Good movie was screwed

[kalpeshved · 5/10 · 16 May 2020]

Sanjeev Kumar, Waheeda, David, Mehmood and yet bad movie at the end. There is a point in movie fairly early where Sanjeev Kumar finds out his sister is pregnant from his brother in law. The writers had no clue what to do after this point. It just gets foolish with too many coincidence, not required duplicates, comic relief which was no relief. If you do plan to watch the movie, watch the first hour then switch off.

A decent tearjerker from the 70s

A poor but honest taxi driver Deepak is the main character. To establish his honesty credential, he destroys a gambling game in progress and then proceeds to lecture his friend on ills of gambling. Pretty quickly he gets married to Krishna (Waheeda Rehman). Another parallel story is that of a jeweler who is rich but honest played by David. His well covered wife who is the butt of all weighty jokes and her clown, loafer brother who does not miss an opportunity to address his bro-in-law as Taklu (baldy) or saale!

One fine day the honest rich guy forgets his bag filled with Rs 10000 in the honest poor guy's taxi. The rest is pretty decent. Lots of sadness. Some comedy. Decent collection of songs. I liked it.
