    Ashok Kumar is the nominal star of this period musical set in the magnificent city of Lucknow at the turn of the last century. However, the storyline turns on student Rajendra Kumar's passion for the innocent and burkha-clad Sadhana, that is predictably frowned upon by his elitist, class-conscious family. The film is best remembered today for Naushad's title song, which is performed at various times by legendary playback singers Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar. Mention should also be made of HS Rawail's direction. Although he was something of a slapstick specialist, the colourful theatricality he brings to the action adds considerably to the charm of this cross-class romance.

    A Classic Movie

    Great Movie. Huge starcast and unforgettable performances by the actors. The songs by Mohammad Rafi are very touching and very romantic. Sadhana looks absolutely gorgeous. A must see movie if you are into oldies.

    This is a very good quality DVD (running time 2.50hrs): the colour is a little odd in places, but the picture and sound quality are good, and there no obvious gaps or missed songs. (There is just one minor problem with the DVD, which is that the subtitles go badly out of synch with the picture after about 2.30hrs.) As for the film itself, “Mere Mehboob” was a superhit in 1963, and deservedly so: it has a strong story; well-written dialogue; good performances from all the leads; beautiful & authentic looking sets & costumes; and, above all, an absolutely superb soundtrack from Naushad. Almost every song (singers are Lata, Asha & Rafi) is a gem.
