Raj Kapoor's Debut movie as an actor, director and producer. A very skinny kid starts a journey towards the "great show man".
Bimal Roy's haunting movie with Dilip Kumar's most celebrated acting in Sharat Babu's epic story of unrequited love, class struggle and despair. Dilip Kumar, Vyyajantimala, Suchitra Sen, Motilal, Pran, Nazir Hussain. A history unto itself as it plunged Dilp Kumar into real depression and was advised to act in light comedies after this movie. Also one of those few movies that youth of those days followed and coined a new term "Devdas" for the depressed lover.
The last film by Balraj Sahani. Great communal story in partition era of India. A muslim shoemaker's struggle in increasingly partisan climate.
Sunil Dutt's directorial venture with a difficult story and a magical land scape. A very very young Amitabh Bachhan in a pivotal role. Also stars a kiddy Sanjay Dutt. Sunil Dutt, Wahida Rehman, Rakhi, Vinod Khanna, Amrish Puri.
One of my favourite movies. Sunil Dutt, Vahida Rehman's love story with a few bullets flying here and there! Shot in a record short time, not only because it was Sunil Dutt's production, but also because in those days, CHAMBAL valley was full of real dacoits. Jaidev's melodious music with Sahir's haunting tunes.
Ashok Kumar, Pradeep Kumar and Asha Parekh in this musical social drama. The futility of beauty and external appearance.
Shamsher Raj Kapoor's Debut Movie as Shammi Kapoor.
Raj Kapoor's famous movie. Pran in his first character appearance with Nargis. Even Mukesh sings and acts in the final song as the Cart Man.
Released in 1984, it is still a classic as the script was written 2200 years ago by Mahakavi Shudrak - Mrichha Katikam - The Clay Chariot. Directed by Girish Karnad starring Shashi Kapoor, Rekha, Shekhar Suman, Anuradha Patel, Anu Kapoor and many other great actors. Great cinematography and music weaves this tale of romance, lust, politics and humour - Charu Dutt and Vasantsena.
This one is special. This one is close to heart. Young Shammi Kapoor and beautyful Saira Banu. Golden couple, melodious songs and eastman color. Ah Heavens!
