Atul ji,
FARIYAD-1964 was a film which was full of wrong things.It had a wrong Hero,it had a wrong theme and it was made in a wrong period.Why two,here even three wrongs did not make a right and the film was a total flop,breaking 2 hearts.one that of the hero Ashok Sharma,son of a successful lyricist,story writer and a Director Kidar Sharma,and the second heart was that of the disappointed father who had made a second attempt to settle his son as a Hero.But providence had planned it otherwise and he failed even in the second attempt.Good music by Snehal Bhatkar,a protege of Kidar Sharma also could not save the film.
Earlier in Hamaari Yaad aayegi-61,launching Tanuja,same hero had the same fate.luckily,after this Kidar Sharma and his son reconciled with the fact and Ashok Sharma kept away from films for a long time.
The film was a prodn. of Show people,a concern floated by kidar Sharma.Under this banner films like Chhora Chhori-55,Hamari Yaad Aayegi-61,Fariyaad-64,Maikhana-67 and Pyase Nain-89 were made,but none was a successful film.
The theme of FARIYAAD was Achhut Kanya,i.e. the heroine is a Harijan-Untouchable.It attempted to depict the trials and turbulations faced by harijans.But in a period of 1964 and that too in a city like Bombay,this theme was outdated as even the society was least bothered about the Untouchable problem.No wonder this weak plot helped the film demolition.
Ashok(Ashok Sharma) is the son of a rich,high caste Brahmin Mahant.His mother(Achala Sachdev) reluctantly educates him and more reluctantly allows him to go to Bombay for college education.in the college Ashok is a matter of ridicule due to his language,hair style and puritanic behaviour.However he has one sympathiser-Manju(Zeb Rehman) who exhibits a soft corner for him.She is an orphan Harijan Girl brought up by a Christian-Peter.These two souls fall in love.There is a villain-Jolly(Dilip Dutt) who is interested in Manju.
One day,when the news of Peter’s death comes in the college,Jolly offers to escort manju to her house in his car.During the travel,Manju opposes his advances and jolly comes to know her Caste.next day,in the college Manju is avoided by everybody.She abandons the college.Ashok meets her and takes her to his village,introduces her to his mother and they get married without revealing her caste.Jolly enters the village and annonces the secret.Village elders throw away Manju and Ashok is also beaten black and blue.he is admitted in the Hospital.
Manju leaves town by train and attempts suicide by jumping off the train.She is injured but saved and brought to the same hospital where Ashok is kept.Now there are realisations of their love,expressed in long speeches by some elders and the mother.this changes the hearts of majority and Ashok and Manju are reunited to live happily ever after.

This is one of my favorite songs composed by Snehal Bhatkar.
It is rare for a poet to use the word ‘kaafir’ in relation to a love song.
By the way, this film’s songs can be better enjoyed in the audio than the video clips.
