after seeing this movie, one feels like one has seen a number of Hindi films with the same theme like 'Phir wohi dil laya hoon' Jab Pyar kisse se hota hai etc., where a lookalike son comes in to claim the property competing with the real inheritor son, the hero, who got separated early in life and accidentally comes in touch with the heroine, who may also have a similar separation for some different reason, and then making love with the heroine, which unquestionably throws a sad party number like the one shown in this movie, after the story has thrown in a couple of fast romantic songs with the real hero and heroine, in charming locations. It seems the saga has not changed, but one does not mind seeing the rhetoric, if it has good songs and music. Majority of such bollywood movies have been a success, if they have good music, songs and dance. It also reminds one of another hit movie 'Tesri manzil' where the location is Simla and the hero is a singer in a hotel there with a bit of murder mystery.

sharankandhai1 June 2007Nasir Hussain (uncle of Aamir Khan and father of Mansoor Khan) made a couple of films with the same storyline like Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon with Joy Mukherjee and Asha Parekh. Sanam Teri Kasam is a remake of these movies. A man suspects his wife of having a affair. She leaves him taking her son with her. Man comes to know that his wife was innocent and searches her but she doesn't want anything to do with him. He adopts a girl and brings her up and becomes rich. Now the son is grown (Kamal Hassan) falls in love with the adopted girl (Reena Roy) and the father is against the union. The father thinks that someone else is his son (Ranjeet) and wants Reena to marry his son. If it had not been for R.D. Burman (another Nasir Hussain standard) this film would be forgettable. Gems like Sanam Teri Kasam (by kishore and a version by Asha), Jaana O Meri Jaana and other songs make this film watchable.
