Sanam Teri Kasam

Plot synopsis:
Vijay Verma (Saif Ali Khan) is a rich and selfish playboy who enjoys playing with women by giving a fake name to every girl. His friend, Gopal, (Atul Agnihotri) tells him several times to stop this act otherwise he will regret it. One day, Vijay meets a lovely tourist, Seema (Pooja Bhatt) and falls in love with her after a few meetings. During a separation, Seema sends Vijay a letter about her father agreeing to marriage with Vijay. He replies saying that he will leave immediately to get to her place. This is when the narrative introduces a shocking heel turn. Seema's father arrives at the airport and is greeted by his future son-in-law, and, shortly after, Seema's marriage ceremony takes place. After the marriage, Seema finds out that the person who has married her is none other than Gopal and she was tricked into marriage with him; when he knew that Vijay loved her too. Seema and her unexpected new spouse turn up at Vijay's home, and it's frustrating then to see Vijay quietly take the abuse doled out by the two-faced husband. Lots of yearning glances exchanged between Vijay and Seema, lots of smirking by the husband. It's a revenge tale, of course. There's a reason Seema got tricked into wedlock.

Review:
Typical Hindi movie. after seeing this movie, one feels like one has seen a number of Hindi films with the same theme like 'Phir wohi dil laya hoon' Jab Pyar kisse se hota hai etc., where a lookalike son comes in to claim the property competing with the real inheritor son, the hero, who got separated early in life and accidentally comes in touch with the heroine, who may also have a similar separation for some different reason, and then making love with the heroine, which unquestionably throws a sad party number like the one shown in this movie, after the story has thrown in a couple of fast romantic songs with the real hero and heroine, in charming locations. It seems the saga has not changed, but one does not mind seeing the rhetoric, if it has good songs and music. Majority of such bollywood movies have been a success, if they have good music, songs and dance. It also reminds one of another hit movie 'Tesri manzil' where the location is Simla and the hero is a singer in a hotel there with a bit of murder mystery.. remake of Nasir Hussain films. Nasir Hussain (uncle of Aamir Khan and father of Mansoor Khan) made a couple of films with the same storyline like Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon with Joy Mukherjee and Asha Parekh. Sanam Teri Kasam is a remake of these movies. A man suspects his wife of having a affair. She leaves him taking her son with her. Man comes to know that his wife was innocent and searches her but she doesn't want anything to do with him. He adopts a girl and brings her up and becomes rich. Now the son is grown (Kamal Hassan) falls in love with the adopted girl (Reena Roy) and the father is against the union. The father thinks that someone else is his son (Ranjeet) and wants Reena to marry his son. If it had not been for R.D. Burman (another Nasir Hussain standard) this film would be forgettable. Gems like Sanam Teri Kasam (by kishore and a version by Asha), Jaana O Meri Jaana and other songs make this film watchable.
