Babul Ki Galiyaan is a 1972 Indian drama film directed by S. D. Narang, starring Sanjay Khan, Hema Malini, and Shatrughan Sinha in lead roles. The movie is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice and redemption, and narrates the story of a village boy who falls in love with a city girl, but is forced to marry another woman due to societal pressures.
The film opens with the introduction of a young and free-spirited village boy, Kishen (Sanjay Khan), who spends his days playing the flute and roaming around the lush green fields of his hometown. One day, he meets the gorgeous city-girl Radha (Hema Malini), who is visiting her relatives in the village. Kishen and Radha hit it off instantly and fall in love with each other. However, their love is short-lived as Radha's father opposes their relationship due to the difference in their social status and financial background.
Heartbroken and dejected, Kishen returns home and is coerced by his family to marry a girl of their choice. He reluctantly agrees to the marriage but continues to pine for Radha. After the marriage, Kishen moves to the city with his wife and begins a new life, but his heart remains in the village and his love for Radha never fades away.
As fate would have it, Kishen's wife dies in a tragic accident, leaving him devastated and alone. He returns to the village with his young son, and is reunited with Radha, who has now become a widow herself. Kishen and Radha are drawn towards each other once again, and their love rekindles. However, they are still bound by their societal norms and are unable to express their feelings.
The rest of the film follows the emotional turmoil of Kishen and Radha as they navigate their way through their love, their duties towards their family and the society, and their own sense of morality. They are faced with several challenges, including Kishen's son, who disapproves of their relationship, and the conservative society, which refuses to accept their love.
The film is a beautifully woven story of love and sacrifices, and the challenges that come with it. It showcases the beauty of rural India with its lush fields, vibrant culture, and strong family values. The songs in the movie are soulful and melodious, and add to the overall charm of the film.
Sanjay Khan delivers a brilliant performance as Kishen, capturing the essence of his character with ease. Hema Malini is stunning as Radha and brings her character to life with grace and beauty. Shatrughan Sinha plays the role of Kishen's friend, adding the much-needed comic relief to the film.
Overall, Babul Ki Galiyaan is a masterpiece of Indian cinema and is a must-watch for anyone who loves classic love stories.
