Radha (Usha Kiron) is a poor girl struggling to make a living for herself and her ailing father. A young man, Nirmal (Dev Anand) helps her to find a good job and the two of them are beginning to fall in love, when disaster strikes. Radha’s evil landlord takes advantage of her inability to pay the rent – she pleads for more time and the man lures her to his house and molests her. She is shattered and on the verge of suicide when another man, Mastram (Agha) saves her and takes her home where she has a baby. When she tries to get back to her old job, she’s refused a place and asks to see the manager. To her horror, this is none other than Nirmal. This black and white classic has probably the most memorable ever soundtrack from Shankar – Jaikishen. Shailendra’s lyrics sparkle in their settings – every one of the songs is a little gem. The Hemant Kumar – Lata Mangeshkar duet ‘Yaad Kiya Dil Ne Kahaan Ho Tum’ is still one of the most romantic numbers ever picturised. Dev Anand is at his whimsical best, Usha Kiron is ethereal in the moonlight. This is romance at its best.
