That scene with the imagery of Mahatma Gandhi is also awesome.

Towards the end it gets so touching when she is finally accepted by everyone. Bimal Roy is a master of using lighting effects to get the right mood and you can see it a lot in this movie.Sreenathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689958060606254413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-14793494857581066472010-05-13T03:16:39.866-07:002010-05-13T03:16:39.866-07:00@Yves: In film magazines of course.

I have been looking for some more personal info about her, and have up with very little.<br />Thanks for letting me use your appreciations BTW. It'll soon be included in that post I was telling about.<br />yvesyveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975451635895715233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-40507337637589849062010-05-12T00:19:06.077-07:002010-05-12T00:19:06.077-07:00@Yves: You know I've often read that Nutan'...@Yves: You know I've often read that Nutan's personal life was not very happy...may be that's why she unleashed a kind of mellowness in her roles. Her eyes somehow always had that sad tinge. And her soft smile never looked put on...may be she was enjoying the laugh because of the want of it in her real life. She sought solace in celluloid!!<br />As per her roles, I guess directors Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-68784881181604203462010-05-11T04:17:15.251-07:002010-05-11T04:17:15.251-07:00Sharmi, you say that "Nutan's just inexpl...Sharmi, you say that "Nutan's just inexplicable!" For me, who share your mesmerised admiration for her, I think she's also a mystery, but which I've pondered about, and I do believe she's a case of purity on a mission of joy. <br />By this I mean she was lucky enough to arrive on the Bollywood stage when the excess of futility and materialism had not yet smothered yveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975451635895715233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-6647034926158228412010-04-01T06:51:39.890-07:002010-04-01T06:51:39.890-07:00Thank you for reading my entries so closely.

A music critic once said it's a perfect song because it fulfils almost all technical stuff that a song can have (pardon me, I am a layman). <br />Your description of Nutan stands out for its vividness.<br />Another delightful post<br />:)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283714661509407597noreply@blogger.com
