Guys I saw this movie few days back on cable….it released
around 1978 or 1979 I remember coz we had jus shifted to Mumbai and we used to
see its film songs on chayageet……which I will mention in the music section….
It was really interesting to read the directors name and it
was TINNU ANAND….man this guy has been making movies for ages now na….anyways
the movie brought back some nostalgic memories to my mind….i was glued to the
tv set right from the beginning titles till the most common slate of the days
gone by “THE END” really….
The movie considering the style and the pattern of movies
which were made then in the late 70’s and early 80’s was a good one but I don’t
think that these subjects have any scope in today’s times of reality cinema and
modern takings….
It’s a story about Karan(Shashi Kapoor) who is a truthful
and principled man working in a circus as a trapeze artiste with his partner
Rawat(Ranjeet) and Karan is supporting his brother Vishal(Rishi Kapoor) by
financing him for his studies but has hidden the fact that he is a trapeze
artiste but instead created a rosy picture of his brother being a big
businessman….Vishal falls in love with Neeta(Neetu Singh)….things take a turn
when Vishal decides to go to U.S.A for further studies and Karan wants to
fulfill his wish but does not have enough money….thats the time when he takes
up a daredevil stunt job at the circus along with his partner Rawat….at the end
of the show he is paid only Rs500 which he finds very discouraging….our very
own Villain of older days Mr.Pinchoo Kapoor is sitting and enjoying the show
and he contacts Rawat and hires him for a robbery at Gulabchands(Neetu Singh’s
Father) place but Rawat suggests that he needs another man to help him and
knowing Karans nature they both play a trick and convince Karan to help
them….when Karan knows of the robbery he protests but Rawat is adamant and
just then gulabchand enters and Rawat kills him….and absconds from there
leaving Karan in a lurch….Karan tries to stop Rawat but in vain….in this
huffle scuffle Karan meets with an accident and loses both his legs….Our very
own interesting character of yesteryears Sudhir enters the scene who is the
investigating inspector and trying to gather the strings to the murder and the
robbery….and then when Vishal comes to know the truth about his brother being
a trapeze artiste and what sacrifices he has done to make Vishal study….Vishal
pledges that he will take Karans revenge with Rawat and this forms the climax
of the story.
Film does not have much in it but if you want to enjoy a
70-80’s flick then this might be the one….nice comedy punches at places which
look very repeated today but considering the time the film was released must
have been new ones….youthful romance of Vishal and Neeta….good music….some
emotional scenes…some good action scenes….hero jumping from the ground to the 3rd
floor…the sound of fights(Bikhoom Bikhoom) some car chases….some scenes where
looks that the actors are hamming…but its all ok….if you have always loved
Hindi masala movies you will like this one too….
Performance wise everyone is good….specially Shashi
Kapoor….Rishi is at his romantic best along with Neetu Singh…Ranjeet is also
good and the best part is that his character slowly takes a shape of a villain
which looks good in the film….
The music is the highlight of the film….its from one of my
all time favs Rajesh Roshan….boss I have downloaded the video songs of the
film from youtube for you guys to listen and enjoy the maestro’s
creation….its on my orkut account.when the songs used to feature on our very own CHAAYAGEET on
Thursdays at 8pm my fav from DMJM were ”thokar pe hai sara zamana jo ban jaye
mera nishana mushkil hai uska bach paana….kyunki sari ki saari ye duniya meri
jeb mein” And then it was “Maine toh maangi hai bas yeh dua….tere jaisa bhai
sab ko mile”….there is another song which when I heard yesterday I recollected
it “Dekh Mausam Keh Raha hai….” Guys hear these songs once and you will know
what I am trying to say about RR he is so much next to Pancham Da but still
has his own style of music….the music arrangement the use of instruments and
the way he used to make his singers sing the song….gr8 simply gr8….
If u get a chance to have a look at this film pls do it for
the sake of 70’s and 80’s….
Not woth buying a DVD of but u may catch it on one of the
channels anytime….till then enjoy the songs which are evergreen….
