Dosti (1964)
Dosti is a Classic Bollywood Movie by Rajshri Productions. Man does not live by bread alone; man's life is not complete without love and without friendship. It is the bond of affection between man and man that has contributed to the progress of mankind since time immemorial. "Dosti" is the story of two teenage boys drawn together by fate and friendship, which is both heart-warming and inspiring. Orphan, lame, Ramu searched for a job and wandered in the street. One day he saw a boy crossing a street unmindful of the approaching car. He rushed and saved the boy only to find out that Mohan was blind. Mohan told him that in childhood, he had fallen sick and lost his eye-sight. He had a sister who had left the village to become a nurse and get him cured. Due to floods he had come to the city in search of his sister. Ramu and Mohan, facing the same cruel fate, become friends and decide to fight the battle of life together. One day Ramu was playing a tune on his mouth organ. It attracted some passers-by who gave him money mistaking him for a beggar. Ramu felt humiliated; but Mohan consoled him, saying that people were paying him for his music. Mohan, who had a melodious voice, sang and together they made a good team of entertainers and earned their livelihood. Ramu's interest in studies and his promise to his mother that he will complete his studies and become something in life inspired Mohan to convince his friend to join the school again. Mohan promised to raise the money. With some difficulties Ramu got himself admitted in the school. Sharmaji, a school teacher finding him a brilliant student, became his god-father. With all the handicaps trials and tribulations the bond of friendship keeps the faith and the trust of humanity alive, because if humanity has to live and prosper with peace, smile and happiness, Dosti, the eternal human relationship between friends must direct human conditions. Does Dosti (friendship) emerge victorious in the end and attain its aim?

    Great acting , Great songs , Perfect direction ..A master class of old Indian Cinema
    I watched the movie and can't resist appreciating one of the master class from Indian Cinema. What a depiction of friendship !! just amazing....This is third movie which broke me in tears , the first two being Mera Naam Joker and Shree 420. The two actors Sudhir Kumar and Shushil Kumar have performed as if they were born to play the role. They can't be so much bonded even in real life as they are in the movie. Direction is also perfect with each emotion being captured and portrayed so simply but vividly . Mohan bringing lantern for Ramu was just superb and the way Ramu's examination result is disclosed to Mohan at the end is so heart touching and emotional that one can hardly resist ones tears. I was lucky to watch it alone at night with no one around to disturb and was just captivated in the movie for 3 hours.

    Three cheers to Tarachandji.....Hats off to you....

    It will be a great injustice not to comment on songs. No wonder the film won all five best Filmfare awards of 1965. There couldn't be a better lyrics and better voice . I usually fwd the songs while watching a movie on DVD but this was an exception as the songs are worth listening. Md. Rafi at his best ...

    It feels so bad that with so much advanced technology now a days in Bollywood somehow the real art and classics are lost and worst is that the loss is beyond repair with increasing commercialization and glamor. Gone are the days of real classics.

    A must watch movie for all who love Indian Cinema.
