Plot Synopsis: Deepa (Vidya Sinha) is a graduate student in Delhi who is in a long-term relationship with Sanjay (Amol Palekar), whom she plans to marry. Sanjay is a loquacious, humorous, and a good individual who is also rather lackadaisical and forgetful with no sense of punctuality.

A job interview call from a college in Mumbai re-acquaints her with Navin (Dinesh Thakur) whom she had split up with under acrimonious circumstances. Navin is in every way the antithesis of Sanjay: He is very punctual and looks after her during her stay in Mumbai. Navin shows her the city and helps her with the job interview. This rekindles Deepa's feelings for him, and she finds herself torn between the two men and between her past and her present. Upon her return to Delhi, she feels that her first love (Navin) is her true love. She receives a letter stating that she has got the job in Mumbai. At the same time Sanjay comes to her house and tells her that he has got a promotion. Deepa then feels that she should forget the past and get married to Sanjay. Whom she decides to marry forms the climax of the movie. (source:wiki)

How many of you have watched this movie?

What did you particularly like/love in it or dislike?

Please share your views on this gem of a movie...

I for one enjoyed it immensely. The Mukesh number- Kai Bar Yunbhi Bhi Dekha Hai is so true to life.

The story was realistic, the cast fresh and talented. Its ending left me in a quandary about the crucial choices we end up making in life.Goes on to underline that Truth is very seldom universal, rather its quite personal and subjective.

I loved this movie and it even surprised me that they had movie like this in those days. I mean this movie focussed on the boyfriend- girlfriend relationship and was realistic to the core.

How after being in relationship for years, the guy starts taking the girl for granted.

And how the girl who had been pining for more attention from her boyfriend starts rethinking about their relationships.

I was worried about the ending, but thankfully it was managed very well.

The Rajnigandha title track is one of the most heartfelt song i have ever heard. All the songs were awesome.
