Common card · No. 238041

Haré Rama Haré Krishna is a 1972 Indian Hindi-language musical satire film written, produced and directed by Dev Anand under the banner of Navketan Films. It stars Anand himself, alongside Mumtaz, Zeenat Aman and Prem Chopra in the lead roles. The film deals with the decadence of the Hippie culture, and aimed to have an anti-drug message and also depicts some problems associated with Westernization. The film was a hit and a star-making vehicle for Aman, who played a westernized hippie, and won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award, as well as the BFJA Award for Best Actress. It was influenced by the 1968 American psychedelic film Psych-Out. The idea for Haré Rama Haré Krishna struck Dev Anand, who was low in spirits due to protests against his previous film Prem Pujari, when he visited Kathmandu, Nepal and encountered hippies living there.
