Trikon Ka Chautha Kon ( 4th Angle of a Triangle) is an early 80s Hindi contemporary movie. The movie extracts an issue of love with a woman other than the wife (extra marital affair). But the movie did not indicate any physical relationship with the girl friend.
The movie is starred by Vijyendra Ghatge (Prakash) , Swaroop Sampat (Manisha) and a Priyadarshini (Uma) .
Vijyendra met with an NRI girl in Mumbai and on the streets of Delhi . He dared to talk to her and both of them started to spend time together. But suddenly the girl went to Uganda back without leaving a message and address. Prakash got surprised and saddened. His widow mother insisted to marry Uma who always wanted to marry Vijyendra but he does not love her. After sometimes, he finally agreed to marry her mother's repetitive requests. Initially he could not love his wife but slowly he started to respect and love his wife but suddenly just after 5 years of his marriage Manishat came back in his life. She informed that she left a message to a hotel staff which Prakash never got. They started to meet again candidly but after some times, Prakash informed her that he is married and had a daughter. Manisha attempted to commit suicide but saved. Both the girl friend and wife were introduced and they became friend. Prakash did not want to leave any of them but got saddened and upset with the order of the god. He had no solution
Seeing the condition of her husband Uma ,she also felt guilt of creating indirect pressure through Prakash's demised mother for marriage. She hold her responsible for sadness of her husband. Manisha , seeing no solution, wanted to go out of the life of couple. Prakash informed truth to his wife about her short affair with Manisha
There was nothing in the movie. But the end was very unique and surprising. It was Uma who was convincing Swaroop Sampat to share her husband with Swaroop Sampat and the movie finished.
In India, this was a peculiar end and does not appear. In Yash Chopra movie, the other woman has to compromise and upholding the marriage killing her own emotions. Unusually, the heart of Uma was shown very big and the girl friend is seen convincing with the offer of Uma.
The movie was very slow, lack of investment made movie very boring, songs were dull , poor direction. Vijyendra and Swaroop Sampath are good actors and worked as per their capacity but overall the movie could be a hit but director producer perhaps chose to make it like an art movie. There was not a single instance of comedy and cheerfulness. The mother of Vijyendra was selected as a died face and Priyadarshini was just ok. Perhaps lack of funding and poor direction made the movie a dull otherwise it could be a path breaking movie.
