What happens

Tere Ghar Ke Samne (English: In Front of Your House) is a 1963 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Vijay Anand. Produced by Dev Anand under the banner of Navketan Films, the film is loosely based on the 1954 film Bengali film Ora Thake Odhare. It stars Anand himself alongside Nutan in lead roles, while Rajendra Nath, Om Prakash and Harindranath Chattopadhyay play other pivotal roles. The film's music is by S. D. Burman, while the lyrics have been penned by Hasrat Jaipuri. The story is about a young architect who returns to India after having had a western education and falls in love with a modern Indian girl, who respects Indian culture and her parents' wishes. Their fathers are rivals in everything, and never cease to quarrel. The two of them must convince their fathers to put aside their differences and live together in harmony. Released on 5 April 1963, it was a major hit in India, taking the sixth spot in highest-grossing films of the year. The film, produced by Dev Anand and, is the duo's fourth collaboration after the hits Nau Do Gyarah (1957), Kala Bazar (1960) and Hum Dono (1961). Vijay Anand would later go on to direct the hits Guide (1965), Teesri Manzil (1966) and Johny Mera Naam (1970). It was also the last movie to pair Dev Anand and Nutan together, after the films Paying Guest (1957), Baarish (1957) and Manzil (1960). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
