In a crucial scene in the film, when Ramu has to separate himself from Mohan for the sake of his studies, their pathos is evident. Instead of begging, the two earn pennies by singing and playing music on the street, all with the aim of saving up enough money so Ramu can go to school. (Photo: Express Archives)īut despite all the love they have for each other, they know that finances are still a sore point for them. As soon as their paths cross, they know that they are supposed to be with each other for life. Mohan encourages Ramnath to complete his education and Ramnath, in turn, believes that education will make him a successful man which can aid Mohan’s eye surgery to get his sight back. The two boys, who are seen as flawed by the rest of society, see each other as their partners for life just because they accept each other for who they are. Mohan (played by Sudhir), who has made peace with his visually challenged life, has accepted his reality and knows that to survive, he has no option but to beg on the streets. As we meet Ramnath (played by Sushil), we see a boy who has a promising future but does not have the resources to get the kind of education he deserves. Dosti follows Ramu and Mohan, two teenage boys who live on the streets, and how their physically challenging life leads them to discover that they complete each other. It is the unconditional nature of the relationship that Ramnath aka Ramu and Mohan share that does not allow you to question their love for each other. Starring Sudhir Kumar and Sushil Kumar, Satyen Bose’s Dosti is still considered to be the epitome of friend-love in Hindi cinema. 57 years after its release, watching Dosti in 2021 evokes that divine sensation that makes us think if the separation between romantic love and platonic love is just based on our perception.
#DOSTI 1964 MOVIE DRIVER#
Ever since we can remember, romantic love stories have been the essential plot driver in the majority of Hindi films so when a film blends love with friendship in an almost sacred way, it feels divine.
