‘Jaana Pehchana’ is a sequel to the Rajshree Productions
film ‘Ankhiyon ke Jharokhon se’ (1978), a love story
which left us on a tragic note when a young Arun Mathur
(Sachin) was left alone after his soulmate Lily
Fernandes (Ranjeeta) dies of cancer, leaving him in
immense pain.
Now after 32 years, ‘Jaana Pehchana’ reintroduces Arun
Mathur, who has battled the agony of his past and has
risen to be a successful entrepreneur and
philanthropist, motivated by the memories of his beloved
Lily to do noble work and touch people’s lives.
Life has always been one of struggle and loneliness for
Arun, who could never let go of his past. One day like a
breath of fresh air walks in Asha Dayal (Ranjeeta), a
successful writer who is on a mission to write Arun’s
biography.
Ranjeeta and Sachin the leading pair of Ankhiyon
ke Jharokhon Se
After having several meetings, Asha finally brings up
the topic of Arun’s personal life and asks for Lily’s
photo. Arun hesitates as he knows that Asha is unaware
of her uncanny resemblance to Lily.
But fate has other plans for them, as Asha accidentally
stumbles across Lily’s photo. Shocked and consumed by
guilt, Asha becomes aware of the pain she has
unknowingly put Arun through all along. Hence, she
decides to discontinue writing his biography. Arun is
taken aback by Asha’s stance.
Whether Arun convinces Asha to continue with the
biography and does Asha get convinced forms the
remaining part of the story.

Asha lands up at Arun’s office, in spite of being
repeatedly warned that he is not an easily approachable
man and would never grant her permission to write his
biography. But when Arun sees Asha’s face, he is stunned
as he sees a shocking similarity between Asha and Lily’s
face, leaving him speechless.
What is life trying to tell him? Arun is uncomfortable
staring into the face of his past, but it is Asha’s
determination, that gets him to agree to her request and
thus they begin their journey of documenting Arun’s life.
A heart warming love story with a note that love can never
be an unknown emotion as it is always.
Jaana Penchana sees Sachin as a director, lead actor,
singer and screenplay co-writer rolled into one. Junior
Mehmood and Birbal also appear as supporting cast playing
the same roles as in the earlier film Ankhiyon ke
Jharokhon se.
Recommended for the family audience, this drama transcends
the age barrier, as love is never bound by age or image.
“It just happens…” says an emotional Sachin.
