For ages to come, people would not be able to forget S. D. Burman's classic- "Mere Sapno Ki Rani". This song has a magical impact on the viewers. A romantic Rajesh Khanna trying to voo a beautiful Sharmila while latter is in a train and former is on a jeep running parallel to the tracks. Since then, many actors have tried this in one or another way, including Ajay Devgan in an action sequence in Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, but never had that impact.
Arun (Rajesh Khanna) who is an Airforce officer falls in love with Vandana. They marry informally without Arun's family's knowledge. Due to call of duty, Arun leaves and later dies on front. A pregnant Vandana is not accepted by her in-laws. Dejected, Vandana gives birth to a child who is adopted by a generous but childless couple. The couple readily accept her as child's caretaker. It serves purpose for both parties. As the fate would have designed, a relative of the couple tries of molest and the child unintentionally kills him to protect her. Vandana owns up the crime and goes to child. Would the mother and son ever unite?
Shakti Samanta gave another blockbuster that had a good story, fine performances and brilliant music. Remake of 1942 Hollywood classic To Each His Own, Aradhana is a case study for people who appreciate good remakes. Aradhana takes into account the Indian sensibilities and portrays characters beautifully.
