Julie is a romantic drama film directed by Late K. S. Sethumadhavan. The film stars Lakshmi, Vikram Makandar, Late Nadira, late Rita Bhaduri, Late Om Prakash, Late Sridevi and Late Utpal Dutt.
An Anglo Indian christian girl falls in love with a Hindu boy and she gets pregnant due to this, when the boy gets to know about this he decides to get married with her but the orthodox family of both boy and girl objects this union.
This film was considered a brave attempt at the time of it's release due to it's bold and strong content but the viewers accepted wholeheartedly and the film was a huge hit although there is no doubt that music also played a vital role in the success of this film.
The plot as mentioned is bold and the execution is good. The film not only focuses on premarital sex and pregnancy but also focuses on the orthodox nature of society that if the girl gets pregnant due to premarital sex the fault is always of girl. The film also focuses on regionalism as how staunch people can go for their religion that a grand mother is ready to leave the son of her daughter into a orphanage rather then getting married to a Hindu boy and how the mother of that Hindu boy is not ready to accept the girl and the child of his son as the girl is from christian community.
Acting in the film is good and some may say that this film belongs to Lakshmi but i would say that this film belongs to Nadira as you'll witness different shades of her acting with perfection. Vikram Makandar was average, Sridevi was too young but was decent, Om Prakash was also good and Utpal Dutt was superb. I must say that this film belongs to Nadira and Utpal Dutt.
Screenplay of the film is decent and music is superb and almost all the songs are melodious and Rajesh Roshan was highly impressive in his debut film as a musician. The climax of the film is predictable.
A good film on a very bold subject which could've been better, can be watched once.
