Tere Ghar Ke Samne

Plot synopsis:
Set in Delhi in 1962, Lala Jagannath (Om Prakash) and Seth Karam Chand (Harindranath Chattopadhyay), two wealthy businessmen, are bidding for the front plot in a government auction. One is westernised and wears black-rimmed spectacles, the other, traditional turban and linen. Adamant on getting the front plot of land, Lala Jagannath raises the price higher and higher. Seth Karam Chand irks him even further by raising the price by a paltry 1000 rupees, made worse by the fact that Seth Karam Chand raises his finger, leaving the auctioneer (Jankidas) and the crowd to interpret the meaning. Lala Jagannath winds up with the front plot, but at the last moment, Seth Karam Chand comes in and quotes an insane price for the back plot, leaving the rest to think something has gone wrong with him.
Back home, Seth Karam Chand informs his wife about his decision, and the two banter, with him talking about "style". His daughter, Sulekha (Nutan) points out that their house will be hidden by Lala Jagannath's one. Not willing to let such a thing happen, Seth Karam Chand and Sulekha hire an architect, Rakesh (Dev Anand). After a little friction and misunderstanding, Rakesh gets to know Sulekha, and her brother, Ranjit. (Rajendra Nath). His sidekick, Madan, (Rashid Khan), sets his eyes on Sulekha's friend, Motiya (Parveen Choudhary).
They go to visit the Qutub Minar, and no one else but Rakesh and Sulekha are willing to climb up. Slowly, but surely, Rakesh and Sulekha start to fall in love. But there's a catch that no one but Rakesh and Madan know – Rakesh is actually Lala Jagannath's son! Even then, he conceals the truth from everyone, leading to some hilarious side-splitting scenes where Rakesh tries to keep his parents away from Sulekha's, and his antics include pretending to having had an attack and making both sides believe he's scolding the other, with a little help from his sidekick.
Meanwhile, Ranjit and Rakesh's colleague, Jenny (Zarine Katrak) fall in love as well. Ranjit leaves for Kashmir, and Rakesh starts to make the plans for the houses. To add to his woes, his father insists that he design the house, and Seth Karam Chand has already hired him. Still not willing to allow the truth to be revealed, he tries to keep the designs away from each side, but to no avail. His father sees a design, insists on it, while Seth Karam Chand has already decided on that one. Fed up with all the enmity, Rakesh eventually decides to make both houses the same. His love affair with Sulekha continues. When Sulekha goes off to Shimla, Rakesh follows behind her.
Finally deciding that enough is enough, Rakesh decides to reveal the truth to Sulekha. She gets very angry with him, but thankfully, their parents don't come to know about it. He refuses to work for them, and when she demands to know why, he drops a bombshell and tells her that he is indeed Lala Jagannath's son. Feeling betrayed, she starts to avoid him at Ronny's birthday party. Undaunted, Rakesh sings a song, and she is easily wooed back.
However, Lala Jagannath and Seth Karamchand both find out, and marriage, in their eyes, is impossible. Their enmity is a barrier between their children's love, and however hard Rakesh and Sulekha try, the barrier is impenetrable. Even then, Rakesh finally manages to convince them, and they relent, embracing each other. Taking that as a yes, Rakesh and Sulekha hug each other too, overjoyed. They get married at the inauguration of the two houses that Rakesh had built.

Review:
A Lovely love story .
Though not very different from the  many hindi love stories, this movie will always be remembered for its music.
The songs mostly sung by Lata and Rafi are molodius and naughty.
Dev Anand has Nutan opposite him for change and they work charm together.
If you are a Dev Anand fan, do not miss this movie; if you are not, this movie has the potential to make you one..
A Bollywood Movie I Actually Enjoyed!.
You sometimes have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, and over the years I've fidgeted through more than my fair share of Bollywood Blockbusters in the interest of film scholarship as they interminably stretched on and on into the small hours of the morning on Channel 4; usually taking an absolute eternity to tell a very simple story.
The songs to me all sound alike, so I just fast forward through them.
But as a stuffy Brit, I was never the audience these films were meant for in the first place...However, my diligence paid off about twenty years ago when I stumbled across this beauty, which I absolutely loved!
Even more remarkably it actually contains a song which I'm capable of humming!
