Family Movie

Review By Kamal K

It's a top class family and Society Movie depicting the true love and care/affection which can create wonders. Madanpuri, Rameshwari Iftekhar and All others too have done Excellent job. Nice concept and great music especially an evergreen song " Le to aaye ho Hume, sappho ke gaon mein" is mesmerising. The stand-out performance, supported by the script, comes from Shashikala. Her dialogue-delivery in scenes with Iftikhar are one of the highlights of the film. In fact, the movie won Filmfare's Best Screenplay award. It's a must watch.

Excellent family story - Rameshwari' debut

This is a Hindi language film by Rajashri Productions and which was the Hindi film debut of veteran actress Rameshwari.

Rajashri Productions have been reputed for creating one after the other, back-to-back classics among family stories in the 70s, and this film is one such. Any film lover can pick up any one those and enjoy them with the whole family. Many of them will make your eyes well up at some point in the film and so does this film. Films play an important role in moulding society and truly Rajashri films knew that. The way their films passed a message while keeping you entertained was uncanny. Note that their films from that era weren't multi starrers, the hero was the story of the film as is true with this one too.

Indeed, the hero is the most disappointing aspect of this film. He didn't know to act or perform and thankfully he went into Production in later years. The film is carried by the support cast including veterans Iftikar and Madan Puri as the wealthy businessman trying to get his grandson on the right path and get him married to a woman who can do that. Rameshwari gets a good role and is the centre of the film and does a great job for a debut performance. Her simple beauty was apt for the role - great job by the casting director. Shyamali as the supporting actress also does well and is actually the most beautiful woman in the film and it's sad that she wasn't seen in films later. Shashikala's role is wasted.

Ravindra Jain's music is a standout. His debut in singing with this film introduces us to his voice later immortalised by the tele serial Ramayana.

As with any other Rajashri film, hang in there for the first half hour. They don't do a great job with the context setting in any of their films. The rest of the movie will keep you glued. Enjoy it with family!

A simple nice movie that you can/should watch with your family.

I watched this movie in May 1979 when it was still in theaters. Since then I have watched it on VHS and recently on DVD. I loved the movie then and still love it. Story: Unlike movies of that era, this movie was well focused on the main theme. I liked the fact that the movie did not indulge into extreme emotional drama, didn't have characters shouting, crying. There were no goondas or fight scenes as they would have been totally inappropriate for this movie. The storyline was simple, clean, and well strung story, which made this into a very likable and enjoyable film. This was not a surprise as it was a Rajashri production that has given some really nice and memorable movies. Songs: Ravindra Jain's music excels with the most memorable song 'Lekar aye ho hume'. Acting: Rameshwari did fabulous acting. Prem Kishan was not bad, but did not succeed after this movie. Madan Puri was in a different role; not as a villain but likable grandpa. I like the movies categorized as dram that leave you in a happy mood at the end. I wish they made more of these type of movies.
