Aansoo Aur Muskan

Kishore Kumar humored the audience with a stunning performance in a comic villain roll. The girl child in possession of a prize winning lottery ticket is incessantly chased by several villains. The child (Bobby) also gave a great performance with some spontaneous shots. The song (Gunijano) by Kishore Kumar has fantastic lyrics and is one of the rarest songs. The picture has a message that a majority of the people are after the money but there is still goodness around. This picture is hardly seen on any of the Hindi movie channels. It certainly is a collector's choice. If one can lay one's hands on a CD or DVD one must watch. It will be a great fun. I am not sure if the child artiste in the lead roll is same as Bobby Deol. I watched this movie at the time of its release in 1970 and would love to rewatch it but unfortunately I could not access its CD or DVD in my neighborhood.

It is a movie with good storyline by B. Bala Murugan and is also entertaining. Music by Kalyanji Ananji was excellent. Two songs in the film were superb, the most popular one being 'Gunijano Bhaktajano' sung by Kishor Kumar and written by Qamar Jalalabadi and the other one being 'Tare Toota Karte Hain' from Lata Mangeshkar, were a treat to listen. The movie carried a lesson, about how most of the people in the world are after money and can go to any extent to grab the opportunity to steal somebody else's money. Acting by Bobby, the child star and Om Prakash was touching, even David left a mark as usual. This movie can easily go into one's 'Movies to be seen' list. It is one of the typical Hindi movies made by a South Indian producer for entire family to see.
