Dosti (1964)
Cast: Sushil Kumar, Sudhir Kumar Director: Satyen Bose Music: Laxmikant, Pyarelal Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri Capsule Review: This mega money-spinner for the Rajshri banner featured completely untried faces, not just in the lead but also at the periphery where Sanjay Khan appeared in a romantic sub-plot. But the main plot featured two unknown actors Sushil Kumar ...
Aakhri Khat (1966)
Cast: Master Bunty, Rajesh Khanna, Indrani Mukherjee Director: Chetan Anand Music: Khayyam Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Capsule Review: A minor masterpiece from Rajesh Khanna’s pre-superstardom phase, Aakhri Khat stars an infant Master Bunty who is left on the streets to fend for himself after his mother (Indrani Mukherjee) dies, leaving the little boy to his own ...
Anupama (1966)
Cast: Dharmendra, Sharmila Tagore,Tarun Bose, Shashikala, Deven Varma Director: Hrishikesh Mukherjee Music: Hemant Kumar Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Capsule Review: A mute and minimalist drama far ahead of its times, Anupama tells the story of Uma (Sharmila Tagore) whose father (played with brilliant authority by Tarun Bose) detests his daughter ever since his beloved wife died ...
Devar (1966)
Cast: Dharmendra, Sharmila Tagore, Deven Varma, Shashikala Director: Mohan Segal Music: Roshan Lyrics: Anand Bakshi Capsule Review: The compelling quadrangular melodrama about a mismatched couple contained deep elements of Bengali literature. Stress within the domestic ambience was created when the noble Dharmendra ends up marrying the shrewish Shashikala while his brother contrives to marry the ...
Guide (1966)
Cast: Dev Anand, Waheeda Rehman, Leela Chitnis, Anwar Husain, Kishore Sahu Director: Vijay Anand Music: S.D. Burman Lyrics: Shailendra Capsule Review: Vijay Anand smoothly recreates R.K. Narayan’s complex and layered novel, and mixes existentialism with the song-and-dance formula. Waheeda Rehman comes to life as the capricious, defiant and enchanting Rosy, and Dev Anand is every ...
Mamta (1966)
Cast: Ashok Kumar, Suchitra Sen, Dharmendra Director: Asit Sen Music: Roshan Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri Capsule Review: Remaking his own 1963 Bengali hit Uttar Phalguni, Asit Sen does a searing sentimental pilgrimage into the anatomy of motherhood with the mythic Suchitra Sen cast as both mother and daughter. In true Mother India tradition, the mother sacrifices ...
Phool Aur Patthar (1966)
Cast: Meena Kumari, Dharmendra, Shashikala, O.P. Ralhan Director: O.P. Ralhan Music: Ravi Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni Capsule Review: A noteworthy potboiler depicting a forbidden liaison between a widow (Meena Kumari) and a petty criminal (Dharmendra). The sequence in which Dharmendra crept up to the supine heroine in a shirtless, drunken stupor had audiences whistling in delight. ...
Paa (2009)
A film where Vidya Balan looks good and Amitabh is not ‘Amitabh’ sounds almost too good to be true, but such a film has finally been made. Any character Amitabh has played in over three decades has veered on a spectrum between Anthony and Narayan Shankar (Mohabbatein). His character always ends up being ‘Amitabh playing ...
Jail (2009)
“As expected, Jail is a dark, brooding and morose film on the injustices of life and how human dignity can prevail despite bleak circumstances through resilience, perseverance and hope. Like all Bhandarkar films, Jail too is a social commentary akin to a documentary on the deplorable conditions within jails and most importantly the injustices endemic ...
Love Aaj Kal (2009)
Take any romantic role Saif Ali Khan has recently stepped into (barring the brilliant Parineeta), shake it up with the turban clad, dholak baja-ing, bhangra pa-ing Punjab that Bollywood loves to stereotype and you have this movie that prances between the love stories of today and yesterday (aaj and kal, get it?). Director Imtiaz Ali ...
