Solva Saawan is a 1979[1] Hindi-language film, directed by Bharathi Rajaa, Cinemotography by P.S.Nivas, starring Sridevi and Amol Palekar. Madhukar and Dina Pathak also star. The film score was composed by Jai Dev.
In her debut role as a heroine, Sridevi (herself 16 when the film was shot) plays the 16-year-old Mehna, who refuses the advances of a mentally challenged character played be Amol Palekar. Mehna falls in love with a city vet but refuses to commit to him, and finds herself being rejected in turn.
With this new perspective, Mehna begins to accept Amol Palekar's character and encourages him to defend himself against those who constantly mock him. But when an evil villager, played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda, attempts to rape Mehna, Palekar's character kills him by throwing a brick at his head. Palekar's character is arrested for murder, and the film concludes with Sridevi waiting in vain at a train station for his return.
The film, a remake of the South Indian hit Pathinaru Vayathinile filmed two years earlier with Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth, did not perform very well at the box office.[2]
