Jeetendra, Rekha and Moushumi for the familiar triangle in this familiar tale of bigamy from 1980. Jeetendra-Rekha are in love. They take each other for dead in a dam burst. Jeetendra marries Moushumi. Rekha remains unmarried. They meet four years later. Jeetendra immediately enters into a physical relationship with her without telling her the truth. She even gives birth to a baby boy. All hell breaks loose only after that.
Jeetendra tells no truth to either woman. Yet when the cat is out of the bag his sanctimonious nobles requests Moushumi to make the decision of all three lives. Really?
The movie is written from some age old patriarchal perspective. Both women edifying Jeetendra instead of holding him accountable even for a mini for his treachery does not seem acceptable! Yet the soppy movie was a huge hit when released! Rekha in the role of the could be courtesan is gorgeous as ever. Moushumi has more of a supporting role in comparison. And ages for part of the movie. Jeetendra hams his way through. Couple of LP songs were hits in the 80s.
