Though I do think he is one of the best film makers we have had. I re-watched aajao tadapte hain armaan from Awara today. The way the grandeur of the music, the settings, the framing and Nargis's movements meld is simply amazing... mind-blowing! One needs to be a genius to create such a scene.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807855053719681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-71874272448683912122010-11-08T10:37:24.356-08:002010-11-08T10:37:24.356-08:00@Himmat: Hmmm point taken.

In fact, his appearance and demeanour lend just the right kind of depth and contrast to Sadhana's lost-girl innocence in the first half. A prettier leading man (like Dev Anand) wouldn't have had the same impact.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807855053719681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-27572198274134860472010-11-06T23:10:42.028-07:002010-11-06T23:10:42.028-07:00@Himmat: Hello and welcome.

She is delightful in all the roles she has played. A very convincing actress. This film is engaging because of her mysterious air. And she makes up for Raj Kapoor's goofiness :)Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-80165385218299234582010-11-06T12:47:43.531-07:002010-11-06T12:47:43.531-07:00This is what I would call a cute romance with a li...This is what I would call a cute romance with a little suspense thrown in. Very enjoyable, mainly because of Sadhana and Agha though. Sadhana looks sooo lovely with her forehead showing and without those 'hair raising' hairdos. She was truly a great and versatile actress. That fabulous figure and that 'naazuk' voice of hers were big added charms. What a delightful package she was!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807855053719681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-69694481918169631462010-08-26T03:46:46.735-07:002010-08-26T03:46:46.735-07:00@Sunheriyaadein: She got lost in all the confusion...@Sunheriyaadein: She got lost in all the confusion, hahaha.

Yes, Kapoor's Chaplinesque gait was back and that irked me. Agha was funny. And Kapoor looked way older than Sadhana. She was the only one who was really pretty and good.
