Description "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" is a 1971 Indian film directed by Dev Anand starring himself and Zeenat Aman. The film was a hit and a star-making vehicle for Zeenat Aman, who played a westernized hippie, and won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award, as well as the BFJA Award for Best Actress. Other actors are Mumtaz, Baby Guddi, Master Shahid, Baby Deepali, Satyajit Puri, Yashodra Katju, Prem Chopra, Rajendra Nath and Mehmood Jr. The movie dealt with the decadence of the Hippie culture. It aimed to have an anti-drug message and also depicts some problems associated with Westernization such as divorce. The music of the film was composed by Rahul Dev Burman and the lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. Asha Bhosle won Filmfare Best Female Playback Award for the song "Dum Maro Dum", which was a huge hit. The story for Hare Rama Hare Krishna actually came to Dev Anand's mind when he saw hippies and their fallen values in Kathmandu where he was on a visit after protests against his previous film Prem Pujari in Calcutta. He was low in spirits because his film had been opposed and some had burnt Prem Pujari's posters. [Wikipedia]
