Amir Garib is a 1974 Indian Hindi-language film produced and directed by Mohan Kumar. The film stars Dev Anand, Hema Malini, Prem Nath, Tanuja, Sujit Kumar and Ranjeet. The film's music is by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
Manmohan alias Moni lives a dual life. One as a musician, and the other as a thief with the name of Bagula Bhagat, whose prime agenda is to rob the rich, and spread the wealth with the poor. He meets with a young woman named Sunita alias Soni, and both fall in love with each other. Things change for the better for Soni, when she meets her wealthy long-lost father, Daulatram, and goes to live with him. She decides not to have to do anything with Moni. When Moni attempts to meet Soni to find out why she has rejected him, she refuses to meet him. Then Moni finds out that Soni is not who she claims she is, and definitely not the daughter of Daulatram, but the daughter of another wealthy man named Nandlal, who had died under mysterious and destitute circumstance.
Rajesh Khanna was originally cast in the lead role, but replaced with Anand due to his truancy from meetings with Kumar.[1]
In a scene, Dev Anand is seen riding a Victoria that has number 203, reminding on 1972 movie 'Victoria No.203'. K.A. Narayan was writer of both the movies.
