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

What if I don't like the girl?

- She's a princess, Shekhar.

That's okay. But if she turns out

to be ill-mannered?

She will still remain a princess.

I can't understand how you

have forgotten your principles.

You don't know mother.

Your son almost died!

It's true. I was caught in a storm.

The worst storm I've seen in my life!

I felt as if I'd never see

my mother ever again.

I prayed every day and said...

God, let me see

my mother once again.

Didn't you feel anything, Mom?

That I was caught in a storm...

and I was missing you?

Only you, Mom...

Only you.

My son!

- I have you, Mom...

and I have everything!

Did you see your son's behavior?

A few days he spends in Kashmir,

and he's a changed man!

He laughs like any other man.

He sulks like small children.

He hugged me tightly

when I was angry with him.

His behavior, I didn't...

I have a complaint

against myself too.

I don't know why,

but I liked what he did.

The way he cried "Mother"

and hugged me...

I liked that so very much.

But it won't happen again.

For your principles and

my children's future...

I will sacrifice my feelings.

Jeevan, I can't bear this anymore.

How long do you expect me to

stay away from my child?

I'll have a word with Mom today.

I'll tell her that we...

Don't do that. Don't you know

what a lady your mother is?

We won't be able to live if

our child comes to any harm.

How long then? No one would

remain silent in such a situation.

But we must maintain our silence.

For the sake of our child.

Have patience, Mala. God willing,

everything will be all right.

Stop it, guys...

the dictator is about to arrive.

There aren't so many restrictions

during a curfew...

as there are when this

beast arrives in the office.

I'll take that in.

Give me a salute!

Go on.

Ask them to stop laughing.

It's time for the boss to arrive.

Laughing isn't a bad thing, sir.

Why don't you make the boss see reason?

I could make him see reason,

if were human. That beast...

Sir! You?

You will no longer remain the

Manager of this company.

Please don't do that, sir...

I've children to feed.

I don't care! I have decided!

- But, sir...

No buts! You are no

longer the manager...

you are my uncle!

Not sir... call me Shekhar.

Yes. You've worked hard to make

this company a success, uncle.

Shekhar!

- Yes, uncle...

My word! That beast has

turned human!

Amazing!

Wow! What aroma!

Sit down, uncle. Never insult food

by getting up while you're eating.

That's tasty food, mister...

your wife cooked it?

Oh yes. She has personally cooked it.

Well, well! Your wife cooks for you,

and you ogle at 'em all!

That looks nice...

home-made, I think.

Oh yes! This surely is homemade!

I liked him the way he was earlier.

He ate up half my food!

You aren't eating alone today!

We're going to enjoy your food!

C'mon...

Why did you walk away?

After all the hard work, if you still

can't manage two square meals...

it's I who should be ashamed,

not you.

Those tears, I must shed.

Not you.

No, boss. You pay me enough.

It's just my bad luck.

Nonsense! I pay you nothing!

That's why you starve.

From this month... you get

a raise of 200 rupees.

You even thank me with

tears in your eyes?

Who's that?

Manager? Why hasn't Shekhar

come home for lunch?

He ate here today.

Where is "here"?

With all of us.

Looks like he has gone mad!

I'll call the doctor immediately.

Bring Shekhar home at 5 p.m.

And book a ticket for Shekhar by

tomorrow morning's train to Ramgarh.

Very well, madam.

The lady called to say that

Shekhar has gone mad.

What has he been doing?

- Nothing much.

It's just that he bites.

What?! He bites?

- Yes.

He bit a servant on the cheek

this morning.

The poor guy went with

his left cheek missing.

Shekhar...

I'm meeting you after ages!

I'm not letting you go today!

Now look, son. It's bad to bite.

And you know...

man goes mad after a dog-bite!

- What you don't know...

is that you die when you're

bitten by a madman!

Oh no!

- Oh yes!

I'm trapped then!

- Has a madman bitten you already?

Not yet... But I'm afraid...

- He might bite?

Yes!

- Strange man you are, uncle!

You go to places where...

- I'll never come here again!

Here?

- I mean, I'll never go there again!

What's this, uncle?

- Nothing!

It was lying on the table.

I happened to pick it up.

Remember how much I loved you

when you were a kid, Shekhar?

I used to give you lollipops

without your mother getting to know!

Oh yes. And I used my little teeth

to fondly bite your fleshy cheeks!

So what if I've grown up? I still

feel like biting you!

No! Don't! I suffer from a disease.

A terrible disease!

I have a rash... even on my cheeks!

- No point in screaming, uncle.

You've contacted the disease

from a madman.

Relax for a while. You'll be all right.

- No. I want to go home!

Come on... move!

Sit down.

Lie down... go on!

Now shut your eyes.

What're you scared of?

No madman can come here.

Because I'm the maddest of them all.

My bite could even kill a madman!

Good God!

Look, uncle... I have yet to complete.

Lie down for a while.

You will be all right.

Lie down properly.

I'll be back in a moment.

Strange man! The doctor's in a

bad way, and you're laughing?

I played a joke on him.

I told him that you've gone mad...

and that you're biting everyone.

- What?

What? Gulmohar?

- Yes. We owe Sajju 50,000 rupees.

I asked him to forget the money

if he didn't arrange for the stay.

Did he agree then?

- Like hell he did!

But how do we manage the car?

I've taken up a job

as a chauffeur yesterday.

Well done! You are truly my son!

You'll pleased to know that I've

invited all our creditors to the party.

They'll attend our party

in their best clothes.

Just wait and see what a

grand celebration we have!

That's just what

I expected from you.

"I attend a celebration at hers,

and what do I see?"

"I attend a celebration at hers,

and what do I see?"

"The stars are all in the sky..."

"but she's the dazzling Moon

here on earth"

In honor of the Moon here...

Ms Suku will present a song.

"What am I to do?"

"What am I to do?"

"I've lost my heart"

"What am I to do?"

"Some call me carefree;

Others call me crazy..."

"and yet others call me a firefly"

"I have a desire;

Oblivious of the world..."

"I march ahead...

my destination is my beloved"

"What am I to do?"

"I've lost my heart"

"What am I to do?"

"Do not be shocked, my friends"

"Do not be afraid of me"

"Do not take my love

for a fancy"

"I have taken her hand...

for a lifetime"

"It's true... not a story"

"What am I to do?"

"I've lost my heart"

"What am I to do?"

"In the way I look, in the way

I talk, I appear to be drunk"

"I've gone awry without

even drinking"

"My desires make me helpless"

"I'm anxious every moment"

"But why would I lead a life,

bereft of any love?"

"What am I to do?"

"I've lost my heart"

"What am I to do?"

He seems to be mad, father.
