Storyline

Julie is an anglo-Indian girl with a loving, but alcoholic father and a domineering mother, a younger brother and sister. She falls in love with her best friend's brother Shashi Bhattacharya, a Hindu boy, and she has a passionate encounter with him, which leaves her pregnant. He goes away to college, not knowing about her condition. Her mother is distraught when Julie tells her about the pregnancy. They don't tell the rest of the family. Her mother thinks about getting Julie an abortion, but a devout Christian talks her out of it. Julie is sent away to have her baby in secret. The rest of the family is told that Julie got a job. When she comes back home, she runs into her Hindu boyfriend and tells him everything. He agrees to marry her, but his mother objects to the mixed marriage, not knowing about the baby born in secret. Julie's mother doesn't want the marriage either, as she and the rest of the family want to go to England.

User Reviews

Good Music, Average cast, Good movie

First time I saw this movie, it was like a hottest movie due to one song in which Hero is seducing heroine. This was also Sri Devi's first Hindi movie. although her role is not very significant.

The plot is about the Anglo Indian family in Goa, which comprises Om Prakash as the father, and Nadira as a mother. They have two daughters and a son. Julie, the central character loses her virginity and gets pregnant. Her mom objects to this because the boy she loves is Hindu. Then she takes her to some isolated place where no one knows the family. Main idea is to dump the baby and thus save the daughter in the Indian Samaj! What happens next is a typical Indian Melodrama, but is not boring at all. I don't want to spoil as it has a very good plot and enjoyable hit songs. Boy's father's role has been played by always funny and humorous Utpal Dutt. It has some really good scenes, which will bring back memories of growing back in India, if you know what I mean. Enjoy.
