Synopsis Two friends Pratap (Dev Anand) and Kashinath (Girish Karnad) are bound by their passion of music. Pratap, who has a doctorate in music, has created a machine, which can perfect a human voice. As music and their friendship leave room for little else, both Pratap & Kashinath are confirmed bachelors till one day Pratap has a bet with Kashinath that if he, in 6 month's time, can polish and perfect any girl's voice, Kashinath will marry her. One day, having to travel by train, they come across Kamli (Tina Munim), a poor girl who sells datuns on the train. She is crass, crude and abusive - a perfect case study for Pratap, who persuades her to allow him to train her voice. He then reminds Kashinath of the bet and that if he perfects Kamli's voice in 6 months, Kashinath will have to marry her. So begins Kamli's transformation into a perfect woman. Meanwhile, however, Pratap unknowingly falls in love with Kamli and she with him.
How will Pratap, Kamli and Kashinath untangle themselves from this web? Will Kamli and Pratap find each others love? Man Pasand is Basu Chatterjee's light-hearted comedy supported by frothy lilting music by Rajesh Roshan, lyrics by Amit Khanna and songs like 'Rehne Ko Ghar Hoga', 'Logon Ka Dil', 'Suman Sudha' and 'Charu Chandra Ki'.
