Aas Ka Panchhi-1961 tte DVD

“Give every man the choice of his work and every woman
the choice of her love......”
“Aas ka Panchhi” unfolds on the screen the passion
filled tender tale of how a young man dreamt of big
things in life and how the love of a beautiful and
young girl inspired and helped him to achieve his
ambitions.
The story centres around three childhood friends,
Rajan, Ramesh and Mangal, in search of their
professional careers and, of course, life mates.
While Ramesh, who is intelligently guided by his
parents, gets everything rather easily in life (till
at the time of the narrative's final denouement he
learns that happiness and love are commodities that
are not very easily bought), Rajan has to overcome a
great deal of family prejudices before he can don an
army man's uniform and claim the hand of the girl he
loves. The girl's father is his officer; it is easy to
win over the girl, but it is more difficult to
persuade the father to give him his daughter's hand,
especially since Rajan joins the army as a mere
soldier.
Mangal, who falls in love with a rather plump daughter
of a sweet-meat seller, evolves his own formula of
love and happiness, in which the convenience of today
is more important than the prospects of tomorrow.
And so the three friends, with their own ideas of love
and life, their problems overlapping each other's, go
through their respective lives till the shattering
powerful battlefield climax in which Rajan proves that
the only important thing for a man-is to act like a
man!
And Neena, who had in her own quiet way loved Rajan,
looked after the family and prayed for his success, is
happy when she sees the frustrated young man change
into a confident hero of the battlefield.
All the world loves a lover and when the story ends on
a happy note with Rajan and Neena stepping out of
their cloudy past into a sun-kissed future, the two
friends Ramesh and Mangal have smiles on their faces.
For, so rare, indeed, and fortunate are the instances
in life where a man gets the job he wants-and the girl
gets the man she loves !
And, indeed, equally rare, is a film like “Aas Ka
Panchhi” in which you will see and experience all that
you have ever wanted to see and experience in a good
motion picture.
