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 ...
Jagte Raho (1956)
Cast: Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Motilal Director: Sombhu Mitra/Amit Moitra Music: Salil Chowdhury Lyrics: Shailendra, Prem Dhawan Capsule Review: Moving away from the operatic opulence of his style Raj Kapoor hired two avant-garde Bengali filmmakers to direct a story about one thirsty man’s experiences in Kolkata during the course of one night. Jagte Raho is largely ...
Mujhe Jeene Do (1963)
Cast: Sunil Dutt, Waheeda Rehman Director: Moni Bhattacharya Music: Jaidev Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Capsule Review: Sunil Dutt produced and played the lead in this pioneering dacoitdrama. Like Nitin Bose’s Ganga Jumna and Raj Kapoor’s Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai—the two other famous dacoit dramas of the 1960s—Mujhe Jeene Do pitches its passionate plea at ...
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 ...
