“Laakhon Mein Ek” (1971) was directed by S S Balan. The movie had Mehmood, Radha,Shubha Khote, Ramesh Deo, Pran, Aruna Irani, Kanhaiyalal, Lalita Pawar, David, Nazir Hussain and a long list of comedians in it.
Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia had shared the story of this movie with us in the past. Here is what he has to say about the story:-
Bhola(Mehmood) is an orphan. He is a collegian and he lives in a chawl in Bombay. He manages to stay under the staircase. The middle class tenents of the chawl take advantage of his simplicity and get their errands done by him. Some good natured people give him food also. Since the story is set in a chawl, there is ample scope to portray a variety of characters from the society. There is Keshvrao(Ramesh Deo),whose wife Jaya is very fond of hindi films and likes to live in daydreams always. Then there is Manoharlal(Kanhialal) and his wife Leela(Lalita Pawar) whose daughter Gouri (Radha) is about to get married. However,her marriage is broken as the in-laws learn that Gauri had been in Mental Hospital for 10 years. Though she is quite normal now, no one wants to marry her.
Gouri and Bhola get friendly and slowly love develops between them. As anywhere else, in this chawl also there are bad people who can not digest the friendship of Bhola and Gouri. One day Bhola is accused of stealing valuables. In addition he is also accused of having written a love letter to Renu(Aruna Irani),which actually is written by her lover. With these pretexts,bhole is beaten Black and Blue on the eve of his college exams. Somehow, with the help from some good people and Gouri, Bhola gives the Examinations and passes his Graduation with flying colours.
Pran has done the role of a kind hearted truck driver Sher Singh in this film. After Upkar-1967,Pran had shifted to character roles. He also helps Bhola and Gouri always.
Then one day a shocking thing happens. A rich businessman from Singapore comes to the chawl and declares that Bhola is his long lost son. When this news breaks in the chawl, true colours of the chawl people come out. Those who had suspected him, beaten him and treated him always as their servant start talking nicely with him.
The director has used this plot effectively to portray the human behaviours in changed circumstances.
Today (27 june 2014) is the 75th birth anniversary of R D Burman. On this occasion, here is a song from “Laakhon Mein Ek” (1971).
This song has two versions. One version is sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata while the female version is sung by Lata. Both versions of the song are picturised on Mehmood and Radha.
Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by R D Burman.

I think the actress is RADHA SALUJA(But she got another name as Rita Saluja-Radha Saluja is a PUNJABI I think-Please correct me If I am wrong)
, I don`t think Radha Saluja`s name as RADHA(SOUTH).
But Radha Saluja acted with MGR in a tamil film and acted in Kannada movie also.
For reference:
There is another RADHA(SOUTH indian movie heroine)who acted with Jeetendra in Kaamyaab(1984),sister of famous south indian movie heroine AMBIKA.
RADHA SALUJA acted in
Ek mutti aasmaan(1973-Madan Mohan-pran, vijay arora)
Haar jeet(1972-Laxmi Pyare-Mehmood,Anil dhawan,Rehana Sultana)
Saza-e-Maut(Vidhu Vinod chopras`s first movie starring Naseeruddin Shah)
Aaj Ki tazaa Khabar(1974-Shankar Jaikishen-opposite Kiran Kumar)
Do Raahaa(1972-Sapan Jagmohan-with Anil Dhwan, Roopesh Kumar)
Chaalaak(1973-Ganesh:opposite Kiran Kumar)
Gaal gulaabi nain sharabi(1974-Shyamji Ghanshyamji-Kiran Kumar)
Chori chori(1974-Shankar Jaikishen-Sanjay khan)
Minoo(1977-Salil chowdhury-Dinesh Thakur)
Radha Saluja also acted in a Multi starrer Kannada Movie-Madhura Sangama(acted in double role opposite Anant Naag and Ashok)
Radha Saluja is elder sister of famous film editor Late Renu saluja(she is a Punjabi !)(Renu Saluja was first wife of producer director vidhu vinod chopra, but they are divorced,
Afterwards Renu Saluja was living with hindi movie director SUDHIR MISHRA)

Atul ji,
Thanks for the nice song.
Lakhon Mein Ek was the remake of the Tamil film Edhir Neechal (1968) meaning ‘swimming against the tide’. The song Jogi o jogi was also good. I remember there was another song, a parody, Mere samne wale kamre mein.
