Meena goes home, relieved. Perhaps her life will not fall apart, after all. Mahesh goes off to his hometown [in a train, as I mentioned, that actually manages to cross a river without plunging into it].
So Meena gives birth to a son, and they live for a few months with the daai. Then one day, out of the blue, the daai drops dead in the street. [The absence of coughing and sighing weakly, in the case of Leela Chitnis, is apparently no guarantee that her character will last till the end of the movie]. Meena and her baby are suddenly all alone and adrift in the world.
But, I digress. This was an interesting enough film. Predictable in some ways, and not in others, especially in the way it laid stress on the fact that a child should not be held responsible for the deeds of its parents. More on that, below.
Madhu,
One enduring surprise in such films is that it takes only one encounter to get pregnant! But on a serious note, the film was far ahead of its times. Now the society is coming to a position that children are never illegitimate. This movie took that position several decades ago.
LOL! Or Graameen Bhaiyon ke Liye. :-D I remember, back in the 80s, when TV time was so restricted, my sister and I were reduced to watching just about anything that came on TV. Even those multicoloured stripes that would appear a few minutes before the telecast would start.
woh din yaad karo, woh doordarshan ka dekhna, woh antenna ka adjust karna, woh Dhool Ka Phool ko Sunday ko dekhna aur bore hona, woh din yaad karo. Hee! Hee! Do I need to say anything else? Yes I do, your review Madhu was far more entertaining than the film
Now that was a great pleasure, reading through your review, and chuckling. :-D
I like this film quite well. It has a story and takes you along while being engrossed.
And the songs are lovely. All of them. I even like aha uhun lalalalalaaa :-D
Oh, okay. I had completely forgotten this song. It was only when I again began to listen to Dhadakne lage dil ke taaron ki duniya that I caught on to what that aha uhun lalalalalaaa meant.
Sorry to have disappointed you. For me, Tu mere pyaar ka phool hai was okay, not worth really mentioning. But yes, good of you to have mentioned it (and to have shown the contrast with Tu mere saath rahega munne.
