Synopsis: Chandrashekhar (Shammi Kapoor) or Shekhar as he is called now, belongs to an aristrocratic family, who believe laughter is a sign of belonging to the lower class, and as a result laughter is not encouraged in the household, run by Shekhar's domineering mom (Lalita Pawar). In this household the only one who dares to laugh and enjoy life is Shekhar's sister Mala (Shashikala), who also dares to love Jeevan (Anoop Kumar). Things change when their mom finds out about Mala's indiscretions, and she asks Shekhar to take her away from their home, to distant and scenic Kashmir, for awhile. She also instructs Shekhar to arrange to get married to a girl from a princely family. When Shekhar escorts Mala out of town, and on reaching Kashmir, he meets up with beautiful Rajkumari (Saira Banoo), and after being stranded with her for a night during a snowstorm, he realizes what he has been missing, and becomes a care-free man in love. This change is welcomed by Mala, but not by his mother. To make matte

- Why get worked up?

I'm a Prince too. Your debt,

I will clear. Sooner or later.

Keep this for the time being.

...and you take this.

Hey mister... at least

return my wrist-watch!

Here's your necklace.

I might need it again.

The rest of your money

I'll pay after the wedding.

How much did the sword sell for?

- Hats off, Dad!

That idea of the sword really worked.

- Wasn't that a genius touch?

My father, after all.

Even before the wedding,

they give us gifts worth 25000.

Imagine how much of money

the family must have!

The wedding has been fixed

for the 15th of January.

Our worries end once that happens!

15th of January?

- Yes. The 15th of January.

Will our creditors remain

silent till then?

I've silenced them for the time being.

And look at this.

Shekhar's mother has sent

this necklace for you.

It's beautiful!

I wonder how many necklaces

I'll get after the wedding.

May I see it?

- Sure.

It can't be worth less than 15000.

I'll keep that necklace, father.

- No!

As your father, I have

every right to it.

Haven't you kept some

money for yourself?

I'm going to lose it if either of

you has it. I'll keep it with me.

See?

- What she says is right.

If the wedding does not take place,

we'll land in prison.

For need of funds, several

companies have closed down.

I have summoned you here to apprise

you of the condition of our company.

Do you know what state

our company is in?

Yes.

- My foot!

In view of our condition, I have

decided to give all of you a 3-month...

A 3-month notice?

- Without the job, we're dead.

I'm busy.

Call me after 2 minutes.

So where was I? Do you know what

state our company is in?

Well...

- You will never know.

In view of our condition, I've decided

to give all of you a 3-month bonus.

I have decided to open an office.

I might have to go there.

Where's your turban? Your turban?

- I'll get it at once, sir!

Insolent man! I'll kill him!

The turban, sir.

- On the head. Go on!

Put it on the head!

Whenever you serve us, make sure

you're wearing the turban.

Or we can't digest the food.

Understand?

Mala, suppose I told your mother

that you and I are man and wife...

what will happen?

- Nothing.

There'll be a gunshot.

And you'll lay suffering.

Because I'm a poor man?

I wish I were a millionaire! I wish

I had a bungalow and servants...

I'd say it loudly...

"Mala is mine"

Mala is mine!

Jeevan, what are you up to?

- Stretching exercises, dad.

Mind what exercises you do.

Lest you stretch out too far.

Maybe you'll never regain

your breath again. Understand?

Well? What do you want to say?

Mala is going astray.

I mean, she's still very young.

- We don't keep a count of age.

After the age of 5, children

and old men are all alike.

State clearly what you

are trying to tell us.

Your sister is treading on

grounds not worthy of her status.

She has fallen in love with someone.

- Love? In our family?

We can forgive anything.

But this crime we will never condone.

Who is it?

Tell me the name!

Your father had laid down

certain rules in the family.

He said we must not keep anything

a secret. We must reveal it.

But we must take no names,

lest it be considered a complaint.

You will have to tell us the name.

Do I have the permission? Am I to

break the rules of this family?

Not till I live will you break

the laws laid down by your father.

So how are we going

to decide this?

The onus of taking a decision lies

with the one who reveals the secret.

Manager...

- Very well, madam.

You are going to Kashmir in any case.

You had better take Malaji along too.

And advance the trip to an earlier date.

- How early?

Say the day after tomorrow?

- Oh no. We leave tomorrow!

Having spent a few months in Kashmir,

Mala will forget all this. For sure.

Who has asked you for an explanation?

Keep words to a minimum when

you say something to us.

Have you called me?

Manager, book two tickets on the

flight to Kashmir tomorrow morning.

Mala and Shekhar are going there.

- Kashmir?

Kashmir. 200 miles away from Jammu.

- But why will I go there?

Have I gone out of my mind?

People from all over the world go to

Kashmir. Are they out of their minds?

But what wrong have I done? Tell me!

This is a personal affair!

I wish there isn't

a sunset tomorrow!

What is it?

- Mr. Shekhar is waiting for you.

What for?

- We're going sight-seeing.

Tell him that I'm not going anywhere.

- Kashmir's a place...

aptly described by a poet. "If there

be a heaven anywhere on this earth..."

"it is here, here, here"

What if the heavens

all turned into hell?

What if the snow catches fire

and flowers take to the feet...

with just one voice resonating?

- What voice?

"Run away! Shekhar is here!

Escape from Shekhar"

Insolent girl! Why did you

throw a stone at me?

Wasn't a stone. It was a snowball.

- All right. Why did you throw it?

It was intended for the monkey

but it hit you.

Please forgive me.

- Forgive you, my foot!

Looks like your parents have

taught you no manners.

I made sure when I flung it.

- So how did it hit me?

Oh yes. It must've been confused

between you and the monkey.

Do I look like a monkey to you?

- How can I say that to your face?

You'd think I'm praising you.

- Insolent girl! Wait till I...

I told you not to mess with monkeys.

It has bitten you now, hasn't it?

I ran into an ape today.

- An ape?

How did it get to Kashmir?

- It has been brought here.

What a waste of money!

They bring an ape to Kashmir?

- To each his own, father.

You're wearing the old suit again?

- To each his own, dear.

My doll's getting old, father.

You promised me another, didn't you?

I now want to bring

a monkey into the family.

A monkey? What for?

You're growing up too, aren't you?

Father!