It's called 'Dil Ki Manzil', a vibrant cabaret number sung by Asha Bhosle and performed on screen by a statuesque young dancer named Helga.Ironically, because of it's age - and it's in black & white - most of my Hindi co-workers have either never seen it or are only very dimly aware of it.
But it certainly gets my vote!.
Excellent romentic comedy.
Tere Ghar Ke Samne is all time enjoyable movie.
Though it is black and white, it is very interesting movie.
I appeal all people of all age to watch this movie at least once.
The story is superb with happy end.
Songs are also fantastic and will be liked by those who have got Rafi and Lata in their list of favorite singers.
Devanand and Nutan are at best in their performance.
Om Prakash and Harindranath have also performed well in their comedy roles.
Music by S.D. Burman is very melodious.
The dialoges are very comedy and film has been excellently directed.
It has been directed by Vijay Anand.
Vijay Anand has also directed other successful films like Guide, Jewel Thief, Jhony Mera Naam etc.
Worth watching once..
romantic comedy with very good music score..
The movie is really good.the best part of movie is music of S D Berman and the direction of Vijay Anand.Vijay Anand has given us some of the best movie of that time like guide, Teesari Manzil, Rajput and jewel thief that show the versatility of director.
this movie is romantic comedy and u will love to see it and till climax u will not able to know how Nutan's family and Dev's family going to accept each other.
some serious moment come at the end of film otherwise film was pure comedy.story is Dev Anand is architecture who is making a bungalow of Nutan's father but the same design is like by his father who is rival of Nutan's father and he insist to make bungalow in front of Nutan's bungalow.think's start going more funnier when both family like Dev and Nutan but they don't know they are rival's children.
when they know put restriction which is worthless.
one of the most emotional ending where both family agree for marriage of their children for sake of their children's future and love..
Musical and Comical Love Story.
Not much of a plot here but it is still an enjoyable movie.
Dev Anand's and Nutan's father's are enemies and when they think of making their own houses, both end up purchasing a plot of land in front of each other's.
And they also end up with the same architect Rakesh (Dev Anand).
Dev's father insists to his son that his house should be better than the others' not knowing that the others' architect was Dev only.
And Nutan on her father's behalf says the same thing.
How Dev manages all this is what the story is about.
He fools Nutan, her father and his own father with lies and he still has time to romance with Nutan.The songs are unforgettable with "Dil Ka Bhawar Kare Pukar" being my favorite.
Actually this song is well shot.
They could not shoot the song in real Qutb Minar because it is a narrow staircase and it would be impossible to shoot the song with all the cameras rolling.
And the actor's movements could not be restricted as well.
So they had to build a "Qutb Minar like" structure on the sets and the cameras are cleverly concealed.Another song "Ek Ghar Banaounga" is wonderfully pictured.
Dev imagines Nutan in his glass of wine and sings to her promising that he will build a house for both of their parents even though they might be enemies.
Other melodies include "Dekho Rootha Na Karo", "Ye Tanhai", "Pyar Ki Saza" and "Tu Kahan"Dev Anand and Nutan give a wonderful performance and Vijay Anand directs the film well.
This is a film that is enjoyable for its music and above all Dev Anand's debonair ways which makes him look very comical but adorable..
truly refreshing classic from 60s....
A beautiful romantic comedy movie remembered for number of melodious songs which remain popular today.
After Paying Guest (1957), this is the best known Dev Anand - Nutan vehicle.
The movie is about two feuding millionaires, Seth Karamchand (Chattopadyaya)and Lala Jagannath (Prakash) who want to build their house in front of each other.
Jagannath's son architect Rakesh Kumar (Dev Anand ) is commissioned to construct both houses.
In addition he falls in love with Karamchand's daughter Sulekha (Nutan) & both do their best to hide from their parents.
Finally after a lot of drama (handled well) the two rivals get together for their children.
Omprakash, Nootan's father & the Dev's mother are just hilarious.
Specially Dev's mother has done a great job.
Their fights in auction, in the society/club election are of great entertainment.
All in all a frothy musical comedy with some classic hits such as 'Dil Ka Bhanvar Kare Pukar' & 'Yeh tanhai Hai' etc.
Each one is truly refreshing.
'Dil ka bhanwar' is my all time favorite.
