Love Marriage is a 1959 Hindi Bollywood film directed by Subodh Mukherji.The film stars Dev Anand,Mala Sinha and Helen.The music was given by Shankar Jaikishan while the lyrics were written by Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra.


Dev Anand (born 26 September 1923) is a famous Indian Bollywood actor, director and film producer. Dev is the second of three brothers who were active in Bollywood. His elder brother Chetan Anand was a film director, as was his younger brother, Vijay Anand. Their sister, Sheel Kanta Kapur, is the mother of renowned Hindi and English film director Shekhar Kapur.

Dev was offered his first big break by Ashok Kumar. Kumar spotted Dev hanging around in the studios and picked him as the hero for the Bombay Talkies production, Ziddi, costarring Kamini Kaushal (1948) which became a success. In 1949, Dev turned producer and launched his own company Navketan, which continues to produces movies.

Dev was successful after that. Dev relied on Guru Dutt as director for the crime thriller, Baazi (1951). The dice rolled in favour of this creative collaboration; the Sahir Ludhianvi, lyricist song, Tadbeer se bigdi huyee taqdeer bana de, proved prophetic and Dev became a true star.

He also played a few characters with a negative shade, like in Jaal (1952). His films Rahee and Aandhiyan, were screened there along with Raj Kapoor's Awaara. In the same year, Taxi Driver was declared a hit. Dev's heroine was Kalpana Kartik nee Manorama Singha again, and the two decided to marry in a quiet ceremony.

Marriage and the birth of son Suneil in 1956 did not affect Dev's career. A rapid-fire style of dialogue delivery, an array of hats , and a penchant for nodding while speaking became Dev's style in films like Munimji, C.I.D. and Paying Guest. His style was lapped up by the audience and was widely imitated. He starred in a string of box office successes for the remainder of the 1950s. In 1955 he also co-starred with Dilip Kumar in Insaniyat.

Despite his characteristic style, Dev's detractors cast aspersions on his acting abilities. However, with his acting in Kala Pani (1958), as the son who is willing to go to any lengths to clear his framed father's name, he won the Best Actor Award for the film.

He was romantically involved with singer-actress Suraiya and the two of them paired in six films together. She fell in love with him when — during the shooting of a song sequence in the film — a boat capsized and Dev Anand saved Suraiya from drowning. Her grandmother opposed the relationship as they were Muslims and so,Suraiya remained unmarried all her life.

His first film in colour, Guide with Waheeda Rehman was based on the novel of the same name by R. K. Narayan. Dev Anand himself was the impetus for making the film version of the book. He met and persuaded Narayan to give his assent to the project. Dev Anand tapped his friends in Hollywood to launch an Indo-US co-production that was shot in Hindi and English simultaneously and was released in 1965. This is regarded by many as his best work to-date.

Guide, directed by younger brother Vijay Anand, was an acclaimed movie with Waheeda Rehman.He reunited with Vijay Anand for the Jewel Thief, featuring a bevy of beauties led by Vyjayanthimala and including Tanuja, Anju Mahendru, Faryal and Helen.Their next collaboration, Johnny Mera Naam (1970) was a big hit. Unlike Raj and Dilip, who slowed down in the Seventies, Dev continued to be a romantic hero.

His maiden attempt at direction drama Prem Pujari, flopped, but Dev got lucky with his 1971 directorial effort, Hare Rama Hare Krishna . Zeenat Aman, who played the mini-skirt sporting, pot-smoking Janice, became an overnight sensation. Dev also became known as a filmmaker of trenchantly topical themes. This same year, he starred with Mumtaz in Tere Mere Sapne,The film was directed by Dev's brother, Vijay.

The presence of his discoveries — the Zeenat and later, the Tina Munim (heroine of Dev's last recognised hit Des Pardes in 1978) — fuelled Dev's image as the evergreen star even when he was well into his fifties.

Dev Anand's films are well known for their successful songs. Some of the most popular Bollywood songs were from his films.His association with music composers Shankar-Jaikishen, O. P. Nayyar, S.D Burman and his son R.D Burman, lyricists Hasrat Jaipuri, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Neeraj, Shailendra, Anand Bakshi, and playback singers Mohammad Rafi, Mukesh and Kishore Kumar produced some very popular songs.

Dev Anand died in his sleep on Dec 3, 2011 after Cardiac arrest at the Washington Mayfair Hotel in London .

  • Rafi sahib is long gone, but he continues to enthrall all of us with his great voice.

    Many singers have come and gone, many have had their 15 minutes of fame, but there will never be another Rafi.

    Sad but true. Rafi sahib, rest in peace in the other world. Heaven's gain, our loss!

  • Bhagwaan ne kahaa "Arre Rafi ji - aap human beings ke liye bahut gaa liye - ab hamare mehfil mein humko apni sureeli aawaz mein geet sunaaiyiye aur entertain keejiye!"

    But Rafi ji will always live in our hearts forever.

  • sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh silence the god is singing only listen no voice please .....

  • RAFI SAHAB JUST SUBDUED LATA, RAFI IS SO MELODIOUS SUREELA SINGER, AWSOME, LEAST TO SAY, THE 'RAFI- MAJIC'

  • With Rafi singing in the background.......... one always think that it is Dev Anand, Dharmendra or Guru Dutt who is singing. Such was the greatness of Rafi saheb's voice that he became the voice of the person he sang for.

    I am yet to come across someone who can do this feat.

  • Mohd Rafi's Voice is mesmerising!!!!

    This song is just sooooo Beautiful!!!!

    Captures the essence of New Love perfectly!!!
