Guru Dutt’s glowing tribute to love, Chaudhvin Ka Chand is a story of mistaken identities. Pyare Miyan (Rehman) falls in love with Jameela (Waheeda Rehman) whom he catches a glimpse of at a mela. Meanwhile, his old and sick mother persuades the maulvi to go to Haj on her behalf in exchange to get his daughter Jameela married to her son. Pyare Miyan, thinking his love to be someone else, refuses the match and instead persuades his best friend Aslam (Guru Dutt) to marry Jameela.
Chaudhvin Ka Chand remains one of Guru Dutt’s most enduring films, having left indelible imprints of exquisite images of Waheeda Rehman at her beautiful best, and music director Ravi’s greatest hits like “Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho”, “Mili Khak Mein Monhabbat” and “Dil Ki Kahani Rang Layi Hai”.
