Plot summary
Sundar (Raj Kapoor), Gopal (Rajendra Kumar) and Radha (Vyjayantimala) have been friends since childhood. As they grow into adults, Sundar develops an obsessive romantic attraction to Radha, but she prefers Gopal, who is also in love with her. Yet, as Sundar has confided his feelings for Radha to him, Gopal decides to sacrifice his love for his friend’s sake. Radha systematically resists Sundar’s overtures, but to no avail. For him, she is the only woman in the world. Matching Sundar’s great love for Radha is his unswerving devotion to his friendship with Gopal.Eventually, Sundar enlists in the Indian Air Force and is assigned to a military mission in Kashmir. Before leaving, he extracts a promise from Gopal, whom he trusts implicitly, never to let any man come between Radha and himself while he is away. Subsequently, Sundar’s airplane is shot down over Kashmir. He is listed as MIA and presumed dead. This news saddens Radha and Gopal, but they are nonetheless now free to profess their love for one another. Among other expressions of love, Gopal writes her an unsigned prem patra (love letter) which touches her particularly and which she hides away. Just when they begin taking steps to be married, Sundar returns, safe and sound. The self-effacing Gopal sacrifices himself once more, stepping back into the shadows, watching as the reborn Sundar resumes his wooing of Radha. Inevitably, the two marry.
After the couple returns from an extended European honeymoon, Sundar is deliriously happy. His life’s dream has been realised. Radha is resolved to be faithful to her husband and to put Gopal out of her mind. She privately asks him to stay away from her and Sundar because of the torture his presence causes her. Sundar’s devotion to Gopal, however, is such that he constantly tries to draw him into their life, much to Radha’s chagrin. The perfection of their marital bliss is, however, shattered when Sundar accidentally discovers the unsigned love letter Gopal had written to Radha. Sundar is thunderstruck, and assumes that Radha has been unfaithful to him. Producing a pistol, he demands she divulge the name of the supposed lover and threatens to kill the man, but she refuses.
In the days that follow, Sundar becomes obsessed with discovering the identity of the letter's author and cannot return to normalcy. Radha’s life becomes miserable, lived out against the incessant drama of Sundar’s jealousy, threats, anger and fixation with the letter. Eventually unable to bear the wretchedness of her existence with Sundar any further, Radha flees to Gopal for help. Sundar takes the same route, unaware that Radha has gone to Gopal’s house. There, matters come to a head. The overwrought Gopal admits his authorship of the infamous letter to Radha, an admission which almost destroys his friend. Gopal, perceiving no exit from the impasse at which the three have arrived, kills himself with Sundar’s pistol. Radha and Sundar are finally reunited - in mourning.
ANIL BAJPAI,RANA CHATERJEE AND SANGEETA MELEKAR
Har dil jo pyar karega, woh gaana gaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Diwana...
Every heart that is in love will sing a song today
The one who is madly in love will be recognized in this crowd
The lover...
Aap hamaare dil ko churakar aankh churaaye jaate hain
Ye ek tarfa rasm-e-wafa hum phirbhi nibhaaye jaate hain
Chaahat ka dastoor hai lekin aap ko hi maaloom nahin
Jis mehfil mein shamma ho parwaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega, diwana...
You have stolen my heart, and now you are shying away from me
Though my affection is one-sided, I still abide by my feelings
This is the obligation of love, but you don't even know it.
Where there's a flame, there will surely be moths
The lover in the crowd will stand out tonight, the lover...
Bhooli bisri yaadein mere hanste gaate bachpan ki
Raat biraat chali aati hain neend churaane nainan ki
Ab kehdoongi karte karte kitne saawan beet gaye
Jaane kab in aankhon ka sharmaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega, diwana...
The forgotten memories of our happy childhood
Come to me night after night, stealing my sleep
Now I will dare to confess it so many seasons later...
I'm not sure when the shyness will leave these eyes
The lover in this gathering will stand out, the lover...
Apni apni sabne keh li, lekin hum chupchaap rahe
Dard paraaya jisko pyara woh kya apni baat kahe
Khamoshi ka ye afsaana reh jaayega baad mere
Apna ke har kisi ko begaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Everyone has told their own story, but I remain quiet
The one who listens to the others' sorrows, how can he speak of himself?
This silent story of my heart shall forever remain untold
Having accepted everyone else, this outsider will now leave
A lover will be recognized in the crowd
Har dil jo pyar karega, woh gaana gaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Diwana... Diwana...
Every heart that is in love will sing a song today
The one who is madly in love will be recognized in this crowd
The lover...
