The movie Dushman was released in 1971 starring Rajesh Khanna and Meena Kumari
The storyline was:
Rajesh Khanna plays a truck driver, crass and uncouth
One night, while driving, he was drunk and killed a man in a road accident
He was caught but was unrepentant
The man was a poor farmer and the sole provider, he left a widow, small child, and dependent family
Rajesh Khanna as the truck driver felt no remorse,
He had no skills for anything else except truck driving
He had minimal education, no money, as would simply drink away all he earned as a truck driver
So, in order to teach him a lesson, and to ensure that he provides for the family,
The judge sentenced him to living in the farmers house for a period of two years or so, and provide for them financially
He hated it, and also faced a lot of resentment from the villagers and the villagers family
His widow ESP could not tolerate her husbands hatyara, being made responsible for her and her family, and refused to take his help
But he was legally forced to do it
In the village, he learned his lessons in humanity and sensitivity
Won hearts one at a time, set a few wrongs right, met his girl - mumtaz
And finally in the end earned the forgiveness of the widow
Needless to say he continued to stay on in the village
A good film, the track was LOGICAL , the situation BELEIVEABLE,
This track has been copied here, but here sadly ...
The hero accepts his mistake and is willing to face the punishment
He is financially able to compensate for the loss and more than willing for it
There is no need for the widow and her child and mother in law to suffer while he learns their trade
The need of the hour is to care for her till her hand is ok
Financially provide her some security, compensate for the loss of the cow
The village panchayats are not stupid
This is 2013, the villagers are not gullible idiots, who cannot see simple logic
Here this track is ILLOGICAL
