Tere Ghar Ke Samne

Ver well written. Superbly shot and edited. Terrific performance s, especially by Nutan and Om Prakash. Immensely enjoyable song picturisation. Even the climax comes in a superbly picturised and edited song. Timeless. Not much you can suggest to better it, even today.

You sometimes have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, and over the years I've fidgeted through more than my fair share of Bollywood Blockbusters in the interest of film scholarship as they interminably stretched on and on into the small hours of the morning on Channel 4; usually taking an absolute eternity to tell a very simple story. The songs to me all sound alike, so I just fast forward through them. But as a stuffy Brit, I was never the audience these films were meant for in the first place...

However, my diligence paid off about twenty years ago when I stumbled across this beauty, which I absolutely loved! Even more remarkably it actually contains a song which I'm capable of humming! It's called 'Dil Ki Manzil', a vibrant cabaret number sung by Asha Bhosle and performed on screen by a statuesque young dancer named Helga.

Ironically, because of it's age - and it's in black & white - most of my Hindi co-workers have either never seen it or are only very vaguely aware of it. But it certainly gets my vote!

"Tere Ghar Ke Saamne" is a Hindi romantic comedy film directed by Vijay Anand. The movie was released in 1963 and starred Dev Anand and Nutan in the lead roles.

The story revolves around Rakesh (Dev Anand), a talented architect, and Sulekha (Nutan), a wealthy heiress. Rakesh dreams of constructing a modern building in the heart of Mumbai but faces obstacles due to his rivalry with Seth Karamchand (Om Prakash), Sulekha's father. However, fate brings Rakesh and Sulekha together when she hires him to design a house for her. As they work together on the project, their initial conflicts turn into friendship, and eventually, love blossoms between them.

One of the notable aspects of the film is its delightful blend of romance and comedy. Dev Anand delivers a charismatic performance as the charming and witty Rakesh, while Nutan portrays Sulekha's character with grace and elegance. Their on-screen chemistry is captivating and adds depth to their characters' evolving relationship.

The film's screenplay is well-written, with a good balance between light-hearted moments and emotional depth. The dialogues are witty and humorous, keeping the audience engaged throughout. The music by S. D. Burman is another highlight of the movie, with memorable songs like "Dil Ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar" and "Aye Meri Zohra Jabeen."

Vijay Anand's direction brings out the charm of Mumbai, capturing its bustling streets and iconic landmarks. The film's colorful cinematography and well-choreographed dance sequences enhance its visual appeal.

Overall, "Tere Ghar Ke Saamne" is a delightful romantic comedy that still holds its charm today. The performances, engaging storyline, and memorable music make it an enjoyable watch for fans of classic Hindi cinema.

Though not very different from the many hindi love stories, this movie will always be remembered for its music. The songs mostly sung by Lata and Rafi are molodius and naughty. Dev Anand has Nutan opposite him for change and they work charm together. If you are a Dev Anand fan, do not miss this movie; if you are not, this movie has the potential to make you one.

This is a Hindi language film starring the charismatic on-screen couple of Dev Anand and Nutan.

An amazing wholesome family entertainer indeed! The film falls under the romantic comedy genre. And the romance is equally cherishable with the on-screen chemistry of the lead couple. As is the comedy led by Om Prakash and Harindranath Chattopadhyay. The film has an undertone of a great message encouraging friendly relations among neighbours.

How an architect walks the thin line of building a home for his father and his (unknowingly) his arch enemy (who also happens to be his love interest's father) promises for an entertaining plot.

Add to that the music that lives on till today and excellent performances by all the support cast to boot ensures you have nothing to complain about after watching a perfect film. Hats off to writer - director Vijay Anand whom his brother Dev rightly considered a genius.

Enjoy!
