Rajnigandha - Movie

 1974. Basu Chatterjee's film based on the short story 'Yahi Sach Hai' by Mannu Bhandari. It's about a woman who is in love with a man, gentle and kind, but forgetful and lost in his own world. She meets an old flame when she goes to Bombay for a job interview and finds in him all the qualities that are missing in her current boyfriend. However much she hopes he will rekindle their affair, he does not. And in the end her new boyfriend comes and all is well. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Vidya Sinha looks stunningly beautiful and perfect for the role. Loved the Delhi and Bombay and the time it captured. So progressive with so little that world was.
