Jeene Ki Raah

Jeene Ki Raah (1969) : Brief Review -

Finally, a beautiful love triangle with a new twist. Jeene Ki Raah is a remake of the Telugu film Bratuku Teruvu (1953), starring ANR and Savitri-both big names. The Hindi version has changed a few things here and there and has got the soul right. Jeetendra plays Mohan, an MSc passout who struggles to get a job. We have this evergreen cliche that in order to get a job or to get a rented house, one has to either fake his marriage or hide his marriage. Here, Mohan has to hide it. However, the situation becomes difficult when his boss' ill daughter falls in love with him and he cannot leave her alone due to her medical condition. He is there for her as a friend, but she sees a lover in him, unaware of the fact that he is married. As expected and as we all know, sooner or later the family members would know about it, and then Mohan will be at fault from both ends. It's predictable but very interesting. Mohan's wife is too simple and great to give away her husband for someone else, and then Radha realises what she cannot have. The love triangle, or say, quartet, which also includes Mohan's dear friend who is in love with Radha, has a few loose ends but never looks impossible. The songs are evergreen. Aane Se Uske Aaye Bahaar is a chartbuster, Aa Mere Hamjoli has one of the best choreography, throught process, and execution for any hide and seek song (watch out for Tanuja's dance moves and expression throughout the song), Ek Banjara Gaye is another hit number, Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage is melodious, and Chanda Ko Dhundne is a Lori turn into a meaningful song. Such a great music album it is by Nan other than Laxmikant-Pyarelal! L. V. Prasad has handled the remake very well. This is how you remake a film. He used every aspect carefully, be it storyline, screenplay, actors, music, and locations. The film is over, but I am still grinning, man!

RATING - 7/10*

Possibly the best movie of Jeetendra!

PLOT

Jeetendra, a village boy just out of college, is married to Anjali. He is in city in search of a job but there isn't any! Tanuja is a wheel chair bound girl! Whose father hires Jeetendra on condition that Jeetendra should not be married. Tanuja falls in love with Jeetendra and the feelings seems to be mutual. Tanuja recovers with Jeetendra's encouragement. What will be next? Will she discover that he is married? Or will he come out of his marriage? Is he a lier?

DIRECTION AND ACTING

Everyone is competent and does job well. Frankly, there are flaws in script an plot, but one does not notice while watching movie, not until one starts analyzing the flaws would surface. This is because the direction and acting is good and so the editing, leaving very little scope for audience to think while watching the movie. The run time is to enjoy and thats what this movie precisely does.

As a matter of fact, when you discover in the opening scene that Jeetendra is married to an unknown face and Tanuja is yet to come

SONGS AND MUSIC Music is very good the songs "Aane se jiske aaye bahaar, jaane se jiske jaaye bahaar...", "Chanda ko dhundane sabhi taare nikal pare...", "Ek banjara gaaye..." are very good.

Overall the movie is enjoyable - my rating is 9.5/10 as I could see it again and again....

This is a good classic Movie with a mixture of Five genres : Romance, Drama, Comedy, Action, Classic I really like the Acting it's a very old movie but still Good sound and picture quality the story is about Mohan, who is A Married Man and wants a Job, after working hard He finds A job at Mr Ray and He lied to Him that He's unmarried and Daughter of Mr Ray does Romance with Mohan and He starts living an Uncomfortable Life between Family and His Boss's Daughter Watch the movie to know what happens.
