Koshish (Template:Trans) is a 1972 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama movie starring Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri, written and directed by Gulzar. The movie depicts a deaf and mute couple and their conflicts, pain and struggle to carve out a niche for themselves in a desensitized society. It was inspired by the 1961 Japanese film Happiness of Us Alone.[1] The film was remade in Tamil in 1977 as Uyarndhavargal starring Kamal Haasan and Sujatha.[2]
Plot
The movie is a lesson on how to live life, examining the lives of Haricharan (Sanjeev Kumar) and Aarti (Jaya Bhaduri), who are deaf and mute. They meet, fall in love, marry and have a child. They raise him well and he marries a girl similar to his parents. All they have to help them is their hope, confidence and some kindness in the society, along with Narayan (Om Shivpuri), who is blind. Tragedy strikes their lives as well when they lose their first child thanks to Kanu's greed, but they never give up hope on life and not in one instance during the entire movie do they think about ending it. They live life, fight for it and succeed at a bigger scale than any normal person.
