Summary :

Super Star Rajesh Khanna plays a man drawn unwillingly into a nest of enemy spies and intrigue with the future of his country riding on his shoulders.Chhaya (Neetu) and Amit Narayan (Rajesh) are in love and Chhaya wants to get married. Amit doesn’t see why they have to get married and wants to keep things as they are. Wedding dates are set and then moved, to her great frustration.This is really their only point of discord.Amit lives alone, and is also very fond of Chhaya’s family: father (Om Shivpuri), mother (Dina Pathak), little brother Raju (Master Raju Shrestha)and sister Maya (Rozeena).It is Diwali, and as children burst crackers and set off potentially limb-severing fireworks, Amit’s upstairs neighbor Raman (Vinod Mehra) has been watching a group of men in a tent just outside the building’s courtyard. They also appear to be keeping tabs on him, and have his manservant in their pay. Now Raman tosses furniture about the room and loads a pistol and then takes a body out of a trunk, lays it out on the floor, sprinkles it with whiskey and as another set of firecrackers explode outside, he shoots the poor dead guy’s face off.

When Amit returns home, Raman is waiting for him and forces his way in. He explains to Amit that he is a spy for India and that he is being watched by enemy agents (he shows the tent and its inhabitants to Amit through the window). He has set up his own suicide (using a morgue body) to throw the enemies off his trail and needs to stay with Amit for a few days in hiding. The unnamed enemy is plotting to destroy India’s valuable relationship with an African country called Mazaland by assassinating its Chief Minister when he arrives November 19 at the Delhi International Airport.Raman wants to wait until his enemies hear of his “suicide” and depart before he sets off for Delhi to stop the assassination himself. He shaves his beard and dons thick black glasses to disguise himself and Amit reluctantly agrees to let him stay for a few days.The enemy agents are not put off by the sensational news of Raman’s suicide and stay put themselves. The next day Raman pries the back off his watch; hidden behind the watch face is a teeny-tiny red notebook. He opens it up and begins writing.Amit is meanwhile visiting Chhaya and her family again to talk about wedding details.Amit indulges in room talk with Chaya's family. Chhaya's family is a close & warm family.But when Aman returns home, he gets a shock.Raman has been murdered and Amit’s living room turned upside down, and the men in the tent outside have disappeared. As Amit wonders what to do next.He has a fantasy about being arrested for murder after calling in the cops.Then he wanders his room and then makes a cup of tea. In the sugar jar is the not-as-teeny-tiny-as-it-used-to-be red notebook, hidden by Raman.Raman has written down some clues about the gang (known to him only as Z, P, R and M) and their plan to kill the Chief Minister of Mazaland. He begs Amit to stop them himself: to take the notebook with him to Delhi and hand it over to the police there.

Although it was pitch-dark outside moments ago, Amit looks out the window and the sun is shining brightly as the dudhwala approaches on his bicycle. Amit takes off his own clothes very skillfully underneath a towel, and gives the milkman money for his dhoti-kurta—which he somewhat unwillingly gives up.And so Amit’s endless journey of swapping outfits and changing clothes begins. The poor milkman finds the grim scene in Amit’s living room and calls the police.The police naturally assume that Amit is the culprit and put out an all-points bulletin for his arrest. The rest of the story is full of suspense.

Quotes :

Before the release of the film, director Basu Chatterjee said to Screen India "If the artiste lives up to that image, I'm satisfied. In Chakravyuh, Kaka has interpreted his role beautifully. I will say this much. If the film flops, I am responsible for it. Khanna has performed very well. He gives me what performance I want very easily within an hour whereas other actors generally would take around 8 hours to give the same kind of performance as I want. Khanna got more done in one hour than everybody else did in eight."

“Chakravyuh” (1978) was produced by Yusuf Hassan and directed by Basu Chatterji. The movie was an adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Thirtynine Steps”. The movie had Rajesh Khanna, Neetu Singh, Vinod Mehra, simple Kapadia, Pradeep Kumar, Deven Verma, Om Shivpuri, Dina Pathak, A K Hangal, Pinchoo Kapoor, Rozeena, Yunus Parvez, Asim Kumar, Amrit Lakhanpal, Master Raju etc.

Here is a cute song from this movie. Rajesh Khanna nd Neetu Singh are in love. Neetu Singh wants them to marry, but Rajesh Khanna is against it. This song shows the duo, lip syncing in Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle’s voices respectively, putting forth ther conflicting views. Rajesh Khanna opines that wedding causes reduction of love, while Neetu Singh argues that the real enjoyment of love can be felt only after wedding.

This song is picturised beautifully on Rajesh Khanna and Neetu Singh on various locations, viz Beaches, restaurants, offices,bus etc.

Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है

अरे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
कम हो जाता है
शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है

शादी करें के बाद ही
प्यार का मज़ा आता है
हे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
आ हा
शादी करें के बाद ही
प्यार का मज़ा आता है
कम नहीं होता
प्यार और बढ़ जाता है
अरे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है

मैं कुछ नहीं जानती
हमारी शादी
बीस नवम्बर को ही होगी
लेकिन छाया
आज हम सिर्फ शादी की
बात करेंगे
Ok
छाय
वो बातें नहीं होती
वो रातें नहीं होती
छुप छुपके चोरी से
मुलाकातें नहीं होती
वो बातें नहीं होती
वो रातें नहीं होती
छुप छुपके चोरी से
मुलाकातें नहीं होती

मैं तुम्हारी बातों में
ना आऊँगी
होssss देखो रूठके
घर वापस
चली जाऊँगी
ऐसी बातों से मेरा दिल
घबराता है
अरे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
कम नहीं होता
प्यार और बढ़ जाता है

बात क्या है
परसों दिवाली की
छुट्टी है ना
अरे हाँ
मैं तो भूल ही गया था
तुम्हें कुछ याद
भी रहता है
सच बताऊँ
हम्म
जब तुम सामने रहती हो
तुम्हें देखकर सब कुछ भूल
जाता हूँ
कुछ याद ही नहीं रहता
हम्म हम्मम
बस आ गई चलो

न कंगन न अंगूठी
ये प्रीत तुम्हारी झूठी
ऐसी लागी किसने देखि
कब लागी कब टूटी
न कंगन न अंगूठी
ये प्रीत तुम्हारी झूठी
ऐसी लागी किसने देखि
कब लागी कब टूटी
लो बाहों के हार तुझे
पहनाता हूँ
होsss
तेरी ज़ुल्फों में
ये फूल लगताता हूँ
बाद में पीछे
कौन फिर
ये नाज़ उठाता है
शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
कम नहीं होता
प्यार और बढ़ जाता है
चलो

हम दोनों जीवनसाथी
मैं दीपक
और तू बाती
जल्दी क्या है जब चाहें
आ जाएँगे बाराती
हम दोनों जीवनसाथी
मैं दीपक
और तू बाती
जल्दी क्या है जब चाहें
आ जाएँगे बाराती
तेरे नैनों के झूले में
झूल गयी
होssss
कुछ भी याद नहीं
सब कुछ भूल गयी
तेरा मेरा
जनम जनम
का नाता है
अरे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
शादी करने के बाद ही
प्यार का मज़ा आता है
हे शादी करने से
प्यार कम हो जाता है
कम नहीं होता
प्यार और बढ़ जाता है
