Hum Naujawan (1985)

This is a movie you do not want to miss. Dev Anand plays Hans, principal of Oceanic college. Hans is an idealist. He exhorts his students to abide by good moral values and culitivate good study habits. Hans deplores smoking, drinking and partying. Most students love him. But despite this popularity, he has his enemies. Prodigal Shammi (Atlee Brar), son of major national politician Desai (Lagoo), rallies a bratpack of amoral wasted youths against him. These rambunctious party animals prefer indulging in cigarette, daru and 'kothas' (places of ill repute) to books and lectures. One day Hans's daughter Priya (played by debutante Tabu) is found murdered and the autopsy reveals a rape. An underwear and a caricature taunting Hans, both with fingerprints of the suspected, are also discovered. The rest of the drama is a tale of vengeance. It is the tale of a man caught in a decript social system that systematically misguides youngsters. Can Hans wade through the intricate web of political connections that refuses to chastise the powerful ? इन् सब सवालों के जवाब के लिए देखिये हम नौजवान. An amazing performance by Dev sahab and drop out actress Richa Sharma known to Page 3 geeks as Sanjay Dutt's long term wife.
