“Maan Abhimaan-1980” was directed by Hiren Nag for ‘Rajshri Productions, Bombay’. It had Rameshwari, Raj Kiran, Shashi Puri, Kavita Kiran, C.S. Dubey, Jagirdar, Yunus Parvez, Sundar, Arun Kumar, Pardesi, Albela, Master Rajesh, Chandu Allahabadi, Brijendra Mohan and others. Amrish Puri, Iftekhar and Sulochana had guest appearances in this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 06.08.1980. As usual for movies from ‘Rajshri Productions’ this movie “Maan Abhimaan-1980” is another movie where they give us a ‘clean, heart-warming, family drama movie with some very nice musical compositions that come along the story’. I had not watched this movie in those years. In the year ‘1980’, when this movie was released, my age was 12 years and six months. I do not have any specific memory related to this movie or its songs or any discussion about it in our group of ‘cricket playing-movie watching’ friends.
But I watched this movie a couple of months back on the internet. I like this movie for its simple story and the engrossing screenplay, the performances of almost all cast members and its music. Despite having some good songs, none of the songs of this movie ‘Maan Abhimaan’ made it to the ‘annual list of Binaca Geetmala-1980’.
“Maan Abhimaan” tells a story of two friends Mathura Prasad (Amrish Puri) and Thakur Sumer Singh (Iftekhar) who are partners in business. Sumer Singh is cheated by Mathura Prasad where Mathura Prasad’s evil accountant Munim (C.S. Dubey) plays an important role in creating a rift between two friends. Not only that he suggests his mentor to purchase the ‘haveli’ of Sumer Singh so that his daughter (Rameshwari as Mallika) and Somu (Master Rajesh) will have to vacate the place and ultimately, they will have to come ‘on the road’.
Mathura Prasad has a son Ajay (Raj Kiran) and a daughter Rekha (Kavita Kiran). Ajay, after finishing his studies in London comes back to India. Mathura Prasad want’s his son to take over his business and among other things the first thing he assigns him is to visit their ancestral village and buy this ‘haveli’ of Sumer Singh.
It so happens that on the way Ajay first meets Mallika’s kid brother and develops a friendship with him. The next day when he visits the haveli with Munim, Mallika treats him badly as she always held Ajay’s family responsible for her father’s death. Mallika’s behaviour is beyond Ajay’s understanding. So, he decides to get to the root of the ‘truth’, overlooking his Munim’s continues ‘fuelling’ him against Mallika. In this process Ajay further develops the bond of friendship with Mallika’s kid brother Somu and tries to make peace with Mallika. However, Mallika cannot forget her father’s death and the treatment from Ajay’s Munim where he repeatedly visits them and tries to threaten them. On the other hand, Ajay has a soft corner turning into love for Mallika.
This song takes place when Ajay is out of town and in his absence the Munim sends notice to the occupants in the haveli viz. Mallika, to vacate the haveli including all belongings present in the haveli as it belongs to Mathura Prasad. This incident further fuels the hate for Ajay in Mallika’s mind. However, when Ajay comes back from the city and gets to the root of the ‘reality’ he terminates the services of the Munim with paid retirement. Ajay then decides to meet Mallika and clarify the matters and seek her pardon. But Mallika is adamant, and she refuses to listen pay heed to the many requests of Ajay to forgive him. As Mallika walks into the temple with her brother Ajay follows her there. Here, in temple of Radha and Krishn we have the priest singing this beautiful song, which is a song by Krishn to Radha his eternal love. The lyrics, the composition and the picturisation of this song is so impactful and the lyrics are perfectly woven to give us the gist of the story of this movie, and the love of Ajay for Mallika. It also shows the state of mind of Mallika where though she does have a soft corner for Ajay but could not accept his ‘hand of friendship’ as she holds his family directly responsible for her father’s death. On the other hand, Ajay wants to clear the misunderstandings and in turn rectifying his father’s deeds and wants Mallika to forgive and start a new life.
The lyrics for this heart touching song are by Ravindra Jain and he is also the composer and singer of this song. In the picturization of this song we have Rameshwari, Rajkiran, and many others. I am unable to identify the actor lip-syncing this song. I would request knowledgeable readers to identify this actor please.
Let us now listen to this heart touching song …
