There was no sack race, haha. It was a race between a lorry bus and a tonga!?!?! Yes, old black and white classics should not be touched. The old avatar is so much better. Do watch it again. t is worth so many views. And, I'm sure Ashutosh Gowarikar got inspired from this film before he made Lagaan. But I like this so much more :)Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-26783311918851659122010-11-15T10:57:17.227-08:002010-11-15T10:57:17.227-08:00i saw this film a long, long time back - a channel...i saw this film a long, long time back - a channel that screened only the oldies - but unfortunately it didn't last :-(.<br />just vaguely remember the themes - it was a social statement also of sorts, and blended the themes and romance exceedingly well - a lagaan-ish euphoria and spiritedness about it. and i think there was something to do with a sack race also in the movie, right?i saw it ek-aanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435080998112409443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-87084414042121797452010-11-15T01:00:56.996-08:002010-11-15T01:00:56.996-08:00@Shilpi: Yes, I thought Daisy was delightful.@Shilpi: Yes, I thought Daisy was delightful.Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-47568332678068765732010-11-15T01:00:30.912-08:002010-11-15T01:00:30.912-08:00@Sreenath: Maybe in today's world this film do...@Sreenath: Maybe in today's world this film doesn't work.

The race between cart and motor and the premise of resisting the inevitable industrialization seem implausible in today's world but Naya Daur is a great movie no doubt. I saw it many times in B&W but don't mind watching it in colour again.Sreenathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689958060606254413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-74310195483105110562010-11-14T22:25:13.266-08:002010-11-14T22:25:13.266-08:00I wish they hadn't coloured Naya Daur.

(Frankly, I feel that about most B/W films that have been coloured: there's an artificiality about the colourisation that makes the film look too garish and not quite real).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
