But, trust me, you'll be awestruck by Dutt's subtly grey performance!! He is simply mindblowing!! It's a very celebral thriller with great performances by the lead (read Vinod Khanna, Dutt) and the supporting caste!!

But, yes, you are so right...The media just did not acknowledge his contribution in more serious films (and theatre) such as Agantuk, Shaque, Michael Madhusudan Dutt and so on. He was truely a genius and comedy was just one tiny part of his true repertoire!!

I haven't seen him a lot, but each time it's like a treat (those 3 adjectives of yours were a howler: "flummoxed, befuddled and flabbergasted"). Have you seen Agantuk? But I'll make a note a that one, that's for sure. AND it's Hrishikesh Mukherjee!<br />Thanks for that review.<br />yvesyveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975451635895715233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-86339372800021339952010-05-19T10:37:27.153-07:002010-05-19T10:37:27.153-07:00True...no matter what the genre was, Utpal Dutt ju...True...no matter what the genre was, Utpal Dutt just shone!!
