Sanjiv(Sunil Dutt) is a carefree, fun loving, exu-berant young man with a passion for living the exciting modern way, with no thought for the morrow. His mother (Mumtaz begum) dotes on him and nothing that her son does is ever wrong in her eyes, even his mature playfulness! His father (Bir Sakhuja), well, he is only a silent spectator of his son’s antics, only occasionally giving vent to his pent-up feelings at the thought that his son never seems to grow up to be a man !
Sushma (Waheeda Rehman) is a petite, pretty, captivating lady with a dazzling smile and impish brain. She has been orphaned very early in life. She is surrounded by four uncles, each of whom has a different viewpoint in life. They are Johnny Walker, Dhoomal, David and Rashid Khan. They stand around her like the four posts of a bed, each thinking that he is Sushma’s chosen guardian and therefore she must conformed only to his individual wish and pattern of life. So Sushma is the flower and her uncles, four thorns and which ever way the girl turns a thorn must prick !
But one fine day, Sanjiv meats Sushma and knows that his search for his dream girl is over. If the attraction is mutual. Suahma does not, on her part, show it. But Sanjiv’s wooing is tempestuous! Even if the girl where made of stone, she could not fail to be impressed by Sanjiv’s gaiety and earnest love-making. But as it happens, Sushama is only human and by degrees, she succumbs to Sanjiv’s approaches and give her heart to him completely. But openly, Sushma dare not entertain Sanjiv as her lover, nor look upon him as her future husband, for how is she going to satisfy her four terrible uncles, each one of whom has his own fixed idea as the type of husband Sushma should have! Uncle Johnny is the gay, rock-n-roll loving. English apeing happy-go-lucky type. So Sushma’s future husband too must be like him. Dhoomal is a devotee of Ram, spending most of his time on prayer, contemplation and reading the holy Geeta. Sushma must look for a man like himself! David is the great dramatist, so Sushma better find a man who is the perfect stage artist! Rashid Khan is a physical culturist. To him body care is a sacred thing. Oh, Sushma! how ever are you going to get a husband who can combine these four, terribly diverse diametrically opposite personalities!
But that is the beauty and charm of this screen-fare titled EK PHOOL CHAR KANTE which sets two young hearts a very complicated problem to solve, and it is the mode of solution that provides on the screen a type of entertainment you have never dream of till today!
