1986 film by Basu Chatterjee
Chameli Ki Shaadi (transl. Chameli’s wedding) is a 1986 Hindi-language comedy film directed by Basu Chatterjee starring Anil Kapoor and Amrita Singh.
Charandas aka Charan, a fledgling wrestler under the tutelage of Mastram, lives with with his brother and sister-in-law. According to his brother, Bhajandas, Charan should marry and start a family of his own. But Charan is determined to become a wrestler and vows to remain a bachelor until the age of 40 as per the norms of Mastram. One day, however, when Charan’s sister-in-law sends him to buy coal from Kallumal’s coal depot, he meets Chameli, Kallumal’s daughter, and starts having second thoughts about his vow. He realizes that to marry her, he may have to leave Mastram’s akhada.
Charan does so and seeks help of advocate Harish, a close friend of his brother. Harish appreciates Charan’s love and is ready to help him. Anita, Chameli’s best friend is also approving of their relationship. Charan confess his love to Chameli and the couple starts to meet secretly. One day, however, a relative of Chameli, who spots the duo in a restaurant, reveal their meeting to her parents.
Chameli’s family make it clear that they won’t allow inter-caste marriage. Chameli is kept under house arrest and her parents decide to have her marry one of their acquaintances. Chameli’s mother, Champa also calls in the help of her rogue brother Chhadamlal aka Chhadmi.
Charan learns of these developments. He frees Chameli from her house arrest and together they go to Harish’s house. Chameli’s parents proceed to the place where Charan and Chameli are going to get married. Meanwhile, Bhajandas also comes with his men to disrupt the marriage. However, both of the parties arrive late, as they are legally married now. They vent their ire on Harish, who, according to them, is responsible for corrupting the couple. Harish takes Kallumal aside and explains that if the marriage is permitted by him, he will garner votes from both of the castes in the upcoming election, that he had decided to participate in, and that his son-in-law is the leader of all the young people and also has support from the akhadas, therefore guaranteeing a win.
Convinced, Kallumal relents; similarly, Harish tells Bhajandas that Kallumal is sure to win the elections, and that if Bhajandas accepts the marriage, he will get special perks, like getting coal and cement at a subsidized rate from Kallumal. Bhajandas also relents. Charan and Chameli get blessings from both of their families.
The music was composed by Kalyanji–Anandji and lyrics by Prakash Mehra and Anjaan.
