Love Story

Way back, when I was a mere school kid, seven-eight member of my family went to see this movie at Ramakrishna 70mm Hyderabad. 'Houseful showed the sign. My grandma used all her resources to manage just two tickets. So the oldest member, grandma, and the youngest member, me, saw the movie.

And what a movie it proved to be.

Hero sitting in the middle of a river in an easy chair, fishing. He taming the shrew. The shrew, going by the name Vijeta Pundit, now wants a house in a garden by the lake. And the back-story.

Wait a minute. Add naughty Aruna Irani. Add in-great-form RD Burman. Bring in Amit Kumar - son of the late Kishore Kumar - as the fresh voice of the biggest debuting star ever, Kumar Gaurav. What we get is a blockbuster.

But hold your breath. There is a very big surprise coming. Amjad Khan. As never before.

You can't even blink start to finish.

But the titles didn't mention the directors' name. The movie didn't make itself. More backstory.

Review by Hemant Singh

After BOBBY(1973) which sort of started a trend of youth romantic films Many romantic films started taking precedence

LOVE STORY Directed by legendary Rajendra Kumar to launch his son Kumar Gaurav and Vijayata Pandit

The film is typical love story but it's very entertaining especially how the couple escape and then the clash of egos, the way the couple realise they are in love and the climax

There is also a comic track of Amjad Khan who is hilarious

Direction by Rajendra Kumar is good Music was a big asset

Kumar Gaurav(real name Manoj Rajendra Tuli) did a good job playing Bunty though he does seem too awkward in scenes yet he suits his part Vijayata Pandit is good too in her role though her voice annoys Danny Denzongpa is superb and Rajendra Kumar is as usual Amjad Khan is hilarious
