Dushman 1971 and Do aankhe Barah Haath

Any Rajesh Khanna fans out there ...I am a Kishore Kumar fan ... and hence by association...
I end up watching a lot of Rajesh Khanna movies
So Dushman is a story about a hit and that too under DUI ... mind you it was not a hit and run ...
He stayed back to face the consequences
The judge instead of imprisonment ... makes him (Rajesh Khanna's) Character live with the family and the story is a journey to forgiveness ...
Please remember the longest time a character took forgive the crime is the wife of the victim played by Meena Kumari
The love interest is from a different family not directly affected by what happened

I can talk of another movie Do Annkhen Barah Haath ... again it is about reforming hard core criminals..
A master piece by V Shantram ...why I am talking about these movies ... simply that forgiveness is a noble emotion... and we all may find it in our selves ...
But romancing the individuals who committed a grave crime against us or loved ones is something that is
Still unthinkable .
Purely that is why it has never ever been attempted on celluloid
At least to my knowledge and neither in books ...
If anyone has read or seen something different please do share

Hence my objection to what is being shown .. I signed up for a
Love story... frankly... and I am in no mood to watch tragedy of unrequited love

Very well compared Tibs. Agree with U, if finally the makers cant or dont want to put up another angle where SK is not directly responsible for the mishap, then V can digest Mehriya as life partners. If not will not b able to digest M staying happily with the very man responsible for her parents death. At a point when they were everything for her. For a child parents r everything till they dont turn adults. She can forgive him n relieve him from getting arrested but can't live with him. Even if the makers go ahead with it, will b tough for us to see n Njoy Mehriya like V do now Agree V tuned into watch a love story n were digesting the different one too according to the makers but blood stained love story certainly a put off for us. Really really now seriously want them to come up with another so called twist of twists n erase what they have shown yesterday.

Talking about Rajesh Khanna there was one more movie of him ROTI

In yesterday's episode they have shown SK hitting mehek's parents and after that his car hit a tree.If this track fails to gain trp they may end up with another twist showing SK not responsible for mehek's parents death.They may show Nani , swetlana or mama responsible for accident.I have a little hope .I can't digest the truth hero as murderer.

@ Chandrima... and if Mahek is that character to give everything... then would she resonate with the woman of today

Bring another twist to cover this twist so Shaurya can be erased from the scene. That is only can be done at this point otherwise hero is responsible for heroine's parents death that would be disaster story. Band baja jayegi storyline ki.

Again, another one I can remember is the film "Bombai Ka Babu" (1960) starring Dev Anand & Suchitra Sen, directed by Raj Khosla. In this film Dev Anand's character was that of a criminal's. He unintentionally murders a man and escapes to an unknown destination subsequently. He is taken in by a family constituting a blind aged couple and their young daughter. This happens to be the actual family of the murdered man. They mistakenly identify him as their long lost son since he was carrying the murdered man's belongings. The guy gradually falls in love with the daughter of the house, but she used to consider him as her brother only. Later she gets enlightened with the entire truth. After much fights, she gradually gets settled with the fact that for her parents this guy is the son and if she spills the beans then it would be a death blow to her parents. So she decides to bury the truth. Later she also falls for the guy, but been married off to an aged man. The film ends with her vidaai and her extracting a promise from him that he would take the responsibilities of her aged parents as their true son.

tibs di...

a lot of stories we hear about these pativrata women are written by men. May be its their idea of how they want women to be! I wonder if any woman has written such a story?
