Country : India
Summary :
Ashok Mehra, played by Rajesh Khanna, is a wealthy industrialist, whose business produces cosmetic products. He is happily married to Purnima, played by Rekha,
but she suffers complications after giving birth to their daughter, and
the doctors are not able to save her life, leaving Ashok devastated. He
is able to pull himself together and rediscover his will to live only
because of his obligation to his daughter, Mini.
Several years pass, and Ashok is able to resume his life as normal, except that he is unable to handle Mini’s (played now by Baby Shabana)
envious pining for a mother to love her the way other children’s
mothers love them. He is forced to lie to satisfy her, saying that it is
possible that her mother will return from “God’s house”.
Eventually, Mini becomes frustrated with waiting for her mother to
return to her, and her behavior degrades severely, to the point that no
school is willing to teach her, nor is any governess willing to deal
with her.
Meanwhile, Ashok’s business, while fairly successful, is unable to
adequately compete with foreign cosmetics companies, because of their
general superiority to Indian companies in the way of advertising. He
hires Raj Bedi, a successful photographer in the modeling industry, played by Raj Babbar,
to run his new advertising campaign. Mr. Bedi willingly accepts, as
Ashok is one of few Indian businessmen willing to pay Bedi’s steep
prices. Mr. Bedi finds a beautiful woman, named Radha, also played by Rekha, while scouting for model at the beach.
At first, Radha is reluctant, but eventually Mr. Bedi is able to
convince her to model for him in the Ashok Mehra campaign. Over the
course of the project, the two fall in love, and eventually wed. Because
Ashok Mehra’s model has now become his wife, Mr. Bedi is unwilling to
give him the photos, and sells all of his personal possessions to
arrange for the cost of backing out of the contract. Mr. Bedi’s
reputation is ruined by Ashok as a result of this incomplete project,
and his career takes a nosedive.
In time, Mr. Bedi is able to build a modest, but decent life for
Radha and himself by taking on small jobs. However, even this modest
life is threatened when Mr. Bedi, in going to extreme lengths to take
the best photos possible for a particular project, suffers a crippling
fall. Radha decides to take on a job in order to run the house and save
money for her husband’s treatment, but no one is willing to hire a
married woman, whose primary focus will be her husband rather than her
job. Eventually, she decides she is willing to lie about her marital
status to get a job. Her job search leads her to Ashok Mehra’s office,
where his associates are looking for a governess for Mini. She is
offered the position instantly based on her uncanny resemblance to the
late Mrs. Purnima Mehra, although this fact is hidden from her; his
business manager, Shakur Ahmed, played by Madan Puri,
simply tells her that he has a great feeling about her. Unwilling at
first, holding Mr. Mehra responsible for her and her husband’s current
situation, she is forced to accept the position, because Ashok’s
associates are offering her far more money than she can make anywhere
else.
At first, Mini displays her usual poor behavior, but after watching
Radha’s perseverance through her antics and devotion to her, and finally
realizing that her mother will never return, Mini comes to feel that
the void left by her mother has been filled. Even Ashok begins to feel
that the void in his life is similarly being filled, and, being unaware
that Radha is married, falls in love with her.
As the relation between Radha and Mini grows beyond a professional
one, and as Radha continues to keep her bedridden husband in the dark as
to the details of her job, Mr. Bedi begins to suspect his wife’s
marital integrity. Ashok’s attempts to grow closer to Radha, and Bedi’s
interloping friend Chandu, played by Asrani,
only serve to add to his suspicions. After a heated confrontation
between Ashok, Mr. Bedi, and Radha, her and Mini’s relationship comes to
an abrupt end.
Ashok is unable to handle his obligation as a father to quell Mini’s
obvious frustration with being deprived, once again, of a mother’s love,
and sends her to live in a hostel. Another confrontation occurs between
Radha and Ashok, and the two parties officially sever all ties.
Feeling guilty for judging Radha as selfish, and feeling a sense of
obligation to her for giving his daughter a mother’s love, Ashok learns
that a lottery ticket that Radha had purchased through him has won the
jackpot, and sends Shakur Ahmed to deliver her prize on his behalf. The
lottery winnings are enough to pay for Mr. Bedi to be treated in
America. Ashok meets the couple at the airport, and misconceptions
between the three are cleared up. The movie ends with Ashok taking
advantage of a delay in the Bedis’ flight to arrange for the adoption of
Mini by Mr. and Mrs. Bedi, as he is unable to give her the love she
desires and deserves. The last line of the movie is delivered painfully
by Ashok Mehra, directed at both of Rekha’s characters: “I Loved you once, but lost you twice.”
