Doosra Aadmi

Doosra Aadmi (transl. The Other Man) is a 1977 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Ramesh Talwar and produced by Yash Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Raakhee, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, and Shashi Kapoor, and was released theatrically on 14 October 1977. The narrative centers on a reclusive advertising professional haunted by the memory of a deceased lover, who becomes emotionally entangled with a newly married couple, leading to a layered examination of grief, emotional vulnerability, and unspoken attraction.

The film marked the directorial debut of Talwar and was among the early romantic dramas produced by Yash Raj Films to address emotional trauma and psychological complexity. It is noted for Raakhee’s performance, its understated storytelling, and a soundtrack composed by Rajesh Roshan with lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Principal photography took place in Mumbai and Kashmir.

Doosra Aadmi received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Raakhee's performance was praised for its emotional range, and the film was recognized for its subdued tone and mature themes. Some reviewers, however, criticized the pacing and its departure from conventional romantic storytelling of the era. At the box office, the film earned an estimated ₹25 million and was declared an average performer by trade sources.

The film received four nominations at the 25th Filmfare Awards: Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress (both for Raakhee), Best Comedian (Deven Verma), and Best Story (Raju Saigal).
