When Love Turns Into Worship. Review on Aradhna

*You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

*-- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

I strongly believe that Love is a wonderful feeling no matter how much someone try to define it in words, the feel in ur heart is unique, only and only you can know what exactly u feels millions of words have been written on Love but again someone else can only tell the symptoms not the feelings.......  the existence of love prooves the existence of God in human and in nature, because one who can creat the blend of  magic with feelings in human heart is none other than GOD. **The film ARADHANA potrayed the stroy of a lady who lives her Love with so much dedication which ultimately turns into worship.

*The story

Vandana Tripathi (SharmilaTagore)** who returns to her hometown after completiing of her studies to her father, a doctor in a small town. She comes across A young pilot Arun Saxena (Rajesh Khanna). Both Falls in love get married secretly. Before Arun tells the whole thing to his family he meets an air crash and dies. The path of hard struggle starts as a female for Vandana because she has to upbring the son of Arun alone. she has a promise to fulfill to make his son an airforce pilot, as per Arun's wish. she manages it succcesfully. The son of Arun is Suraj ( again Rajesh Khanna) beautifully paired with Renu (Farida Jalal). The film story is full of drama, laughter and tears at proper places.

Cast & Performance

The stroy and film is absolutely written for sharmila tagore. sharmila tagore has done wonderful acting  as a wife and mother of Rajesh khanna her performance was very convincing. Before Aradhana Rajesh khanna was not a super star, this film and his performance made him super star. All other characters Sujit kumar Ashok Kumar & Farida jalaal were played their rolce very nicely. there was nothing much for Farida Jalal in this film but again her naughy presence with Rajesh khanna was lovely one. Again Asit sen was as per his natural style.

Music

I would like to say Music was the most beautiful part of this film The music of Sachin Dev Burman is immortal and all songs were super hit. Kishore Kumar's voice fits Rajesh Khanna's screen image.  just have a look on the songs

Gunguna rahe hain bhanwarein khil rahi hai kali kali :- sung by Lata and rafi ... picturised on Sharmila and Rajesh Khanna . the song depicts how nature looks beautiful when u ae in love.

Mere Sapno ki raani kab ayegi Tu :-  The all time favourate song of Indian Music lovers.... it is  the Evergreen Song of the hindi films .... beautifully written by Anand bakshi and magic of Sachin da with the wordings ..... It is one of the best of Kishore da too ....

mere sapanon kee raanee, kab aayegee too?

aayee rut masataanee, kab aayegee too?

beetee jaaye jindagaanee, kab aayegee too?

chalee aa, too chalee aa

pyaar kee galiyaa, baagon kee kaliyaa

sab rang raliyaa, poochh rahee hain

geet panaghat pe kis din gaayegee too?

Roop tera mastana pyaar mera diwaana :- The naughty song with placed in the film to push the story ahead and to convinced the audience that the couple has prepared to go for more closureness. the wordings are beautiful again.

Kora kagaz tha yeh man mera likh diya naam is pe teraa : one more lovely song in the film something happens deep in my heart when kishore kumar sings those two lines without music .... just imagine,  u will agree with me .. .....

Baago mein bahaar hai :- a naughty song in a conversational form between Rajesh khanna and Farida jalaal is also wonderful. you found ur self lost in the couple somewhere in the song.

chanda hai tu mera surj hai tu :-  lovely song between mother and son ...  very heart touching ...

Evergreen ....

saphal hogi teri aradhana :-  A philophical one one more wonderful song.

ARadhana has given a wonderful talent Rajesh khanna to the film Industry. this is not a first film of Rajesh Khanna but this film has given him the stardom status and he ruled the industry.  Rajesh khanna and Sharmila Tagore is a convincing couple on screen and there are many super hit movies they have done after that ....

Aradhana is a story of a girl where love turns into the lifelong worship ...  A journey of Love to Worship.
