What happens

Mere Jeevan Saathi (My Life Partner) is a 1972 Indian film directed by Ravikant Nagaich. Produced by Harish and Vinod Shah, it stars Rajesh Khanna, Tanuja, Sujit Kumar, Bindu, Helen, Utpal Dutt, Nazir Hussain and Rajindranath. Loosely inspired by the 1970 Bengali film Rajkumari, which also starred Tanuja, the film was made at the height of Khanna's popularity and craze after the slight fall in 1971. It was the second movie of Rajesh Khanna with Tanuja after the success of Haathi Mere Saathi (1971). Although the movie was a box office superhit grosser upon its release and received all time classics good reviews from viewers and critics, the soundtrack and songs became very popular and are evergreen. "O Mere Dil Ke Chain" and "Chala Jata Hoon" are still very famous Kishore Kumar melodies from this film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
