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

Aren't you ashamed to call

a grown up man, a child?

We don't take offense at what

people in the world say, my child.

Child again! I could be

your father, understand?

But I consider you no older

than a teething baby.

Hey midget! Why invite trouble

so early in the day?

I'm here to warn you, my child.

Your sister's stars are

at loggerheads.

She's seriously ill.

Do not try to hide it from me...

or you will go blind!

How do you know?

- Calm down, my child.

Your stars are fighting

between themselves too.

There's this girl who keeps

haunting you all the time.

Remember, she's going to make you

eat out of her hands.

That's impossible!

- Do you want to fight God?

So what's going to happen?

Let me have some money.

I'll give you a solution, my child.

Not this much!

I want only Rs. 1.25

That's like a good boy.

Now listen. You will have to

go to Sheshnag, my child.

In the old temple there, you will

have to pray for 15 days.

What happens then, Holy Sire?

- You will be redeemed, my child.

Here I go then!

- Wait... where to?

Pay your respects to this first.

You now have it made, my child!

Lion or crow, I have him

where I want him!

My child! Sit up!

You have it made, my child!

Where is the doctor?

- He's away the big hospital.

The big hospital?

What for?

Sheshnag is said to be reeling

under a severe storm.

A lot of people have died.

- God! How could this happen?

Raj! Listen!

My child! Stop there!

There's danger ahead.

Holy Sire! Is that really you?

Or is your voice echoing in my ears?

I'm always with you, my child.

- So why don't you come before me?

I will, when the need arises.

Right now, you can only

listen to my voice.

Do not go to Sheshnag now.

The stars foretell that a

storm is going to break out.

Your life is in danger.

Should you venture forth even then,

you will never return.

Return immediately.

So it's you, my child!

I'll surely go ahead now!

And you will go with me too!

I will show you the consequences

of playing such a joke!

I'm sorry about that. But there's

really a great storm in Sheshnag.

Please don't go there.

Your life could be in danger.

You aren't letting me live in

peace here anyway! Let's go!

Let go of my hand!

You're a decent man.

You know I can't go with you.

But you can throw snowballs

at a man, can you?

You can make his life miserable...

- Why don't you understand?

I'm my father's only daughter.

What would you get out of my death?

So tell me you're a coward!

- Okay, I'm a coward.

My dad's a coward. And my

grandfather was a coward too.

Listen to me, please.

I'll never misbehave again.

Let's return now.

Or the two of us will die.

I beg at your feet.

- Go ahead.

Remember! Those who laugh,

also have to cry.

Get it, "my child"?

C'mon!

Get up and have some tea.

- Go out first... go on.

I don't want any tea.

I want food.

This is the limit! Aliju hasn't

packed any spoons with the food!

What do you want to eat?

The food? Or the spoons and plates?

You're misbehaving again?

I won't eat with you!

Don't. I'm hungry.

I'm going to eat.

Why stand there and look at me?

Eat, if you're hungry.

Do you think I'll die

if I don't eat for a day?

Chances of surviving are bleak.

Death is more likely.

Wow! Great pancakes!

This potato-dish...

it's fantastic!

Pickles?!

Wow!

I think I could die for this.

Do you mean it? Aren't you

really going to eat anything?

If not any food, have a chili

and drink some water.

Good God! What ways

of the gentleman!

They will starve to death,

but dine in style.

Who asked you for your opinion?

- I was talking to God.

All right. You'd better

take some rest now.

Poor guy.

Thanks a million, God! You have

finally shown him the truth.

Spare the food now.

There's no saying how many days

we'll have to spend in the storm here.

So eat less, and

have more water.

Where did you pick up

that word from?

"What havoc this sight

of the morning wreaks"

"Her pillow lies somewhere,

her hair is scattered..."

"and she's oblivious of her beauty"

Have you gone crazy?

I was afraid, I'd go crazy.

You went out in that storm?

I'm already surrounded by

a storm which I can't escape.

I know.

- You don't know anything.

You say you're a brave man.

And you can't survive a storm?

That's what I'm trying to do.

- What?

Go away, please. I'm not

not used to such things.

What things?

What will my mother say!

- What?

You can explain that nobody

can prevent a storm.

We were caught together.

What could we die? Die?

Go away! You're so childish!

What are you reading?

Poetry.

- Poetry? You! Great!

That there were so many storms

in my heart... I didn't ever know.

Does the book say that?

- Yes.

Here's a couplet.

"She now reads what's

written in my heart"

"She now reads what's

in my heart..."

"in every sentence she

finds the word love"

Wonderful!

Here's another couplet.

Very well written.

Somewhat like the storm outside.

"Do the gushing winds get

their strength from the storm?"

"Do the gushing winds get their

strength from the storm?"

"Or is it because you are

beautiful... and I'm passionate"

"Love and beauty often cause a fire"

"Whenever the flames leap..."

"the fire-fly gets

burnt in the fires"

I used to hate this girl

till yesterday.

But she's so beautiful,

so innocent, so naive...

Till yesterday I took him for a beast.

And now... what am I feeling for him?

Is this how love happens?

Is a cruel man like him

capable of loving?

I end up falling in love

with the one who tormented me?

Love? This stone-hearted man?

But I could melt

this stone-hearted man.

Those eyes could

surely do things to me.

What injustice!

Great pancakes!

Pickles!

I could die for this food!

- Let me have some...

The storm is not to be trusted.

Go slow on the food,

and have lots of water.

Water?

- Nonsense!

Where did you pick up that word?

I'm terribly hungry!

- Really?

Have a chili.

- Don't misbehave! Give that to me.

Is that a request, or an order?

- It's an order.

Looks like this storm

is going to claim our lives.

And I will never forgive myself...

for you will lose your life

because of me.

No. It isn't your mistake.

It's mine.

No...

God...

You have given me everything,

except love.

It isn't right for You to take it back,

now that You have given it to me.

Save Raj, Lord...

Stop this storm. I swear, I will

seek nothing from You ever again.

I will seek nothing again.

"Call me a beast, if you will"

"Call me whatever you will"

"I'm caught in a storm of love...

what can I do?"

"Call me a beast, if you will"

"Call me whatever you will"

"I'm caught in a storm of love...

what can I do?"

"Call me a beast, if you will"

"I have a heart too.

And I have some desires"

"I'm not stone-hearted...

I'm human too"

"I have a heart too.

And I have some desires"

"I'm not stone-hearted...

I'm human too"

"I follow the path

the world has trodden"

"Call me a beast"

"Call me whatever you will"
