It's the present day Sachin in the second half with his ill-fitting wig, stiff dialogue delivery and bulky clothing who slows down the film. Sachin as the 20-year-old boy next door prances around with complete abandon.
The first few reels of Jaana Pehchana is a straight reprint of AKJS with Sachin sporting his own curly mop of hair and Ranjeeta wearing summery dresses in lemon yellow or baby pink. Asha Dayal is played by Ranjeeta (Lily in the original) but there's no reincarnation. He can't turn her away as he's fascinated by her. Arun doesn't entertain outsiders and would prefer to remain an enigma. A large portrait of Lily adorns his bedroom wall.Įnter Asha Dayal, a writer who is hoping to write Arun's biography. Arun is no longer in college he's channelized his libido into his work, and become a world-famous industrialist professionally, socially he's a recluse. Loosely based on the Hollywood hit Love Story, rich boy (Arun) meets middle-class girl, (Lily) cancer strikes and the boy is shattered, scarred for life. Tapasya was a money-spinner and Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi didn't do well even in small towns.Ĭoming to their 1978 blockbuster, Ankhiyon Ke Jharokon Se with Sachin and Ranjeeta Kaur in the lead roles. Their 1976 film Tapasya (Parikshit Sahni and Rakhee Gulzar) was turned into EK Vivaah Aisa Bhi (Eesha Koppikar and Sonu Sood) with one minor difference. So they're busy revisiting their megahits, and wondering how best the same dish can be re-served to a susceptible weepy audience. These simple stories, devoid of violence and passion made Rajshree Bros one of the leading production houses.Įven after thirty years, they obviously believe things haven't really changed.
Perfectly timed for the era they were set in. Undying love, family needs before self-gratification, dire consequences for those earn money by unscrupulous means and all that blah. Routine mundane stuff which generally was the theme of every off-beat film canned those days. Somewhere in the '70s the Barjatyas' discovered their formulae. Preeti Arora feels that Jaana Pehchana is a sequel to Akhiyon Ke Kharokon Se.
