Rajkumar is a classic Bollywood movie released in 1964, starring the heartthrob of that era, Shammi Kapoor as the titular character. The movie highlights the struggle and rise of Rajkumar, a simple-looking but kind-hearted mechanic who lives with his brother and sister-in-law. The story begins with Rajkumar rescuing the beautiful and spunky Chanda, played by Sadhana Shivdasani, from a group of goons who are harassing her. Chanda is a dancer and singer who aspires to make it big in the music industry. Rajkumar is immediately smitten by Chanda's beauty and spirit, and the two fall in love. However, their love faces challenges as Chanda's boss, the ruthless and cunning Kailash Nath, played by Pran Sikand, who also desires her.

Kailash Nath is a wealthy businessman who wants to control Chanda's career and break into the music industry through her talent. In order to do so, he offers to launch Chanda as a singer and dancer, but only if she agrees to be in a relationship with him. When Chanda refuses his advances, he plots to destroy her career and reputation.

Rajkumar, who is known for his innocent and carefree nature, is determined to protect Chanda and her dreams. He challenges Kailash Nath and his associates, which leads to a series of intense and action-packed sequences. Along with his loyal friends, including his brother and sister-in-law, Rajkumar fights for justice and confronts the evil forces in his pursuit of love and the right thing.

The movie is set against the beautiful backdrop of Kashmir, which adds to the visual splendor of the movie. The music of Rajkumar was composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, and it features some of the most beautiful melodies of that time. Songs like "Aaja Aai Bahar," "O Meri Sharmilee," and "Yeh Kya Kar Dala Tune," are still remembered and hummed by the audience.

Shammi Kapoor's performance as Rajkumar is remarkable. He portrays a character who is jovial and light-hearted but at the same time, he is brave and fearless in the face of adversity. His effortless dance moves and charming personality were a major highlight of the movie. Sadhana Shivdasani is also impressive in her portrayal of Chanda. She brings out the confidence and grace of a woman who is determined to achieve her dreams. Pran Sikand's character as the antagonist, Kailash Nath, is sinister and menacing, and he does justice to his role as the villain.

The movie is directed by K. Shankar, who manages to balance the romance and action sequences perfectly. The dialogues of the movie are catchy and memorable, like "Tumne Mujhe Dekha, Ho Kar Meharban," which is still used as a pick-up line by many.

Overall, Rajkumar is a classic Bollywood movie that continues to be remembered and admired by generations of moviegoers. It celebrates the spirit of love, friendship, bravery, and perseverance against all odds.
