Kahani Kismat Ki (1973) :
Brief Review -
Conspiracies of fate! Kahani Kismat Ki has a title song that keeps playing continuously on many occasions and defines the narrative in a unique way. It's the story of destiny, fate, which cheats a man, and he has to wait until it switches the results. The film is about Ajit (Dharmendra), who is a robber and is soon caught and sentenced to 2 years in jail. After coming out, he decides to be an honest man as his mother wished and finds a job at a wealthy businessman's house. He falls in love with his boss' daughter, Rekha (played by Rekha), and her father is against this marriage. However, he agrees to their marriage, but there is a big conspiracy behind it. Ajit learns about suffering from blood cancer and decides to go against his nature for the better future of his family members and Rekha. But was that all true? Ajit isn't aware of what's going on and why, and then the pre-climax portion reveals all those things. The screenplay takes the title very seriously, as you see many events are driven by fate, including the climax. The reel being taken by a black kite, the smart doggie, the camera under Lord Shankara's idol, the doctor's secret, and Rekha's past-there are so many scenes that hang on the string of fate and destiny and end with human touch. Dharmendra looks damn handsome here, and the director also attempts to justify that. The first scene when Rekha bumps into him and she has lost her heart. The teasing, flirting all is so beautiful, and then we have the super hit "Rafta Rafta" in Kishore Kumar's energetic voice, and even that small "Maine aise to nahi kaha tha" in female voice is damn cute. Rekha is too young to be judged according to her standard, which she set later on. Ajit makes a fantastic villain, and Arjun Hingorani's writing and direction are both fine. As a whole, it spins too much round and round but makes a good entertaining watch.
RATING - 6/10*
