Spoiler A great movie...the direction is marvelous. I'm sure everyone knows the plot ~ a love triangle. Radha (Vyjayantimala) loves Gopal (Rajendra Kumar), he loves her back, but hides it due to his best friend Sunder (Raj Kapoor) who is also in love with Radha.
Radha always hides her feelings and it's hard for her to be frank, but she thinks of Sunder only as a childhood and nothing more. Gopal tries to get Radha and Sunder hooked up in marriage, but even Radha's parents had planned for her to get married to Gopal.
Radha yells at Sunder to be somebody! He finds that statement very strong, and decides he can be a good use in the army. So he leaves, making Gopal promise that there would be no third person in the way of him (Sunder) and Radha. Gopal, as a good friend, promises. Then, as the plane is about to leave Radha finally realized what they were talking about, and she yells and yells and Sunder saying that he was thinking wrong...she doesn't love him. But he couldn't hear her.
After sometime, it is believed that Sunder had died during a plane crash is the war. After this, Gopal finally shows his love to Radha. Within two years, their marriage is about to be settled. But suddenly ~ Sunder is back! News has come that he had survived! Now it was a strange dilemma, should Gopal keep is promise and break Radha's heart? Or break it and prove himself to be an unloyal friend?
The movie is wonderful. The songs are great, I especially like "Main Ka Karoon Ram" and "O Mere Sanam". But "Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega", "Yeh Mera Prem Patra" and "Dost Dost Na Raha" are also mezmerising. Vyjayantimala is unbelievable beautiful and her performance was invincible...which is why she deservedly won the best actress award for 1964. Rajendra Kumar's expression is beautifully depressing...his mouth is arched in a smile but his eyes are crying...he's excellent. And last but not least Raj Kapoor, who excels in a different role. During the second half he acts so cruel, and it's nice to see that he is a very versatile actor. He directed the movie too, and he did a great job of it.
A sad but wonderful love story. I love this movie! I give it a ten out of ten. Watch it, it's a classic.
