Sawan Ko Aane Do

The movie captures the very heart of rural India. The story is quite simple like most Rajshri production movies. The film begins with the return of Chandramukhi to her native village. She belongs to an upper-class family of propertied gentry whose fortunes are in decline due to changing times. What property they are left with is also in dispute, because Chandramukhi's father (or his father) had been cheated by a former employee and are fighting a court case. Having lost her mother at a young age, Chandramukhi had then been sent to live with her mother's parents, because her father had felt unable to take care of a small girl all by himself. Now, after completing her matriculation exam, she has returned to Ramgarh to take care of her beloved father, and spend a couple of years with him, while he arranges a suitable marriage for her in the usual Indian way.

Returning to Ramgarh, Chandramukhi meets her childhood school-friend Brij Mohan, aka Birju, a strapping young man with a talent for singing. Birju's parents are dead and he lives as part of a typical rural joint family, in his modest ancestral house, with his three older brothers, their wives and a little niece on whom he dotes. His brothers likewise dote on him and cherish him, but their wives are not fond of him and consider that his brothers have spoiled him so that he does not work in the fields but spends his time reading, singing and playing music. Birju belongs to the same Brahmin caste as Chandramukhi, but his family was never wealthy and has no memories of exalted status. The family does own some inherited farmland, but Birju's brothers themselves plough the field and raise the crop; they are farmers rather than land-owning Zamindars.

Eventually, Brij and Chandramukhi fall in love. But Chandramukhi's father cuts it abruptly and sends her to Lucknow. A short while later, Brij arrives at Lucknow. Gitanjali, who happens to be Chandramukhi's friend is thrilled by his voice and helps him get a job at Aakashvani through her father. Brij returns to Ramnagar to ask Chandramukhi's hand in marriage, but is once again rebuked. By this time, her family has lost its wealth in a court case and she becomes a teacher at the local school. He returns and goes on to become a great singer in Mumbai with Gita by his side. Always, he yearns for Chandra as she yearns for him. How he manages to marry her forms the rest of the story.

All the songs were composed by Raj Kamal. Almost all the songs were melodious and hits, however the songs "Sawan Ko Aane Do", "Chand Jaise Mukhde Pe", "Teri Tasveer Ko", "Tujhe Dekh Kar", "Jaanam Jaanam", "Tere Bin Soona" and "Bole To Baansuri" were great hits and were usually on the tongue of the youth during those days.
