Story of this movie was written by Sailajananda Mukhopadhya and dialogues were written by Kamleshwar. Editing of this movie was done by Bijoy Chowdhury. Shakti Samanta who produced and directed this movie also wrote the screenplay of this movie. Music for this movie “Aanand Aashram” was composed by Shyamal Mitra and it has six songs – all written by Indeevar.
The gist of this movie till today’s song in the movie is like this;
Deepak (Uttam Kumar) is a doctor and Aasha (Sharmila Tagore) is his childhood friend. Pratap Narayan Chaudhary (Ashok Kumar) is Deepak’s father and is a wealthy-upper class person having legacy of his forefather’s and very proud of his status, and prestige in the society. Deepak and Aasha fall in love. Aasha’s father has been a Teacher to Deepak. But since Aasha’s father has converted and following other religion Pratap Narayan Chaudhary dislikes them and rejects Deepak’s love for Aasha. Deepak marries Aasha against his father’s wishes and thus Pratap Narayan Chaudhary and Deepak had a confrontation following which Deepak leaves his father and his inheritance from his father’s wealth and property. Deepak wants to help underprivileged people and serve the humanity. So he sets out for his journey with Aasha for a new life.
On their way Deepak meets a good hearted wealthy person Rasiklal (Utpal Dutt) who has an inherited business, but also wants to serve the humanity so that he is remembered by people in the society and also finds a place in the ‘good books’ of god. He helps Deepak to open up and run a hospital in his village where Aasha helps Deepak in nursing people. Unfortunately later, When Aasha is pregnant and about to deliver a child Deepak has to attend another woman’s delivery in the village where the lady is in critical stage. Deepak is able to save this woman and her child who showed no signs of life immediately after birth. Meanwhile Aasha is critical and before Deepak could reach to her, she had delivered a child and died during the process. Deepak comes to normal attending his duties and also taking care of the child which is difficult for him. One day it so happens that the family servant Giridhari Kaka (Asit Sen) visits Deepak while coming back from Baba Taaraknath.
He already has come to know about Aasha’s passing away and knows the situation Deepak is passing through. He requests Deepak to handover the child to him and he will take of him. But Deepak handovers him the child only on the condition that he will not tell anybody at home that it is Deepak’s child. Giridhari brings the child to home and tells Pratap Narayan Chaudhary (Ashok Kumar) that he had found the child on the bank of the rivers where somebody might have left him and he has found a letter tied with a thread with the child. He asks Pratap Narayan to help to read this note which mentions that the child is from a ‘higher caste family’. Giridhari somehow convinces Pratap Narayan to allow this child to grow at their place only which Pratap Narayan agrees and gradually accepts the child and starts loving him. This child grows up, and goes abroad and also becomes a doctor – Dr Prakash. On screen it is played by Rakesh Roshan. His love interest is Kiran who on screen is played by Moushumi Chatterjee. Kiran happens to be the daughter of Rasiklal and Chandramukhi (Utpal Dutt & Anita Guha).
Dr Prakash and Kiran love each other and today’s song is for the lighter romantic moments they shared. On screen we have Rakesh Roshan and Moushumi Chatterjee performing on the song. Singers for the today’s song are Yesudas and Preeti Sagar.
Lyrics are by Indeevar and music is composed by Shyamal Mitra.
Let us listen to this song now which will take readers back to those years of seventies. While listening and humming this song I kept getting reminded of another song with similar mukhda ‘tum kitnee khoobsoorat ho, ye mere dil se poochho, kyun dil hai tumpe deewaanaa’ … (I don’t know why 🙂 )
