Pyar Ki Kahani

Amitabh Bachchan has a come a long way since this movie but the charisma was already there when this movie was filmed.

Amitabh plays Ram is just another peon in a big company in south India. Although he originally is from North he has made his peace with the change in culture and his work though he still craves for the food from back home and never misses a chance to have it. He portrays a man who is more than generous for his social stature. This is because although he is ably qualified and from a well to do family, he has to work as a peon in absence of a job more appropriate to his qualifications, or is it? Enter Ravi, a docile introvert who is on the verge of suicide when Ram meets him. Ram helps put a roof on Ravi's head and gets him a job and everything is going great. They are the best of friends almost like brothers.

Meanwhile Ram's parents arrange his marriage to Kusum (Tanuja) who is what all hardly-20 girls are, alive with energy and innocent. Ram is very excited about the arrangement and is longing to meet Kusum but when Ravi sees her photograph he does not approve of the match at all. This puts Ram in a fix and he makes him think about Ravi's life before they met.

The suspense opens after a lot of dilly dallying and climax is really fast for the smooth sailing story.

This is one of the first movies of Amitabh Bachchan but he did show all colors of becoming a super star. His scenes demand attention towards him.

A worth watch for all Bachchan fans.
