Mausam is a 1975 Indian film directed by Gulzar and loosely based story “Weather“, from the novel, The Judas Tree, by A.J. Cronin. Mausam is a dramatic love story of Dr. Amarnath Gill, who falls for Chanda, the daughter of a local healer, Harihar Thapa, when visiting Darjeeling for his medical exams.

Amarnath is called back and promises Chanda to return, though he never keeps his promise. Twenty-five years later, he returns as a wealthy man and searches for Chanda and her father. He learns that Harihar has died and that Chanda was married to a crippled old man. She gave birth to a daughter, became insane and died. Finding Chanda’s daughter, Kajli, he sees that she closely resembles her mother and later discovers that after having been molested by her mother’s brother-in-law, she ended up at a brothel.

Amarnath takes Kajli home and tries to change her into well refined woman to make up for what he did to Chanda. Unaware that Amarnath is indirectly responsible for her mother’s death, Kajli begins to fall for him.

Mausam is one of the finest and intricate drama movies in the history of Indian Cinema. Supported by finest actors like Sanjeev Kumar and Sharmila Tagore, the movie won many accolades both in domestic and international film festivals.
