7cb1d79195 Naseeb, a story of destiny and fate, begins with a lottery ticket. A drunk who cannot pay his tab trades his &#39;winning&#39; ticket to the waiter, Namdev (Pran), instead. Namdev decides to share this ticket with his three friends Damu (Amjad Khan), Raghu (Kader Khan) and Jaggi (Jagdish Raj). But when it turns out to actually be a winner, Damu and Ragu turn on the other two, murdering Jaggi and framing Namdev. Namdev goes on the run but Raghu and Damu intervene and throw him over a bridge into a river and Namdev is presumed dead. However he is rescued by a don (Amrish Puri) but no one is aware he is alive. Fast forward to ten years later - Damu and Raghu have used their stolen lottery money to build a fabulous hotel and make millions becoming very successful businessmen. Damu has used a share of his money to send his only son, Vicky (Shatrughan Sinha) to school in England. They have even employed Namdev&#39;s oldest son Johnny (Amitabh Bachchan), Vicky&#39;s best friend,a waiter in the hotel. By coincidence (or by fate!) Johnny and Vicky who are the best of friends fall in love with the same beautiful singer, Miss Asha (Hema Malini). Julie (Reena Roy) is a childhood friend of Vicky&#39;s who is in love with Vicky, but he only sees hera friend. When Johnny discovers this, he and Julie sacrifice their own love to ensure that Vicky and Asha get together. At the same time, John&#39;s younger brother Sunny (Rishi Kapoor) has fallen for Asha&#39;s younger sister, Kim (Kim). Kim and Asha also happen to be the daughters of Jaggi, the man Namdev supposedly murdered. Namdev returns soon after and plans to take revenge against Damu and Raghu for separating him from his two sons Johnny and Sunny. The lives of all these characters become inter wined and Naseeb becomes a poignant story about love, friendship, sacrifice, deceit, revenge and above all, destiny. Appropriately enough, Naseeb, a story of destiny and fate, begins with a lottery ticket. A drunk who cannot pay his tab trades his &#39;winning&#39; ticket to the waiter, Namdev, instead. Namdev, Damu, Ragu and one other friend decide to go in on the ticket together, but when it turns out to actually be a winner, Damu and Ragu turn on the other two, murdering the one and framing Namdev. Cut to ten years later - Damu and Ragu have used their stolen lottery money to build a fabulous hotel and make millions. Damu has used a share of his money to send his only son, Vicky to school in England. They have even employed Namdev&#39;s oldest son Johnny, Vicky&#39;s best friend,a waiter in the hotel. By coincidence (or by fate!) John and Vicky fall in love with the same beautiful singer, Miss Asha. At the same time, John&#39;s younger brother Sunny has fallen for Asha&#39;s younger sister, Kim. Kim and Asha also happen to be the daughters of the man Namdev supposedly murdered. The lives of all these characters become intertwined and Naseeb becomes a poignant story about love, friendship, sacrifice and above all, destiny. Manmohan Desai made several entertaining films, his films cared less for logic, story but more for entertainment. MDk is one of the rare directors who gave 4 blockbusters in 1977, After AAA(1977) he made several blockbusters with Bachchan from Parvarish(1977), SUHAAG(1979)and then NASEEB(1981) which was touteda sequel to AAAit starred almost similar stars, Big B and Rishi returned backbrothers, Prantheir lost father.etc This time MDK made the film on a larger canvas and shot the film also on foreign locales and brought a bigger supporting cast, For the song John Jani janardhan he brought almost everyone from Raj Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna to the that time favourite Vinod Mehra The story is somewhat similar, very convulted but yet treated well by MDK and it guarantees full entertainment. The film starts 20 years before, Young Pran and his friends Kader Khan, Amjad Khan and Jagdish Raj(for once not a cop) get a lottery ticket by a drunk Satyen Kapuu and they decide to share it, Then tragedy strikes and the long lost theme starts plus the film forwards 20 yrs later Strangely in the same year in YAARANA too Amitabh and Amjad both friends were separated in childhoodthe latter went abroad to study 20 years later Amitabh worksthe waiter in the hotel run by villains Kader and Amjad and Kader&#39;s son Prem Chopra(though same agehim) and Shakti Kapoor. The film has several funny scenes in the first half like the entire scene where Reena Roy comes with the cake and the chaos that ensure. Rishi crying for 1 mark ala Dharam in Sholay threatening for suicide and then saving Kim(Dimple lookalike) We also have Jeevan(regular of MDk)as a funny principle who flirts with girl&#39;s hostel principle Shobha Khote. Amitabh saving Hema Malini and their love story which