BRIEF INTRODUCTION A moving story about love and innocence, revolving around a broken romance followed by the protagonist looking for his lost child.

The Film Chetan Anand was able to capture something very special in this film, the bare innocence of life in the most beautiful and natural way. The last scene of the film is very moving, it’s too natural to be cinematic. No wonder, Aakhri Khat was selected as India’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 40th Oscars in 1967. Chetan Anand’s quite underrated work.

P.S. Aakhri Khat marked the debut of Rajesh Khanna. Music and the songs of the film are unforgettable.
