This is one o...hey hi! great write up as always. :)<br />This is one of those handful of sincere movies, IMHO, rolled out in the 70s, amidst a sea of potboilers. Love each and every song of the movie. its music sounds so Papa Burman,with due rgds to RDB, esp. "Phir wohi raat hai...". one of the best RD albums.<br />About the movie - haven't seen yet. goes to the must-watch list.

Another true depiction is in Dahaan (though it was close to assault). <br />Isn't it amazing how the dark gloomy ambience is juxtaposed with the fabulous songs!!!Sharmi Adhikaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083912570793692960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-52626965636553127602010-07-26T23:18:15.689-07:002010-07-26T23:18:15.689-07:00Another film I've heard a lot of good things a...Another film I've heard a lot of good things about, but haven't yet got around to watching.

But when I eventually saw the movie, I somehow didn't like it much. Rekha has done the role of a rape victim very well and Vinod Mehra is great as Vikas. It's the first half I didn't like much - I found Rekha very kiddish and quite irritating at times.
