Movie Review:
This old hindi bollywood is a family drama film about Deepak. Story starts with Dr. Deepak (Uttam Kumar) who lives a wealthy lifestyle in a small town alongwith his father (Ashok Kumar) who is a Thakur. One day Deepak sees a gorgeous woman named Asha (Sharmila Tagore) who comes froma a very poor family. He falls in love with her and wants to marry her. When his father comes to know that Deepak loves Asha who is a poor girl and not for his type, he refuses for their marriage and would like to get Deepak to marry a woman from an equally wealthy family. But Deepak stands with his love which displeases Thakur. He asks Deepak to leave his house, never to return. After a few months his employee named Girdhari (Asit Sen) finds an abandoned child named Pratap, by the river bank. He would like to adopt him and therefore he asks Thakur.
Thakur does not want anything to do with the child first but when he sees him for the first time, he agrees with Girdhari. After many years later Pratap (Rakesh Roshan) has also grown up and travels abroad to study in order to be a doctor. After that he returns and decides to work with a chemical company. Later he meets with a beautiful woman named Kiran (Moushumi Chatterjee), her father (Utpal Dutt) and an elderly man named Doctor. Pratap is disturbed after meeting doctor as he seems to know him very well. Doctor wants him to leave his job at the chemical company and start practicing medicine in the small town where they live. Nobody knows that the doctor whose real name is Deepak, is his biological father.And thus story goes. Overall, movie is nice and enjoyable.It did well at Box office.
