Another Dharti Ka Lal (Son of Soil) Adventure of Jeetendra

[ArvindVyas · 8/10 · 18 March 2004]

PLOT

As usual Jeetendra is a village boy studying in city. In nights sometimes drive taxi of his roommate. During one such nights he meets Leena Chandavarkar who is daughter of millionaire Madan Puri. Who falls is love with him and marries him.

However, this is also story of a mother Durga Khote who has two sons (Jeetendra is one of them), but still is mistreated. After marriage Jeetendra brings Leena to village but she can't just live in village. So, mother asks son Jeetendra to live with the in-laws.

Will the mother ever have her sons back to her? Will the rich girl Leena understand value of family ties? That's the story. Asrani plays a foreign returned suitor for Leena Chandravakar.

DIRECTION The director has chosen to portray this serious story with a lot of comic touch and makes this a humorous movie. The cast just delivers what the movie demands.

MUSIC The songs in the movie are good and they also maintain the touch of humor the director wanted. The songs "Kabhi Khole Na Tizori Ka Taala Haan mera sasura bara paise wala..." and "Yeh hai mera premi mujhko kare salaam, main hoon iski begum yeh hai mera ghulam..." are samples.

My rating is 8/10 to this movie.

Fantastic Movie between Son & Mother

[basheer447 · 3 September 2010]

As to my knowledge this film written by Late Ex CM & Telugu Actor N.T.Rama Rao. He has written this single film script. Initially L.V. Prasad want to cast Rajesh Khanna due to his demand & behaviour, Jeetendra accept this movie unconditionally to get the success & marry his girl friend Shoba now his Wife. I have never seen this kind of movie with full of emotions & loving son towards his mother, Story of Mother with 2 sons 1 elder leaves her in the village & shift to city with his wife another younger son who wants to keep his mother happy with any cost even refusing to separate from his wife, In this movie Bidaai " Separation" shown in a very good hearth touching manner, Ist of all script is very strong as well as direction was excellent by L.V. Prasad, Acting wise Durga Khote excel in her part, Madan Puri too acted well in Father in law role, Leena Chandavarkar also perform too good as lover than wife, above all Jeetendra performance was so strong & he proved that he is a very talented actor.The movie runs 50 weeks that time. A must watch film for mother son relation. A very fantastic movie of Jeetendra.
