            Terrific movie with a socially conscious story and great performance by Shammi Kapoor.

            Synopsis: Brahmachari was a poor young orphan who grew up to start a home for other orphan children. A struggling photographer trying to support the children. Once in awhile, with the help of the kids, manages to extract money from the landlord next door who keeps trying to sell his plot. But the prospective buyers always run away when they hear the noise made by the children. This makes for some hilarious scenes.

            Life goes on this way for Brahmachari and his kids until one day he meets Rajshree who is about to commit suicide because the rich playboy she was betrothed to and is in love with will not marry her. So our Brahmachari brings her back promising to transform her into the kind of beauty rich playboy (Pran) would fall in love with.

            What happens when brahmachari realizes he has fallen in love for the first time? Will he let her go to rich playboy? What happens when he realizes that he has to choose between his love and his children? Watch to see what happens.

            Review: Brahmachari is thoroughly entertaining movie with all the necessary ingredients: laughs, drama, romance and fighting. The kids are a riot to watch. The best scene in the movie is when one of the kids does an impression of mehmood in the classic song by mukesh, Hum kale hai to kya hua, dilwale hai. The music is also wonderful. The most notable being the immensly popular Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar ke Charche as well as the touching Main gaaon tum so jaao. Rajshree doesn't have too much to do in the film, but is decent. Pran is well Pran, reliably evil as always. Mumtaz is good. The movie is Shammir Kapoor all the way. Giving the best performances of his career, he got the best actor award for this film.

            In conclusion, Brahmachari is wonderful movie for the whole family. Definately recommended especially for the Aaj kal tere mere pyar song and Shammi Kapoor's performance.

            Nice movie movie also to be seen

            A good movie among the movies where children are also given importance here its orphan children sometimes orphans are not the way they should should in orphanages but here this isnt really a orphanage but is kind of one.anyway I recommend it also rajashree was a beautiful heroine of hindi movies in those times a thumbs up to the movie. Shami Kapoor too good. Among movie when some children also share centre stage not always the macho ect type of heroes.

            A wonderful movie experience

            Do I need to say something about the movie and it's story? NO Do I need to say something about Shammi Kapoor & his acting? NO Do I need to say something about Music & Songs? NO

            Watch and experience yourself.

            I want to share just one information here; this movie has won 6 Filmfare awards at the 1969 award function: 1) G.P.Sippy for Best Film, 2) Sachin Bhowmick for Best Story, 3) Shankar Jakishan for Best Music, 4) Shailendra for Best Lyricist, 5) Mohd.Rafi for Best Palyback Singer (Male) and 6) Shammi Kapoor for Best Actor.

              The song "Aajkal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche" , is usually thought to be sung by Lata Mangeshkar but it was in fact sung by Suman Kalyanpur. The confusion results from the fact that the quality of Suman Kalyanpur's voice is similar to Lata Mangeshkar's at times.
