Relationships redefined in Basu Bhattacharya's classic
7 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It was not easy to make the movie on these subject in these days. Amar(Sanjeev Kumar) and Mansi(Sharmila Tagore) living their peaceful life. Soon enter Sapna(Sarika) and she is asked to sit in Amar's cabin and now her beauty starts to affect Amar and he is drawn toward her and soon wants to marry her.

And the song Logon Ke Ghar Mein Rahta Hoon, is such a treat to ears and it touches you deep down. Not every house is a house(Har makaan ghar nahi hota) is the essense of the song and to somepoint is the basic philosphy of this movie.

Sanjeev Kumar is so natural and convincing as Amar and as a husband who is trying hard for a peaceful life and to purchase a house as his wife (Sharmila Tagore) wants to shift to new house. But he is attracted toward Sapna. These expression come beautifully on his face. The dileama and conflicts is beautifully portrayed by him.

Sharmila Tagore as a wife who is trying hard to meet the requirements of family and is always dreaming about buying a new house is just like another normal middle class woman with dreams of her. And when she comes to know about Sapna and Amar, the pain and the emotions will just melt your heart.

Sarika looks ravishing in the movie and she does her part very well.

There is this rare moment in cinema when Mansi wants to meet Sapna before separating from Amar, and that scene is beautifully told in the movie.

The ending is on a moral note and it's all's well that ends well type movie but the symbolic used in the climax is just perfect to differentiate between a marriage and extra martial affiar.
