For ages human has been trying to race against time but rate of success is always a question which is left unanswered. Most of us try to run ahead of time but the destiny has its own choices. Yash Chopra’s treatment of films has always been different and Waqt also carries the feel. Fantastic star cast, flashy cars and a class of acts with a perfectly crafted script
Lala Kedarnath had a successful time until an unprecedented event happens in his life which destroys the entire wealth and let her family get separated and he learns how powerful the weapons of time are, before this event Lala used to boast on what all he has gathered in life because he did it all on his and he deserved to boast. He had notion that he would craft his own destiny and to some extent he was successful also. But the time has its roles to play always.
The storm come up with disaster and let her three sons and wife forced to face ironies of life, the eldest one (Rajkumar) becomes a thief, the Middle one (Sunil Dutt) got adopted in a rich family and the Youngest (Shashi Kapoor) had to face vicissitudes of life with her mother and one day they meet each other with the blessings of time. Balraj Sahni played a small but powerful role his voice could speak the tone of a successful self made man which looks so real, Rajkumaar with his iconic acts looks classy and Shashi Kapoor with his innocent looks impresses. Chinoy Seth was one of the unforgettable names in India film industry which became a draconian symbol over the period of time.
Can’t say much about the music but “E meri Zohra Zabee” is a lifetime classic. Overall it was a good one to watch.
