'70s was known much for the two streams of movies, on one side we saw star studded blockbusters with not much of story and on the other stream we had story oriented parallel cinema starring the cast of "art house" cinema. Well, "Dooriyan," perhaps not much known film, inclines much into the second stream though not much of a potent "art house" category you can put into.
The film deals with a marital clash between upper middle class working couple, a film you can equate with movies like "Ghar" and "Gharounda" from the same era. Well, the film has a sprawling pace and few sequences and songs are felt unnecessary. However, in terms of theme, the film stands a commendable social drama which inspires the career oriented couple to leave their ego for their children and ends in a positive note. Besides, the film also offers fine acting from the revered performers, Uttam Kumar and Sharmila Tagore. Overall, do give a try for its nice story and brilliant performances.
Rating: 2 stars out of 4.
