit to their relationship. He leaves town for a few days, yet stays secretly to observe what Meeta and Siddharth do. Alok hears Meeta profess her love to Siddharth, when they think they are alone. Alok tries to kill Siddharth, but at the last moment back off as he cannot kill his friend. Siddharth confronts Alok that he tried to kill him. Siddharth wants to leave, but Alok wont tell him till Siddharth tells him about the extent of his relationship with Meeta. When Siddharth refuses to comply, Alok goes mad with outrage. He kills Siddharth's dog in retaliation. It is clear that he is mentally unstable again. Alok tries to kill Meeta by pressing her neck, but she manages to escape. Meeta decides to leave town and joins Siddharth in Bombay. Alok finds out that the duo are together in Bombay. Alok calls Siddharth as a friend and says that he got blind with jealousy. He begs Siddharth and Meeta to return, as Mrs Karuna loves Meeta very dearly. Siddharth decides to go back alone. But Alok has every intention to ensure that Siddharth cant get Meeta, if he cant get her. Alok maintains a diary, and Mr Gupta knows where he keeps the diary. When Siddharth arrives, Alok gives him all the jewels that Mrs Karuna had kept as a wedding gift for Meeta and Alok's wedding. Alok says that Mrs Karuna knew about Meeta marrying Siddharth and wanted her to have the jewels none-the-less. Siddharth agrees to take the jewels When putting into the briefcase, Siddharth finds that Alok had kept a gun in it for Sid's safety. Siddharth takes the gun and returns to Alok. But now the gun has his fingerprints on it. After Siddharth leaves, Alok takes the gun (carefully wrapped in a handkerchief) and shoots himself, before throwing the cloth in the fire. Mr Gupta is the first inside the room and sees the burning handkerchief. Alok dies. Meeta and Siddharth get married, when police arrives and arrests him. The case reaches court, where Anupam defends Siddharth, while Dilip is the prosecuting lawyer. All the evidence is against Siddharth, and he is found guilty, and sentenced to death. Just a few days before his hanging, Dr Sen returns from a trip to Europe and tells the jailer that he knew Alok and he was still very mentally fragile. But nobody can stop the hanging unless there is any fresh evidence in the case. As a last resort, Anupam and Meeta approach Mrs Karuna. Dr Sen knew that Alok maintained a diary, and they want Mrs Karuna to help them find the diary. KAruna agrees after Anupam convinces her that Meeta is her daughter and Siddharth is like her son and is innocent. Mr Gupta overhears this and tries to burn the diary. But Meeta and Anupam reach in time and stop Mr Gupta and recover the diary. They manage to use the evidence to issue Governor's orders to stop the hanging, just in the nick of time. Meeta and Siddharth are reunited

Chor Chor ( 1974) is a crime thriller with Vijay Anand and Leena Chandravarkar in lead roles.Produced by Vijay Anand, the film was directed by his long time associate Prem Prakash. It is a two hour suspense thriller without any songs in it, which is surprising because one always expects the Vijay Anand films to have a number of melodious and artistically filmed songs. The only thing close to a song in Chor Chor is that Goldie himself sings two or three lines of the House Number 44 song- Phaili Hui Hai Sapno Ki Rahe- in a party, and his voice is used by the villain to frame him in an act of bank robbery. Aakash ( Goldie) is a bank manager, and his father (played by Iftekhar) is a retired police officer who tells his son one day that he saw a criminal named Chandan he thought had died twenty years ago. The same evening, the criminal attacks and kills Iftekhar who, before he dies, manages to tear a piece of the criminal's shirt collar. It is seen that the collar has the label of Stylo Tailor of Panchgani. Goldie gets himself transferred to the Panchgani branch of the bank so that he can investigate about the murder. There, he meets the beautiful girl Hema (Leena Chadravarkar) who , with her mother, runs a guest house. Goldie stays in this guest house as a paying guest which reminds the viewers of the film Kala Pani in which Dev Anand stays in a similar guest house in Hyderabad. Right from the beginning, the viewer knows the killer(played by Trilok Kapoor, brother of Prithvi Raj Kapoor, and known mostly for his role as Lord Shiva in the religious films) .The killer also knows that the hero is looking for him. So the suspense is how would the hero figure out who the killer is .There are two sub plots and about half a dozen red herrings to keep the hero confused. The first sub plot is that the killer has a dual identity. He was a criminal Chandan, accused of five murders, but he is also seen as Dr. Dharam Veer of Panchgani who has secret plans to rob forty lac rupees from the local bank . It is the same bank where the hero Aakash has joined as a replacement to the regular bank manager (played by Jairaj) who is faking illness because he is blackmailed by the killer which brings us to the second sub plot. The killer knows that Jairaj is the biological father of the heroine as he was in love with the heroine's mother Kamala whose parents arranged her marriage with someone else. As Kamala was pregnant with Jairaj's child, her husband had a fight with Jairaj in which the latter unintentionally killed the former . This knowledge gives the killer doctor Dharam Veer leverage over Jairaj to make him confine himself to his house pretending to be a heart patient, for one month , so that the killer can rob the bank and put the blame on the hero Aakash( Goldie) . There ensues a battle of wits between the hero and the killer and some interesting incidents take place like a threat letter typed from a typewriter with a defective key, and a letter shabbily written by a blind woman. The killer also manages that Aakash comes across a number of red herring suspects like an unknown lover of the heroine, a retired army colonel, the perpetual sharabi Keshto Mukherji, and the philanderer showroom owner, Vibhuti Bhushan (played by Mohan Sherry). The break through is when the hero comes to know that the killer , in spite of knowing who the hero is, doesn't kill him though he gets more than one opportunities to do so. He realizes that the killer wants to use him for some purpose before eliminating him. The hero changes his strategy and is able to outwit the killer in the end. The best part of the movie is the divinely beautiful heroine Leena Chandravarkar, and the way the director has shown her courtship with the hero Goldie. It has been presented in an absolutely natural and decent manner, without any flamboyance or aggression on hero's part and without any coyness or nakhra( attitude) on heroine's part and without any nok jhonk or ladai jhagda( lovers' tiff) between them. Their first two meetings are when the hero is driving his car and the heroine wants to cross the road and they very politely signal- you go first. The heroine conveys that she is attracted to the hero by cooking the vegetables that he likes which she comes to know when he orders from a menu in a restaurant .Their relationship develops in a very smooth and mature fashion, and the way the hero makes a marriage proposal and the way the heroine accepts it is absolutely unique. It was totally devoid of the usual romantic trappings, yet it was absolutely engaging. Maybe this reflects Goldie's idea of an ideal woman, and the ideal format of man -woman relationship which should be based on respect, mutual understanding, and commitment. Highly recommended.

