Humjoli (English: Fellow; Hindi: हमजोली) is a 1970 Bollywood drama film, produced by Prasan Kapoor under the Tirupati Pictures banner and directed by T. R. Ramanna. It stars Jeetendra and Leena Chandavarkar in the lead roles, with music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The film is a remake of the Tamil movie Panakkara Kudumbam (1964), starring M.G.R and B. Saroja Devi, which later went on to be remade in Kannada as Bhale Huduga (1978), starring Vishnuvardhan, Manjula and Dwarakish and in Telugu as Intiguttu (1984), starring Chiranjeevi and Nalini in pivotal roles.
Mehmood essayed a triple role in this movie, which was essayed by Nagesh in the Tamil version and Dwarakish in the Kannada version. Later on, the dual roles played by Nagesh in Anubavi Raja Anubavi went on to be essayed by Mehmood in another Hindi version (Do Phool) and Dwarakish in the Kannada version (Kittu Puttu).
Plot
Village-based Gopalnath (Pran) had always dreamed of becoming rich. On a visit to Bombay city, his dreams are fulfilled when he agrees to marry plain-looking Roopa, the sole heiress of a wealthy man (Nazir Hussain). Unknown to Roopa, Gopalnath loves fellow-villager, Shyama (Shashikala). After the passing away of Roopa's dad, Roopa gives birth to a baby girl, Ranibala. Gopalnath arranges to have Roopa killed; marries Shyama, and lets Ranibala live in a hostel. Years later, his past comes to haunt him in the shape and form of Shyama's relatives, and Ranibala's suitor, Manmohan, who will not leave any stone unturned to blackmail Gopalnath for the rest of his life.
