Laxmi is a widow with three boys: Vijay, Ajay, and Sanjay, as well as a daughter, Meena. She strives to provide a secure future for her children.
Vijay, the most responsible and caring of the four children, works as a worker in the shadows to support his mother and brothers financially while they study.
In the meantime, Laxmi has gathered a chitfund for her daughter’s wedding and is going to collect it from the concerned person, Gopal. She is taken aback when she discovers that he has deceived her.
When Vijay learns of this, he becomes enraged, and the two fight, with Gopal being killed in the process. The chit fund money is used to lavishly support Meena’s wedding.
A Happy-Family-Destroyed Drama
In the Hindi cinema industry, several films have been made that centre on happy families that lose their happiness. There are so many that “the happy-family-destroyed” drama may be its own genre.

Pyar Ka Mandir is a good film in this area since the family values are solid, and the children, predictably, are the ones who wreck their bliss.
It’s a widespread problem in our society: when parents are no longer needed, children reveal their true personalities. But not Mithun Chakraborty’s Vijay, who loves his siblings and mother unconditionally to the point of sacrificing his own happiness for them and ending up in jail.
When he returns, he discovers that his home, “The Temple of Love,” has vanished. When he encounters his brothers, he is taken aback by their treatment of him, and he misses out on seeing his mother, who is not present. The story of his struggle then begins to take shape.
A well-narrated and melodramatic portrayal of the story
The film, while generally competently narrated, suffers from an overdone, unrealistic, and melodramatic portrayal, and the plot is sometimes hampered by various superfluous subplots and numerous absurd jokes involving Kader Khan’s role as an incompetent and forgetful doctor.
Nonetheless, Laxmikant-Pyarelal creates a beautiful soundtrack, and Kader Khan’s dialogues aren’t bad, albeit a little over-the-top. Mithun puts in a genuine effort. It’s easy to believe his metamorphosis from a happy-go-lucky guy to a serious and melancholy man.
Nirupa Ray shines as the mother who is initially strict and subsequently suffers. As the headstrong and unconditionally loving Radha, Madhavi is lovely, albeit a little too angry.
I won’t list the other cast members because they are good and don’t have as much of an impact. Two sequences in particular moved me: the one in which Vijay finally sees his mother and discovers her in terrible circumstances, and the one in which Vijay chastises his ungrateful brothers.
Pyar Ka Mandir is a really good film, and is emotional and well-narrated.