starts off funnily but then gets serious with the predictable twist of Shatru/Amit falling for her and then Bachchan sacrificing his love(done superbly with symbolism useda cross showing his sacrifice) Amitabh and Shatru paired in a love triangle 1 year before this film in DOSTANA which too was a superhit The film then becomes an action film and after all pairs get each other the focus begins on nailing down the criminals, Pran returns, Amrish Puri too returns and then we have the predictable MDk style get up dance song Rang Jamake ala Amar Akbar Anthony and an action filled climax. The film does have some flaws like some scenes don&#39;t make sense like how Kim does lipreading when someone faces their back, also several other scenes which are overlooked. The film is quite lengthy too like in those days Direction by MDk is superb Music by LP is superb, most songs were hit like John Jani Janardhan sung by MDK fav Mohammed Rafi who passed away in 1980 and this film was a tribute to him Strangely since SUHAAG MDK didn&#39;t have Kishore the usual fav for Big B sing for him and in this film too Kishore sang for Rishi(Pakdo Pakdo) and for Shatru(Rang Jamake)while Rafi sang for Amitabh. Mere Naseeb mein sung by Lata is still a superhit and performed superbly by Hema Malini Pakdo Pakdo a fun number on Rishi and Kim dancing while playing kabaddi(boys vs girls) and then we have Zindagi Imtehaan leti hai when Big B realises that Shatru too loves Hema, the song is apt sung by Dr. Kamlesh Avastathi. Anwar, Suman Kalyanpur, Chorus Anwar sounded similar to Rafi while Kamlesh sounded like Mukesh, but the latter was annoying, Anwar made his career singing songs like Rafi which was followed by Shabbir Kumar and Mohammad Aziz. Most memorable song is also CHAL MERE BHAI wherein a drunk Amitabh sings in his own voice with Rishi Kapoor coming to try to convince him to go home, Rafi and Big B make a good team The finale dance number Rang Jamake with all in get ups is also a brilliant number, KK, Rafi and Shailendra return after Hum Premi(Parvarish) and make a good team The film is quite similar to AAA,in both films Amitabh has a drunk scene, Shatru&#39;s role was supposed to be played by VK who had left to US that time while Rishi does his cartoonish act similarly in the climax Also we have Pran here tooBig B&#39;s lost father<br/><br/>Amongst actors Amitabh Bachchanusual stands tall and he plays the main lead He proves his versatility by performing superbly in action, romance, comedy, drama. In all MDK films he always entertained the masses and gave his most freewheeling performance, This was his last classy film with MDK like AAA, after that he made crass films like COOLIE and MARD and then GJS. Hema Malini looks beautiful and does well in her role and looks charming and has superb chemistry with Big B. Her bike scenes are a treat Shatrughan Sinha looks overweight but does quite well in his role This was his last film with Big B so far, Rumours were abuzz that both were big time rivals those days and there never spoke during the shoot Rishi Kapoor again entertains after AAA, He is one actor who always entertained never mind if his role was a second lead or main lead. His comedy timing is superb and also his drama scenes Kim resembles Dimple Kapadia and does okay Reena Roy in her biggest film perhaps does a superb job Amongst the huge supporting cast Pran is superb, Amjad Khan and Kader Khan are goodthe bad guys Amrish Puri is superb in his small role Lalita Pawar does wellusual, Jeevan and Shobha Khote are funny, Viju Khote has one scene Prem Chopra and Shakti Kapoor are goodthe villain cum jerks. Mukri is funny Naseeb is a multi budget Movie that was a Big Blockbuster Hit. It had a Extremely large star cast to create one of the biggest Indian films ever made. Naseeb is the typical Manmohan Desai movie that contains Action, Romance, Comedy, Family relationships and lots of fun and entertainment. Naseeb meaning fate has many points in the movie which counts on Fate. Amitabh Bachchan was goodusual. Rishi Kapoor was pretty amusing. Shutrungh Sinha was honestly speaking boring. Hema Malini was tremondous and was the Best actress of the early 80s. Reena Roy and Kim don&#39;t have much scope. Naseeb has almost all the Bollywood Villains ever from Amjad Khan, Kader Khan, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra and Om Shivpuri. Manmohan tries to add many characters in small or main roles from Pran to Jeevan. It even has a song sequence that celebrates the Silver Jubilee of a previous movie by the same director. The song has Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna and the famous Kapoor family members including the late Raj Kapoor who was a classic Bollywood Actor. This movie is Big in actors and Big in Production. A big time entertainer.
