Can't imagine how high the writer must have been when he wrote it. 70s Bollywood was just, something out of this world. The most improbable circumstances & highly impossible scenarios. The dialogues will just make you laugh. They're so fanciful. It's just funny. It's so cliche. And the character background are just, way too improbable circumstances. I mean, how can everyone be just SO RICH everywhere. So much drama has happened in the first 30 min, I seriously am intrigued by how the rest 2 hours are going to. You do need a LOT of patience to watch this. Maybe this was the thing in 70s, but definitely not something worth watching in this generation. Dialo.

Among Shakti Samanta's classic hits one film that stands out is Kati Patang. Not only is the story heart touching but its dialogue,melodious songs(which I feel is one of the best in RD Burman's career) make it a must watch. Rajesh Khanna is absolutely splendid in his role which is romantic as well as dramatic and it doesn't seem that he is lip syncing to any of the songs . And hats off to Asha Parekh who has portrayed like what it's being a woman in her role as a woman pretending to be a widow just for her friend's sake. Speaking about the music I feel the song that stands out is Yeh Shaam Mastani which proves how great Kishore Kumar is Overall it is a perfect mix of romance drama and emotions.

In some ways a typical formula bollywood movie. Good story line, nice songs and of course good acting.

A female is deeply in love with a male. Female role played by Asha Parekh and male role – the role of first lover – Prem Chopra. Prem is actually in love with sexy siren Bindu (had Bindu taken birth in the 1990's – she would have been the most sought after heroine in the Bollywood film industry – Sunny Leone could not have made even an entry!). But Prem was a good actor – so he duped Asha by his lovey-dovey talks and Asha was deeply-2 in love with Prem. So you also know folkswhen a villainous male is in love and has managed to dupe a female to the extent that she readily runs away from home on her wedding day..also means that she probably had 'done that' – yea – I am talking about the process of copulation ..fornication – whatever you may call!! Anyway, Prem throws her out and now Asha had nowhere to go – she could obviously not go back home – her groom got the shock of his life (Rajesh Khanna) – when he came all ready to take home a pretty bride but had to go back empty handed! She boards a train and heads for an unknown destinationtrain meets with an accident (look at her lifegosh! what an adventurous turning point) – her friend dies along with her husband leaving her child behind. Asha pretends to be that friend of hers and reaches her in-laws house (apparently the in-laws had never seen their daughter-in-lawlike they had thrown out their son because he had married against their wishesbut child birth sort of changed their opinion about them – no no – no cell phone of Facebook at that time folks – that images were easily available). Long story short – Asha meets Rajesh Khanna – OK – Rajesh had not seen her picture – like in the US, you have blind datesin India, we have blind marriages! He had just gone to the house – mounted on a horse – only to know that the bride had run away – so he went back home – never bothered to look at her picture also!) Call it decree of fate – Rajesh gets drawn to the widow (Asha was pretending to be a widow remember)- and eventually they get married! Wow! Happy ending! Conclusion – Bollywood tried to make the Indian females understand that they may sleep around with just anyone who catches their fancy – coz. eventually, they will get married to the Hero! The daft category of females are still trying the funda outand causing misery to themselves as well as the society!! So a woman can forget her 1st love after all - see Asha did forget all about Prem Chopra na....so chill!! (esp. for the dumb girls who cling to a single love affair all their life and live is sheer misery!)

Rajesh Khanna, at the height of his stardom, and Asha Parekh, at the nadir of her career as a leading actress, star in this romantic film filled with emotion and evergreen songs. Asha Parekh is excellent as the woman, who after making a bad choice, finds her life spiralling out of control and ends up pretending to be a widow with a child. She lives with her late friend's father living a lie as his daughter-in-law... plus she falling with guy she jilted. Her dilemma gets worse when her former cheating beau bad boy Prem Chopra and his vamp, Bindu, turn up with the threat of blackmail. Classic stuff.

