Oonche Log review :
A remake of Dilip Kumar Saahab's 'Dil Diya Dard Liya', Oonche Log was one of the last films directed by Brij Sadanah. It starred Rajesh Khanna in Dilip Kumar's role while the pretty Salma Agha stepped in to Waheeda Rehman's role from the original.
A wealthy Thakur adopts an orphan (Khanna), who falls in love with the Thakur's daughter (Salma) when he grows up. Salma Agha's biological brother Danny hates Rajesh Khanna since childhood and then tries to eliminate him.
Danny was impressive as the villain originally portrayed by Pran Saahab. Prem Chopra lend good support. The 'O Sajna' song sung and performed by Salma Agha gained popularity.
This is one of lesser known Kaka films in his second phase in the 80s and audience remember him mainly for hits like Souten (1983) and Avtaar (1983). Oonche Log didnt meet the audience expectations and was an underperformer at the box office.
There were rumours that Kaka had a verbal tiff with Salma Agha over her costume and they were not on talking terms during the making of this film.
I caught this film on YouTube today and found it a decent fare for the 80s.
