I haven't watched it, but have thankfully seen the songs. Both leads look great, but Shammi still stands out. I daresay he's one of the few- if not the only - actor who could overshadow Nutan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-10637164413432439142010-12-09T07:50:55.399-08:002010-12-09T07:50:55.399-08:00@Sreenath: I know!!!

Wanted to see this film (and wasn't able to lay my hands on it) for years - and when I finally saw it, I was so disappointed! Ever since, I've thought of Basant as an 'eye candy film': very nice to look at, but otherwise so lacking in Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-83172913068019898532010-12-04T20:06:35.671-08:002010-12-04T20:06:35.671-08:00@Yves: Hey, Yves: reading your review I realised t...@Yves: Hey, Yves: reading your review I realised that seriously Nutan was one of the good parts of the film, apart from Shammi Kapoor. And don't feel ashamed. These blogs are here so that we can express our emotions regarding these old films. Let's rejoice over that :)Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-78548779618393073192010-12-04T09:05:33.185-08:002010-12-04T09:05:33.185-08:00Reading what you wrote, I realised how biased I ca...Reading what you wrote, I realised how biased I can sometimes be - mainly concerning Shammi Kapoor in fact. The influence of other movies was worth noticing, especially Chori chori. <br />I remember transforming my experience of Basant into a self-satisfied gallery of Nutan good looks! (Shame on you Yves).<br />thanks Sharmi!yveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975451635895715233noreply@blogger.com
