INTRODUCTION :
Aakhir
Kyon? is a 1985 Indian Bollywood film produced and directed by J. Om
Prakash. It stars Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim, Smita Patil and Rakesh
Roshan.
Nisha
(Smita Patil) is an orphaned child who has been adopted by her
relatives and raised alongside her cousin, Indu (Tina Munim). As both
cousins enter their 20s, Indu falls in love with the rich and
good-looking Kabir (Rakesh Roshan). However, Kabir takes a liking to
Nisha and to the dismay of Indu, marries Nisha, wanting an obedient
and socially accepted wife molding to the traditional conservative
norms as Nisha constrained to, compared to Indu, who was liberal and
progressive in her views and behavior. After marriage, all seems well
in the life of Nisha and Kabir and soon, Nisha becomes pregnant.
Meanwhile, a happy Nisha is oblivious to Kabir’s affairs and
dalliance with several women, on the pretext of business trips.
Nisha’s
pregnancy is deemed as a complication by her doctor and upon the
insistence of Indu’s mother (Shubha Khote), Indu moves into Nisha and
Kabir’s home to take care of her. As Nisha becomes restricted in her
daily activities, Indu gets closer to Kabir and engages in an
extramarital affair with him, reviving her erstwhile attraction to
him. Oblivious to these new changes, Nisha continues with her life
and eventually delivers a girl. Upon return and realizing the affair
between her husband and cousin, she is shattered and confronts Kabir
and Indu. Kabir resists and refuses to end his affair and asks her to
adjust to this change. Nisha refuses and leaves the house, handing
her daughter’s responsibilities to their house maid.
In
the new male-dominated world, Nisha struggles and meets with Alok
(Rajesh Khanna). They quickly become friends and Alok develops
feelings towards Nisha; but Nisha remains focused on her work and
succeeds as an author detailing her life struggles and the fight
against it. On the other side, the relationship between Kabir and
Indu remains stagnant, with their financial situation worsening and
circumstances making them realize their mistakes.
As
Nisha and Kabir’s daughter becomes of married age, a worried Kabir is
unsure how he would afford such an alliance, but Nisha comes and
rescues Kabir by selling him her publishing rights henceforth and
forwarding the royalties to her marriage and life. Kabir apologizes
for whatever happened and repents deeply, leaving Nisha to comment
that she has moved on from her life and does not want her daughter to
know her identity and the pain she might endure knowing her mother’s
fate. As their daughter is married, Alok meets with Nisha and tells
her that its time for them to officiate their relation. As Nisha
resists, still molding to her traditional values, Alok confronts with
a question “Akhir Kyon?” (Why So?) explaining that when she
was going through marital troubles, society blamed her and refused to
support her, so why worry about society. Hence, “Why So?”.
Alok applies sindoor and officiates his relationship with her.
