Mere Jeevan Saathi (1972 film)

Mere Jeevan Saathi (My Life Partner) is a 1972 Indian film produced by Harish and Vinod Shah.

It is directed by Ravikant Nagaich, and it stars Rajesh Khanna, Tanuja, Sujit Kumar, Bindu, Helen,[2] Utpal Dutt, Nazir Hussain and Rajindranath.

Although the movie was an average grosser upon its release and received ambivalent reviews from viewers and critics but the soundtrack and songs became very popular and are evergreen.

"O Mere Dil Ke Chain" and "Chala Jata Hoon" are still very famous Kishore Kumar melodies from this film.

Princess Kamini (Helen) a playgirl introduces him to the glamour world and he changes his painting style to modern demands.

Jyoti's father (Nazir Hussain) visits Prakash with a bribe and is disgusted with his paintings of the female form and rejects him.

Captain Vinod goes to the hospital and asks Jyoti to visit his family home, where he has a friend in need of eye care.

While recuperating, Captain Vinod overhears them in the garden and Prakash stating that he wants to love her not as an invalid, but as a normal man.

Jerry Pinto says of the film that "Helen's cinematic seniority to the hero, Rajesh Khanna, added an edge to her pursuit of him.

"[3] David J. Weiner described Mere Jeevan Saathi as "a bizarre, unclassifiable Indian film with music, fantasy, special effects, violence, and flamboyant mise-en-scene.

A religious number, "Apno Ko Kab Hey Ram" and the playful "Chala Jata Hoon Kisi Ki Dhun Mein" strike different notes to prove the versatility of Kishore Kumar, who is at his liveliest in "O Mere Dil Ke Chain" and "Diwana Kar Ke Chodoge" with Lata Mangeshkar.
