## Plot[edit]

The film begins with the beautiful scenes of Nepal. The child version of Dhun (Dev Anand)is a student of a music school run by (AK Hangal), where he makes a friend (Kabir Bedi). Dhun grows up to become a talented music teacher who his students love. Dhun is in love with Pammy (Shabana Azami), but she comes under the influence of her father and denies the love of Dhun. Dhun broken hearted leaves the school job and decides to go to the Math (a highest mountain in Nepal). He comes upon an Inn called Six Sisters Inn, run by Pahar (Premnath). He decides to stay there for a while. He meets the sisters, and falls in love with the one named Pooja (Zeenat Aman). In one of the incidents, Pooja slips from a cliff and Dhun saves her amidst an avalanche and snow storm. Pooja falls in love with Dhun, and both hope to marry soon. Pahar does raise objections, but they soon are overcome. Just when the marriage is being planned, the family come to know that both Pooja and Dhun are related, and the relationship is that Dhun is Pooja's maternal uncle. But the film ends with a surprising climax.

## Notes[edit]

During the making of this movie, Dev Anand surveyed the location from a helicopter in Nepal. It also involved the thrilling experience of trekking and sleeping in tents. A perfectionist to the core, Dev Saab identified Shyangboche, with hardly any habitation and decided to have his shooting in the hilly areas of Nepal. Dev Saab claims, “If you ever happen to see ‘Ishq, Ishq, Ishq’, look out for that shot of Mount Everest with a sweetheart of a cloud spinning around it, a very rare sight indeed!”

## Reception[edit]

Despite the famous tracks, which were composed by no other than R. D. Burman and the expensive budget for the film, the film was received as the "biggest disaster" for Dev Saab and his crew.[1]
