'''''Benazir''''' is a Hindi film released in [[Bollywood films of 1964|1964]], Starring [[Ashok Kumar]], [[Meena Kumari]], [[Shashi Kapoor]] and [[Tanuja]]. Directed by [[S.Khalil]] and music by [[Sachin Dev Burman]].

==Storyline==

Benazir, a [[Muslim]] family drama, revolves around the film's key characters, Nawab, Anwar, Sahida and Benazir, among others. Nawab and Anwar are brothers who live in an upper-class neighborhood. Nawab is married and has a child. A bachelor, Anwar on seeing Sahida falls in love with her and proposes marriage to her. Although married, Nawab has an affair with Benazir, and keeps her as his mistress. The story takes a twist when Shauket, a family friend, tells Nawab that Anwar frequently sees Benazir. Nawab is furious when one day he sees Benazir in Anwar's arms. He is at a loss as to why his younger brother is seeing his mistress, when he is already in love with Sahida.<ref name=imdb>{{cite web|title=Benazir (1964)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057882/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl|publisher=IMDb.com|accessdate=9 July 2013}}</ref>

==Review==

Although Shashi Kapoor as Anwar and Tanuja as Sahida only make brief appearances, they have done justice to their roles as a beautiful young cheerful pair.<ref name=dustedoff>{{cite web|first=Madhulika |last=Liddle|title=Benazir (1964)|url=http://dustedoff.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/benazir-1964/|publisher=Dustedoff Wordpress|accessdate=9 July 2013}}</ref><ref name=bollyviewer>{{cite web|title=Benazir (1964) - Another of Bimal Roy's forgotten gems|url=http://bollyviewer-oldisgold.blogspot.com/2008/04/benazir-1964-another-of-bimal-roy.html|publisher=Bollyviewer Old is Gold|accessdate=9 July 2013}}</ref>

The music of [[Bimal Roy]]'s Benazir scored by the legendary S. D. Burman is praise-worthy and a special mention should be made of the song, "Mil jaa re jaan-e-jaana".<ref name="dustedoff"/><ref name="bollyviewer"/>
