Another stellar movie from genius gulzar sahab ..He is undoubtly best filmakar of our cinema ..His movies has strong social landscape with deep heart touching emotions..He has ability to take out best performances from commercial wooden emotion less actors ..Hema malini at her career best performance..He transformed jeetendra into a excellent actor from a useless commercial jumping jack ..

Other detectors had chosen to entertaining people and make quick money. We are making hundreds of film every year. (by getting inspired, remaking, copying etc.) We have most crazy film-lover audience in world. But where are good films? Watch this movie and learn the objects and elements of film. Learn how to depict emotions and what impression it leaves on viewers' heart for decades.Khusboo is one of my most favorite film. 1 - See the casting, all actors' personality in that era. Big Contrast! Unique! 2 - See the story telling. This story is not as simple as you see in the film. ( Brindavan's earlier wife, Kid, Doctoring, Kusum's pain, waiting for years, plague, love, limits...) 3 - Listen music. Composted by Rocking RD Burman. But you never feel it overdone. It helps story/scene. 4 - This kind of films should be made for Oscar. Love you Gulzaar Saab!

Gulzar was an amazing filmmaker, he gave us several great films After Parichay, he returned with Jeetendra with yet another riveting drama called Khushboo(1975) co starring Hema Malini The film was based on the Bengali novel "Panditmashai" by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay which was earlier filmed in Bengali in 1951 by Naresh Mitra. The film has a story which may sound dated today, but at it's time it seems real.As most Gulzar films, this too has a good plot and it's well handledDirection is superb Music by RD Burman is amazing, O Mhaaji Re is the best song sung by Kishore Kumar, rest songs too are goodJeetendra yet again after Parichay gives a restrained performance, it seems Gulzar cut his filmy style hair for this film on the sets to give him a normal average look and it works well, he is superb too in his role Hema Malini did this film alongwith SHOLAY where she played a contrasting role, here she is amazing in her role Sharmila Tagore is superb in a small role,Farida Jalal is superb Asrani lets go off his comic image and plays a superb role and does a great job, rest are all good

A child marriage broken off before adolescence because of land disputes between two families has Kusum (Hema Malini) feeling lonesome for she is adhering to the vows made when she was but a child, even though in a fit of despair she has tried to burn off all memories of her betrothal, including the tattoo on her arm. Brindaban (Jeetendra), her betrothed and now a doctor, returns with his young son Charan (Master Rajoo) and the meeting of the two is triggered by a sickness in Kusum's village. Poignancy flows with tenderness from Sarat Chandra's pen as the story unfolds, and Kusum's antagonism fades towards Brindaban as his perceived infidelity from his marriage to now-deceased Lakhi/Kamla (Sharmila Tagore) turns out to be yet another case of unjust separation .... A natural bond of mother and son develops between Kusum and Charan, and watching them together is a delight.Will Kusum and Brindaban reconcile their differences?Masterfully woven into 2+ Hours of very touching screenplay, Sampooran Singh Gulzar gives us the viewers many moist-eyes moments, with some very lilting music from Rahul Dev Burman. Kishore Kumar's rendition of 'O Maajhi re' is superb.
