Simple but touching story. A rich brother and sister. Brother's friend (Satyen) visits them and romance is just about to burgeon. But the girl has some psychological issues, her mom was abused by the drunk father. So she does not reciprocate. There is also a nice housemaid girl who gets impregnated by the lecher brother. The brother refuses to take any responsibility. A somewhat slow Bholu, a servant in the house bravely marries the maid to make the society happy. The brother leaves the town.

Satyen is determined to see to it that the maid gets her legitimate status. He confronts the brother.

After some friction and misunderstandings, everything gets sorted out. Everyone except Bholu, the guy who was big hearted to play the husband goes back to being the servant.

A very nice Kishore Kumar song "chanda ki kiranon se lipti hawayen". I S Johar's comedy is hilarious and also profound at times. It's not just slapstick comedy. This actor was really talented.

Other actors are somewhat obscure and not mainstream but they do a decent job in my opinion.

It looks like this is based on Satyajit Ray's Bengali movie. Very simple but interesting story. A wife starts working at the behest of her husband because her in-laws and sister-in-law have moved into their home. They need to augment their income so reluctantly, the wife agrees to work. Slowly, she becomes good at her job and starts earning a decent salary. But the father-in-law, being old-fashioned does not like his now working daughter-in-law. He believes that women should stay home. Later, the husband loses his job. He and his father get even more upset and frustrated and start picking on the lady. Things become bad but soon a small climax happens and everything is sorted out. This prejudice against woman working vanishes and everyone is happy. Direction is amazing. A very simple, middle-class dwelling, simple family. Their attire, language, furniture in the house perfectly reflects a middle-class family. Actors are just amazing. Rakhee is the best. Parikshit Sahni, A. K. Hangal and Deena Pathak are great too. Madan Puri shines in his small role. Biswajit and Helen play roles which are different from their usual mold. The movie is entertaining, interesting. Gives a powerful message. Perfectly made. That's why it gets 10/10 from me!

Actors are bad. Story is weak. Dialogues are dull and boring. Not very convincing plot. Gang war, don, hero losing wife and kid in a blast, infiltrator, love affair etc. You get the gist pretty quickly. The loud mouth guy who owns a posh yacht is a totally misplaced character.He keeps making noise about being the king of Mumbai. Keeps sending some dud assassins to kill his rivals and always fails. How can such a guy be worth anything? And then the hero comes and kills him like killing a fly. No conflict, no fight, nothing! A very pathetic subplot. The usual ugly, bearded, scary looking terrorists are shown as dumb as a doorknob. Ram Gopal Verma should stop making movies and find something else to do. Extremely weak and predictable plot. In order to show the hero to be tha master, they shown the rest of crew to be so stupid that the whole story becomes laughable. There is one encounter man. Without establishing him as anyone worthy, they have shown him running around naked, being chased by the hero, then grabbing a saree from a mannequin and trying to put it on. All very poorly done. Stay away from this movie.
