This is one of those movies which leaves you feeling good and on a high. The simple setting of a village with absolutely real-life characters make this movie a viewing pleasure. The plot is very simple.

Vijayendra Ghatage is an engineer who is about to come to a village for some construction work. Hangal and Dina Pathak want to marry off their daughter Zarina Wahab to him. But instead of the engineer, the supervisor Amol Palekar lands up and is mistaken for the engineer.

The parents encourage the meetings of Zarina and Amol. Amol is a lover of music. He teaches Zarina music and in the process they fall in love.

A simple, yet interesting romantic movie, 'Chitchor' revolves around Vinod - Amol Palekar who falls in love with Geeta - Zarina Wahab after her family mistakes. Feature FilmReleased Hindi. Chitchor is a movie directed by Basu Chatterjee featuring Amol Palekar, Zarina Wahab. Full Cast & Crew.

But then Vijayendra comes on the scene and he is ready to marry Zarina. It is the presentation, characterisation and acting where the movie really shines. Amol is great as ever. Dina Pathak is delightful as the mother who is in a dilemma over allowing her daughter to meet Amol openly. Zarina also gives an excellent performance. The movie has excellent songs which are largely based on classical Indian music, notable being 'Jab Deep Jale Aana', 'Gori Tera Gaon Bada Pyara', 'Aaj Se Pahle' etc. Yesudas enthralls with his rich mellifluous voice in these songs.

You can't find a Best of Yesudas album without these songs from this film. All in all, a light, heart-warming movie which is a must-see for every hindi film buff. It is a far cry from the regular stuff churned out by Bollywood. Excellent stuff!! Sooraj Barjaatya has directed some good movies over the period spanning from 1989-2006 but his work includes one let down also in the form of Main Prem Ki Deewaani Hoon (2003). With too much unnecessary glamour, body expose, theatrical performances and average musical score, MPKDH did not have anything worthwhile to offer to the audience who approached the theatres with high expectations and quite naturally, it bombed on the box office.

However anybody who has been following the movies of Sooraj's banner (actually his grandfather's banner) - Rajshri Productions, could easily see that MPKDH was actually an urbanized remake of an old classic of this banner which kept the flag of simplicity, high values of life and Indianness high in Hindi cinema for around two and a half decades. The original classic movie in this context is Chitchor (1976). Chitchor (heart-stealer) is a lovely movie which got turned into an unforgettable one by the brilliant performances and the excellent music. The pivotal character of the story is Geeta (Zarina Wahaab) who lives with her parents in a small town.

Her father, Pitambar Chaudhary (A.K. Hungal) is a schoolmaster who alongwith her mother (Deena Paathak) is concerned about her marriage (like any traditional Indian parents).

Her married elder sister, Meera (Ritu Kamal) informs them from Mumbai (then Bombay) a suitable boy who is an engineer, is coming to their place for work and he should be welcomed and treated properly by them to woo him for consenting to marry Geeta. The parents do the same. Yan manasula unna nenachathu song.
