Do Raaste is a 1969 directed by Raj Khosla. It stars Rajesh Khanna as the dutiful son and Mumtaz as his love interest. Balraj Sahni and Kamini Kaushal play the eldest son and his wife. Prem Chopra plays the wayward son with Bindu as his wife who creates disputes.
The story was based on the trials and tribulations of a lower-middle-class family. It placed emphasis on respect for elders, the paramount status of the mother, the sanctity of the joint family and the supremacy of relations that are stronger than ties of blood.
Storyline
I love films that give knowledge into the issues and worries of the time during which it was made. This is one of them, where a family is torn separated when its individuals are gotten between old practices and blossoming unfamiliar impacts.
In spite of the fact that Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz are ostensibly the legend and courageous woman, the film truly has a place with the entire outfit cast. Most importantly, Balraj Sahni shows why he is viewed as one of the extraordinary entertainers in Hindi film and Veena sparkles as the family matron.
Narendu (Balraj Sahni) is the top of a family that incorporates his stepmother Mrs. Gupta (Veena); more youthful stepbrothers Viju (Prem Chopra) and Satyen (Rajesh Khanna); stepsister Geeta (Kumud Bole); and his own significant other Madhavi (Kamini Kaushal) in addition to their two kids Raju (Jr. Mehmood) and Guddi.
Narendu's dad has since a long time ago died, yet the family stay as affectionate as though they were close family members, and live respectively as one. Narendu has endeavored to really focus on and instruct every one of them, as he had guaranteed his dad he would do.
Satyen goes to a neighborhood school, where he meets and experiences passionate feelings for the lively Reena (Mumtaz).
This requires up the initial 45 minutes or so of the film, until Viju gets back with a Science certificate from a college in Britain. The story then changes from cheerful sentiment to family show.
Narendu has acquired cash to pay for Viju's schooling and presently fantasies about having the option to take it somewhat simple since Viju can have a steady employment and offer the weight. At the point when Viju returns, he brings gifts for the entire family.
In Britain, Viju has fallen head over heels for individual understudy Neela (Bindu) — who is Reena's sister — and not long after returning, they get hitched. Neela and Reena's aggressive guardians Allopi (Asit Sen) and Bhagwanti (Leela Mishra) are not glad regardless of being wealthy. Bhagwanti offers Neela some guidance before her wedding: don't live with all your better half's family members.
Be that as it may, obliging Viju's desires, Neela moves into the Gupta family in any case. Inconvenience starts very quickly. There's little protection:
At the point when Neela disposes of the multitude of old goods and puts in new, costly things it unsettles Mrs. Gupta and Satyen's plumes. Narendu attempts to streamline things by obliging Neela's desires, however she and Satyen fight further when she chides Raju and Guddi for screwing with "her" radio.
Stung by her self centered demeanor, Satyen fights back by moving every last bit of "her" new things into hers and Viju's room.
[Side note: Raj Khosla coordinated this, in spite of the fact that it's not his standard secret spine chiller. I love the manner in which he generally approaches scenes such that makes the watcher into a voyeur: glancing through a window, or into a mirror's appearance, or a peephole.
(Side note to the side note: the covers above are from the beautiful "Bindiya Chamkegi" which is one of my unsurpassed most loved Mumtaz melodies. End side note to the side note.)
End side note.]
Viju and Satyen fight about Neela's oppressiveness. Narendu and Madhvi are trapped in the center. For harmony, they beg Satyen to apologize and he does, however the strain is still there. Mrs. Gupta cautions Narendu that allowing Neela to pull off her activities will misfire. I love that she doesn't energize his generous ways!
Neela's best course of action is to assume responsibility for Viju's month to month pay; she quits assisting Narendu with taking care of the advance for Viju's English instruction. At the point when she permits a few visiting companions to accept that Madhavi and Geeta are workers, it's the straw that broke the camel's back for Satyen.
Neela then turns her noxious tongue on Mrs. Gupta, which even Madhavi and Narendu can't endure. Neela quickly takes advantage of her opportunity to request that Viju and she get their own condo, and Viju caves.
As Narendu sits tragically by his darling gramophone (which Neela had ousted to his room from the primary lobby, for her radio), Viju and Neela move out lock, stock and barrel under the full concentrations eyes of Narendu's dad (and the mirror, see side note above).
As though this weren't sufficiently terrible, everything goes south.
Around the same time that Narendu loses his employment, Viju is elevated to Senior supervisor of his organization and sets up a major party. The family finds out about it from their neighbor Khan (Jayant), yet are not welcomed. Mrs. Gupta is frustrated at the affront to Narendu particularly:
Then, at that point, the cash moneylender comes thumping at the entryway, and he allows Narendu seven days to take care of the advance or lose the house. This upsets Mrs. Gupta such a lot of that she turns out to be sick. Her clinical costs add to Narendu's concerns.
As he offers off the family's possessions to cover bills, Viju and Neela spend their nights in dance club. Neela proceeds with her mission against his family and toxins Viju's psyche further against Narendu.
As the title tune puts it: you should pick either the sanctuary and the bar.
What will occur? Will Narendu lose the family home? Will Satyen and Reena's adoration make due? Will Viju at any point awaken to what's significant throughout everyday life? Is Neela hopelessly awful? Watch Do Raaste to find out.
It's anything but an ideal film. Neela, upon whom the deterioration of the family rotates, runs over more as actually self centered and avaricious than affected that way by her time in the west, which to some degree debilitates the message. Yet, the film generally maintains a strategic distance from the offensively hostile to western generalizations that this class frequently upholds; and it's fascinating that a few western thoughts are embraced by more established characters (particularly Bhagwanti and somewhat Mrs. Gupta) for whom customary ways didn't work.
The string running all through which resolves the issue of family ties itself is more grounded, albeit less convincing. The end weakens to some degree into drama as well, and sorts itself out excessively suddenly. In any case, solid exhibitions and the subtleties in the story make this film stick out.terrible?
It's anything but an ideal film. Neela, upon whom the breaking down of the family rotates, goes over more as actually egotistical and eager than impacted that way by her time in the west, which to some degree debilitates the message. In any case, the film for the most part stays away from the obnoxiously hostile to western generalizations that this sort frequently embraces; and it's fascinating that a few western thoughts are supported by more seasoned characters (particularly Bhagwanti and somewhat Mrs. Gupta) for whom customary ways didn't work.
The string running all through which resolves the issue of family ties itself is more grounded, albeit less convincing. The end crumbles fairly into drama as well, and sorts itself out excessively unexpectedly. In any case, solid exhibitions and the subtleties in the story make this film stick out.
