When Raju chooses his lifelong friends over wife and son, Ramu decides to bring the estranged couple together, but thanks to the villainous Sarwan Kumar (K.N.Singh), he has to sacrifice his life. Things worsen when their child is born, and Tanu, fearing physical harm to her child from the elephants, tells Raju to choose between the pachyderms and his family. However trouble looms soon after as Tanu feels neglected. He falls in love with Tanu (Tanuja), but her rich dad (Madan Puri) agrees to their marriage only after some persuasion. In time, he makes it big, and starts his own Pyar Ki Duniya (The World Of Love), a zoo in which various wild animals reside along with his elephants, among whom Ramu is closest to him. The back-story is that as an orphan, they have saved his life from a leopard. Raju (Rajesh Khanna) performs with four elephants on the streets for a living.

And in the end, when he was shot dead by the villain (who aimed at the hero but Ramu took the bullet), not only did children shed a tear but many a parent too. Ramu, the elephant, went that one step ahead of his performing circus counterpart by also weeping, smiling and becoming almost human in intelligence – he was no mere trained entertainer— he was family. Haathi Mere Saathi combined the magic of the marquee with the charisma of a circus. 40 years after its May 1971 release, Screen revisits the magical world of Haathi Mere Saathi. A true children's movie, it is a cinematic milestone in many other ways as well. It is still the closest Hindi film to Disney.