Hangal) and niece Dolly (Baby Pinki). Hanuman Singh (Asrani) is his secretary. One night, while returning from a meeting, he sees a young woman thrown out of a moving car.

The next morning, the young woman (Jaya Bhaduri) regains consciousness but is suffering from amnesia. She can't remember anything except that she is married to Devendra. She can't remember anything from her past - not even her name except that she is Mrs. Dutt. Everyone tries to convince her otherwise, but she insists she is in her own home. Deven thinks the woman is trying to dupe them for some money. Seeing her fragile state, Shiv, the police inspector and Doctor Irshad Hussain (Iftekar) decide to let her stay until someone comes for her. Deven is against this decision. They call her Anamika (meaning a woman with no name). Soon, Anamika takes control of the house and regulates Shiv's diet. Dolly becomes her best friend and confidante. Shiv is happy to have a daughter-in-law in the house. Deven hates it and keeps Anamika at a distance. He kicks her out whenever she tries to enter his room.

Though heartbroken by the realization that she is married (he tracks the hotel whose address was in the studio's register and the receptionist remembers them as a couple. He gets Ganga's address from the receptionist), he goes to meet the Ganga is Bombay. Here, he is shocked to learn that Anamika isn't the businessman's wife, but his employee/escort Kanchan who accompanied him on his holiday to Shimla the previous year. Ganga asks Deven to ask dancer Rubai about Kanchan's past.. Rubai confirms that Kanchan was a prostitute who used to work for her.. Being already dumped by a former fiance, Devendra believes that Anamika, like all women, is immoral and after his money and throws her out of his house. She is promptly abducted by Naresh.

On her wedding night, she learns that she is married to Naresh's brother Kashyap, who deserts her the same night believing himself undeserving of Anamika. Naresh now takes advantage of his brother's absence and continues to harass her. Archana's husband commits suicide as he was impotent.. His dad gets a stroke and decides to give all the wealth to Archana before dying as Naresh was always unfit for that responsibility.. She escapes from the house and joins a modeling company as Kanchan to start a new life. There, her boss tries to take advantage of her and when she resists, he blames her for the incident. She quits her job and Rubai (Helen), who had recommended her to the modeling job, outwardly sympathizes with her and puts her up in what she claims is a working women's hostel. A few days later, Anamika gets arrested with the rest of the girls in a police raid, which is when she realizes she had been staying at a brothel. But she is later released, based on the testimony of the other inmates and her own statement against Rubai. Rubai tries to exact revenge on Anamika for this and sends her goons to kill her. While attempting to escape the goons, Anamika jumps out of a moving car on the night that Devendra finds her. Anamika tells Devendra that when she regained her consciousness and discovered that she was at her favorite author's house, she decided to stay, come what may. After listening to all this, Devendra empathizes and reconciles with her. Just then, a badly burnt Naresh attacks them both, and after a prolonged cat-and-mouse chase in a darkened house, Naresh gets electrocuted.

Colonel Saab is also a doctor in a psychiatric hospital in India. His particular interest is in treating patients with a acute mania, which he describes is caused by the male child's longing for the unconditional love he gets from his mother, and after he separates from her, he searches for this love in other women, until he meets the one who he feels is capable of offering the same. But when that does not happen, the male child becomes cynical, full of hatred, and distrust and develops acute mania. His hospital nurse, Radha, had successfully treated one such patient by the name of Dev, and now they have another one by the name of Arun Choudhury. A reluctant Radha is asked to act as his caring mother-like nurse, to gain his trust, love him, and then make him ready to face everyday life. What Colonel Saab, Dev, and Arun do not realize what this is doing to Radha herself when she feels that she cannot act anymore and becomes more and more involved in her patients' lives, knowing fully well that she has to keep up a professional attitude, and that the patient is going to be discharged soon, and may not even remember the care, love and treatment he received from Radha. Radha has now to decide to carry on being a nurse, without being a woman, who is quite capable in falling in love with Dev, and again with Arun. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
