Manzil Manzil is a 1984 Indian romantic drama film, directed by Nasir Hussain. [1] The film stars Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia along with Danny Denzongpa, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Prem Chopra and Asha Parekh. Parekh had been a heroine in Hussain's films from 1959 to 1971. She returned here in a supporting role as the hero's mother. In her 2017 memoir "The Hit Girl", she wrote that she "felt out of place in marginalised mummy ji characters" and that she had accepted these types of roles against her better judgment. In spite of their personal relationship, she never worked for Hussain after this film. [2]

Plot

The film's protagonist, Vijay, is a young man who lives in the hills with his mother. Vijay is undergoing the training to become a Range Forest Officer. In a different part of the world, a wealthy businessman, Mr. Malhotra, has a daughter named Seema. Malhotra wants his daughter to marry Pawan, the son of his closest friend named Gautam, and Seema is open to this idea.

However, a twist of fate changes their plans. While traveling alone in the countryside, Seema's path crosses with Vijay's, and they fall in love. What they don't know is that Mr. Malhotra has also been approached by an international smuggler named Niranjan Das, who is impersonating Malhotra's childhood friend. The smuggler has a sinister agenda: he wants Seema to marry his son, Roopesh, to gain access to the Malhotra family's wealth and business.

Tragedy strikes when Seema is involved in an accident and loses her memory. She is taken in and cared for by Gautam, the man whose son her father initially wanted her to marry. Gautam, for reasons of his own, keeps Seema isolated and does not allow anyone, including Vijay, to see her. This creates a major obstacle for Vijay, who is desperately trying to reconnect with the woman he loves. Unknown to both Vijay and Gautam, Vijay is actually Gautam’s son.

The film's central conflict revolves around Vijay's struggle to reach Seema, and for Seema to regain her memory. Even if she does recover her memory, she faces the immense pressure of her father's choice, who has been manipulated into consenting to her marriage with the villainous Roopesh.

Manzil Manzil follows Vijay's quest to uncover the truth about Niranjan Das and his illegal activities, while also battling for the love of his life against formidable odds. The story is a journey of love, deception, and a fight for justice, culminating in a dramatic conclusion where the hero must overcome the bad people and reclaim his love.