Kati Patang is a big hit from the 1970s and its success was purely on merit. Rajesh Khanna and Asha Parekh teamed for the first time in Kati Patang and the result was some powerful performances and great screen chemistry between the two. After, Aradhana, Shakti opted for Asha Parekh despite his regular Sharmila Tagore. Asha Parekh takes the place of her dead friend and starts living with her in laws -in her friend's identity. She is a widow. Rajesh Khanna falls in love with Asha Parekh and Asha hesitates to reciprocate his love thinking as to what the society will think and say. She is framed for murder by Prem Chopra and Bindu and how Asha with Rajesh Khanna's help comes out of the frame up forms the climax of the story. She eventually marries Rajesh Khanna. Its a lovely film and the film engrosses the viewers for its entire length. The music is superb with all the songs being hits. The highpoint of the film is the dialogs by Vrajendra Gaur. The dialogs are hard hitting, sensitive and heart warming. VRAJENDRA GAUR is no wonder one of the most gifted dialog writers of the Hindi film industry. His sensitivity came through in his dialogs and he penned dialogs for films like Sharmeelee, Lal Paththar, Anuraag, The Great Gambler, Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye, Geet Gaata Chal, Teen Deviyaan, etc.etc. I became his greatest fan after watching Kati Patang. The contribution of the versatile Gaur is very big in making Kati Patang a classic hit. Very few know that Shakti Samanta was Vrajendra Gaur's assistant in the only film directed by Gaur called "Kasturi". Gaur passed on all the subsequent offers to Shakti and returned to his first love writing. He subsequently wrote most of the films made by Shakti. The dialog penned by Vrajendra Gaur in innumerable films will always be remembered as they make us value the true worth of great dialogs.

Kati Patang has everything going for it - a beautiful lead pair, neat script, lively screenplay, lovely dialogues, breathtaking locales, pleasing photography, melodious music & efficient direction. The film tackles the issue of widow remarriage, albeit not so deeply. It is a heroine centric film with Asha Parekh doing full justice to the character, her expressive eyes being a big plus point. She pairs up well with Kaka, though she looks slightly older than him. The supporting cast of Nasser Hussein, Bindhu & Prem Chopra play their parts well. Rajesh Khanna once again walks away with the honours even though the focus is on the heroine. He is at his dashing, handsomest best & does full justice to his character. The songs by R.D Burman are melodious & evergreen - pyar deewana hota hai, yeh sham mastaani etc., The film was liked by people of all ages & was a smasher at the box office.

Rajesh Khanna and Asha Parekh as the lead romantic pair , are quite endearing, in this combination of a little romance, mystery, villainy, and cabaret numbers, plus wonderful music, with meaningful lyrics, and this otherwise commercial movie , succeeds in engrossing you in it's plot line. Film's casting with Prem Chopra as a woman chaser, cheating, two timing villain, Bindu as a vamp, and a cabaret dancer, with that famous number, which includes a dialogue, Tumhara Nam kya hain, ya Madhu, and Rajesh and Asha in their hey days, is satisfactory. even Nassir Hussein as the father-in law, in love with his grandson, and compassionate to his widowed daughter-in-law, who is actually an imposter,by the strange twist of destiny, caused by an unfortunate train accident , delivers a sensitive performance . This movie is pleasant on the eyes too, with it's cinematography, and shooting of outside locations of a hill station, covering beautiful lakes, and greenery around the place, where the story takes place. Asha is a good actress, and her performance as a torn young woman, between her love towards Rajesh, and realization of the unfortunate role of a widow that she has to enact, in a prestigious, wealthy family, is really touching. Rajesh , in his usual stylized mannerisms, and some everlasting songs by kishore Kumar for him to enact on the screen, is adorable. Dialogues are well-written, and poignantly delivered . However, if only we overlook the clichéd situation, that Rajesh was the one, to whom Asha was supposed to be getting married, and elopes for the love of Prem Chopra, who is a bad man in the story, as well as the train accident, The father-in -law, who hasn't seen the girl to whom his son was married before, and Asha entrapped in a situation, to abide by the oath that she would take care of that orphaned baby etc. and finally, the truth dawning on her, that it's Rajesh, whom she had wronged unwittingly, but loves him now deeply, the movie is a passé. This movie made a fairly good business at the box, and most of the songs are still fresh in the people's memory. it also indicates to the problem of young girls eloping from their homes, and landing in trouble eventually. The idea of widow remarriage wasn't acceptable even then, as one can observe from the attitudes of the older generation shown in this movie. Worth watching at least once !
