For all of you desi movie fans that love great music and memorable films, this is one movie that you definitely must see! Yeh Vaada Raha is one of those movies that I never get tired of. It has a wonderful sound track and also includes the famous song “Tu hai wohi dil ne jise”. I absolutely adore this song and it’s one of my all time favourites! Asha Bhosle’s vocals are truly amazing.

The film was made in 1982 and stars Rishi Kapoor, Poonam Dhillon, and Tina Munim as the lead actors. Vikram (Rishi Kapoor), a rich but down to earth kind of guy falls in love with Sunita (Poonam), a poor orphaned lady with a beautiful voice. They are happily in love and plan to get married. Vikram’s mother is dead set against the union for reasons of social status and misplaced pride.

Vikram goes against his mother’s wishes and is about to marry Sunita when a horrific tragedy strikes. They are in a car accident which leaves Vikram with minor injuries, but Sunita’s face is completely disfigured. Vikram’s mother lies and tells him that Sunita is dead. Sunita is sent to another city and undergoes multiple plastic surgeries. The operations are successful, but her face and identity are changed forever. Here enters the new Sunita played by Tina Munim.

That’s part of the story up until the intermission. The rest is for you to see if you want to. :) I’ve seen this movie many times, and am still not tired of it. It’s a great choice for one of those nights that you want to explore a classic option.

Enjoy the song! If you decide to watch the movie, I am positive you will like it
