Tumsa Nahi Dekha Written & Directed By Nasir Hussain....After Writing For Movies Like Anarkali,Munimji & Paying Guest...This Was The First Time He Was Directing A Movie....

The Story Is Twenty Years Ago, After Killing His Brother, Sardar Rajpal Flees & Re-Locates In Assam Along With His Adopted Daughter Meena..... He Asks His Wife To Send Their Son, Shankar, So That He Can Employ Him.... Shankar Arrives... Sardar Employs Him... A few Days Later Another Young Man Shows Up At His Door Claiming To Be Shankar. A Baffled Sardar Welcomes Him & Puts Both The Young Men Under Observation In Order To Find Who Is The Real Shankar...Screenplay Is Fine...

Shammi Kapoor As Shankar....Does Very Well...His Comic Timing & Chemistry With Meena Is Awesome....Ameeta As Meena Is Gorgeous...She is Fine Throughout The Movie....B.M Vyas As Sardar Rajpal Is Well Written Character ...He Gives One Of The Better Performance....Pran As Sohan Is OK But Have Been Better....

Music Is Composed By O.P.Nayyar...Which Is The Best Part Of The Movie...All The Songs Did Well.... The Film's Original Lyricist was Sahir Who Wrote The Title Song But He Opted Out & Majrooh Sultanpuri Was In....."Tumsa Nahi Dekha" By Rafi..."Sir Par Topi" By Asha-Rafi & "Chhupne Wale Saamne Aa" By Rafi....Are Some Classic Compositions...

Overall A Good Movie...This Was The First Successful Movie For Shammi Kapoor...It Was A Good Attempt By The Writer To Direct...:)

Musical of the year 1957...
rjogadiya3 August 2005
Nasir Husains gem of a movie, story is quite predictable however the editing and background score of the music keeps the viewers glued to the TV set. O.P Nayyar at his best in the music composition.

All songs are evergreen melodies, my personal favorite is 'Dekho Kasam se...'.

One thing most noticeable about O.P.Nayyars composition is the ability of him to create such feet tapping, easy listening and melodious numbers.

Definitely worth a watch.

Also Shammi Kapoor is great with his excellent comic timing and Ameeta is gorgeous.

Pran is little bit sober than his usual villain performances but still great acting.

Sardar Rajpal (Gopal) brought up Ameeta as his own daughter.earlier in the past he was looted by his own two brothers and brought to ruins.his one brother Amarnath died at his hands.he left his wife Kamla and runs away.his wife and son were thought to have died in the fire that burned down there house.he goes to Assam's jungles and settles there.

Shammi Kapoor hates his father.his father gives an ad for farm worker along with a coded ad which only his wife could understand ,his mother sees it and sends Shammi Kapoor to him without telling him that he is his father along with a letter addressed to his father.meanwhile Rajpal's brother too sees the ad and wants revenge.his son Pran has other plans .he wants to impersonate as his son and dupe him of his whole wealth.

Shammi Kapoor and Ameeta meet at the railway station when she is returning to her home from a visit to the city. both are in the same train same compartment going to the same place,her friend's father dies in an accident.she leaves her.Ameeta left alone with Shammi Kapoor is greatly perturbed by his familiarity and friendly overtures.getting off from the train they take a horse-cart since both have to go to the same place and there is only one cart.

on the way the cart wheel comes off and it also begins to rain.they take shelter in a near by bungalow.Pran too arrives there and accidentally gets the letter (which Shammi Kapoor's mother has written to her husband) when a thief is leaving the bungalow laden with guest's clothes.Pran sends a letter to his father to kill Shammi Kapoor's mother.

when there clothes get stolen they suspect each other.the colonel who owns the bungalow treats them well and arranges for there journey to there destination.

Pran arrives before them and Rajpal thinks that he is his son.police also get hot on Rajpal's trail as he is a murderer a fugitive.Shammi Kapoor too gets another copy of the letter from his mother and goes to the colonel he is confused as to who is his real son.he puts them both on the job.

Pran hides his father's photograph in Shammi Kapoor's box.a false letter from Pran's father in Shammi Kapoor's name is left in his apartment.Rajpal reads it he is furious thinking he has come to ruin and harm him..He beats Shammi Kapoor and throw him in a dungeon.tribes living near the jungle are his friends.they get Shammi Kapoor free.Pran catches Ameeta ties her up.police issues warrant for Rajpal.Rajpal meets his wife eventually which clears all misgivings.Pran's father is killed in clashes pran is send to prison,Ameeta is freed and Rajpal too dies in the gun battle.

all the six songs in the film are real gem and have survived the test of time still very popular and captivating.tunes by O P Nayyar are foot tapping and melodious.lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri make the tunes more beautiful and adorn them like jewels.all the songs have been sung by Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle beautifully.

1)"Aayen Hai Door Se" is a fabulous song. 2)"Chupnewale Samne Aa" is a beautiful song. 3)"Dekho Kasam Se" is really endearing.

4)"Sar Per Topi Lal Hath Me Resham Ka Roomal" is a Punjabi folk foot tapping dance number. 5)"Jawaniya Ye Mast Mast Bin Piye" is an intoxicating love song on Shammi Kapoor 6)"Yun To Humne Lakh Hasin" is a mischievous romantic comical song.

old world charm and romance comes out in the movie,Shammi Kapoor looks mesmerizing romantic.Ameeta looks beautiful with her black tresses and lights up the screen.both share a great chemistry.its a lovely film.
