What happens

Jab Jab Phool Khile (transl.  Whenever the Flowers Bloomed) is a 1965 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Suraj Prakash, written by Brij Katyal and starring Shashi Kapoor and Nanda. The story is of a poor boy who is a boatman in Jammu and Kashmir and falls in love with a rich tourist. The film became a "blockbuster" at the box office, and was the second highest grossing Hindi film of 1965 according to Box Office India. The songs with music by the duo Kalyanji Anandji, assisted by then little-known Laxmikant Pyarelal, and lyrics by Anand Bakshi are a highlight of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
