Sridevi: 60th Birthday Celebration
Review of old Indian Hindi movie Hrishikesh Mukerjhee's brilliant debut film Musafir(1957)
The end of an era has come with the departure of seasoned Editor and Director Hrishikesh Mukerjhee. Members of any generation would find it challenging to miss his flicks.
Through his brilliant films, he was a superb storyteller who moved the audience to tears.
Films by Hrishikesh Mukherjee have consistently focused on the middle class. Numerous pages ki have been published about his well-known works, but I decided to focus this assessment on Musafir, his critically lauded but financially unsuccessful and practically forgotten first picture.
The three most significant life events are often seen as being birth, marriage, and death. Hrishikesh Mukherjee took this idea a step farther and turned it into a movie.
By producing it as a three-episode series, Hrishikesh Mukherjee made the movie exceedingly experimental.
I feel very lucky because, recently I got a chance to watch this movie on YouTube by coincidence and good fortune finding the link to it on YouTube, the film that Hrishikesh Mukherjee used to launch his illustrious career as a director.
