What happens

Raja Rani (transl. King, queen) is a 1973 Hindi-language film. The film stars Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore. The supporting cast included Sujit Kumar, Farida Jalal, Iftekhar, Dulari and Asit Sen. Mumtaz makes a guest appearance as herself. Produced by Jagdish Kumar, the film is written and directed by veteran writer Sachin Bhowmick. The film's music was composed by R. D. Burman. His real-life wife Asha Bhosle received a Filmfare Nomination as Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Jab Andhera Hota Hai," the only nomination for the film. As per the review of the film made in 2014 by the Hindu newspaper, the film did well at the box office and taking into consideration, the inflation as of 2014, the film would have grossed more than 100 crores. The attire worn by Khanna was sleeveless shirt and trousers, thick leather belt on waist, shoes without socks and a black cap. The Hindu review noted "On a lesser actor, the attire would have fallen flat, but Khanna, as a small time thief, carries it with characteristic élan." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
