Gharana, 1961 Director: S.S. Vasan Music Director: Ravi Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni Choreography: Gopi Krishna Playback: Asha Bhosle, Kamal Barot, Mohammed Rafi, Shamshad Begum Cast: Raaj Kumar as Kailash Rajendra Kumar as Kamal Asha Parekh as Usha Devika as Sita Krishna Kumari as Gauri Bipin Gupta as Rai Bahadur Ramdas Lalita Pawar as Shanta Shubha Khote as Bhairavi Agha as Sarang Minoo Mumtaz as Ragini English translation included. The large household at the center of the plot is run by a tyrannical old mother Shanta (Lalita Pawar). Her husband Ramdas (Bipin Gupta) is a very religious, meek man who lets her boss everyone around in the home. The home includes their eldest daughter-in-law Gauri, (Krishna Kumari) a widow, raising two little boys. Their middle son is Kailash (Raaj Kumar), married to a very devoted, loving woman named Sita (Devika). Their youngest son is Kamal (Rajendra Kumar), a college student, who falls in love with another student Usha (Asha Parekh). The young married daughter Bhairavi (Shubha Khote), who was living with her husband and father-in-law, has now moved back home using a trivial reason, such as how she doesn't like her father-in-law's singing. Her husband Sarang (Agha) has followed her and is staying in the household, trying his best to get his wife to come back to his home. Shanta has completely spoiled her daughter. One day, Bhairavi plants a suspicion in Kailash's head that Sita is having an affair with Kamal. Even after Kamal's marriage to Usha, Kailash's suspicions grow to the point where he leaves his wife and attempts suicide. His friend, a respectable dancer named Ragini (Minoo Mumtaz), stops him. He accepts her help and later pursues her romantically, but she sees him only as a friend, as he is a married man. For the rest, please watch the film. Minoo Mumtaz has a small but pivotal role to play as an actress, as well as providing one of her best-ever dances. Be warned, though, there are lots of 'cringe-worthy' moments in this film, with all kinds of abuse against women taking place. There are differing figures as to how well the film did, but MuVyz.com lists it as the 3rd highest grossing film of 1961, behind Gunga Jumna and Junglee: https://muvyz.com/boxoffice/byyear/y1/1961 Filmfare Awards, 1962 Winner: Best Music Director: Ravi Best Lyricist: Shakeel Badayuni For the song "Husnwale tera jawab nahin...".
