Amar Kahaani (1949) movie was released in 1949 and it failed. Six years later, the maker of the movie, secure in the knowledge that few people recalled his movie, decided to re release the movie again. No, he did not make a fresh movie with new actors. He re released the same movie again, by simply changing the title. So this was a case of an old wine beiing resold in the same old bottle. Only the label was changed. This time, the movie was titled “Kanchan”(1955).
The movie was produced by Rajendra Singh for Kamal Kunj Chitra production. It was directed by Brij Sharma. The movie had Suraiyya, Rajnan, P Jairaj, Jagdish Mehta, Raj Mehra, Sapru, Ajit etc.
Here is the story of the movie, given by Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh:
Kanchan(Suraiyya) looks forward to marrying her lover Surendra(Jairaj)a lawyer,but his father(Raj Mehra) has promissed his marriage to Nirmala(Ranjana)-his friend Manoharlal’s son.
The marriage takes place. Kanchan’s brother is accused of murder, so Kanchan keeps going to Surendra for legel advise, which creates doubt and envy in Nirmala’s mind. Instigated by her manager Virendra(Ajit), Nirmala attempts Kanchan’s murder, but she survives injured.
Nirmala is arrested and suffers sorrow,pain and misery….etc.
note- In the end Surendra and Kanchan get married.
