Ghayal (1990)
Cast: Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Raj Babbar, Moushumi Chatterjee, Amrish Puri Director: Raj Kumar Santoshi Music: Bappi Lahiri Lyrics: Anjaan, lndivar Capsule Review: A revenge saga with a difference. Raj Kumar Santoshi’s blood- splattered debut showed him to be a craftsman of unforeseen devices. Though Ghayal is a routine revenge drama, the entire framing of ...
Hathyar (1989)
Cast: Dharmendra, Rishi Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Amrita Singh, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Asha Parekh, Sangeeta Bijalani, Paresh Rawal Director: J.P. Dutta Lyrics: Hassan Kamal Capsule Review: Hathyar did a remarkable job of portraying the end of innocence and the beginning of crime in the life of its protagonist Sanjay Dutt who moves to Mumbai with his innocentparents ...
Dacait (1987)
Cast: Raakhee, Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Paresh Rawal Director: Rahul Rawail Music: R.D. Burman Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Capsule Review: Dacait takes us into the ravines of Chambal Valley to show the class persecution of Deol’s character and his family to the extent that he becomes an outlaw. Rawail’s treatment of the dacoit drama is singularly ...
Darr (1993)
Cast: Sunny Deol, Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh Khan Director: Yash Chopra Music: Shiv, Hari Lyrics: Anand Bakshi Capsule Review: Making a departure from the ultra-romanticism of Daag, Kabhi Kabhie and Chandni, Yash Chopra swerved fluently into the sinister with this film. As the psychologically disturbed lover-boy who can’t take no for an answer from Juhi ...
Lekin (1991)
Cast: Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan Director: Gulzar Music: Hridayanath Mangeshkar Lyrics: Gulzar Capsule Review: Produced by ‘Asia’s Nightingale’ Lata Mangeshkar, Lekin is a ghost story with a difference. Lekin transports us into the twilight ‘now‑you-see-her-now-you-don’t’ zone. Frozen between two lives the female protagonist’s character is guided by the hero Vinod Khanna from one ...
Ittefaq (1969)
Cast: Nanda, Rajesh Khanna Director: Yash Chopra Music: (background score) Salil Chowdhury Capsule Review: The ever-experimental B.R.Chopra produced this songless thriller, his second film after the courtroom drama Kanoon. The raw and riveting Rajesh Khanna played a man accused of murdering his wife who takes asylum in a single woman’s (Nanda) home and finds himself ...
Jewel Thief (1967)
Cast: Ashok Kumar Dev Anand,Vyjanthimala,Tanuja Director: Vijay Anand Music: S.D. Burman Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shailendra Capsule Review: A film about mistaken identity starring the debonair Dev Anand cast as lookalikes. This clever suspense film with a surfeit of skilful narrative devices all climaxing in one of the most heart- stopping song-anddance sequences ever filmed (Hothon ...
Kohraa (1964)
Cast: Biswajeet,Waheeda Rehman, Lalita Pawar Director: Hiren Nag Music: Hemant Kumar Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Capsule Review: Kohraa featured the ethereal Waheeda Rehman as the mysterious rake Biswajeet’s second wife who’s haunted by his dead wife. The chilling ambience was sublimated by the producer Hemant Kumar’s vintage music. Songs like Lata Mangeshkar’s Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat ...
Do Aankhen Barah Haath (1957)
Cast: V Shantaram, Sandhya Director: V Shantaram Music: Vasant Desai Lyrics: Bharat Vyas Capsule Review: Like the prolific filmmaker’s other humane drama Dr Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani made 15 years earlier with Shantaram and his real-life wife Jayshree in the lead, Do Aankhen … is the quasi-biographical story of a jailor (Shantaram) and his efforts ...
Devdas (1956)
Cast: Dilip Kumar, Suchitra Sen,Vyjanthimala, Motilal Director: Bimal Roy Music: S.D. Burman Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Capsule Review: Bimal Roy’s faithful and fiercely intimate adaptation of Saratchandra Chatterjee’s classic tragedy about a self-absorbed hero who destroys his own happiness in pursuit of love, is leagues removed from P.C. Barua’s minimalist version in 1935 and Sanjay Leela ...
