Saheb Bibi Golam - Hindi Movie Review

Saheb Bibi Golam - Hindi Movie Review  In order to adapt Bimal Mitra's acclaimed Bangla novel Saheb Bibi Golam onto the big screen, Guru Dutt made some important adjustments to the tale. In order to attempt and place both in their proper context and to praise their exquisite beauty and amazing characters, Vijay Kumar takes a 360-degree view of both the literary work and the cinematic masterpiece.  Following his discovery of Chhoti Bahu's mortal remains in the ruins of the Bada Mahal, Bhoot Nath emerges from the 1962 release of Guru Dutt's film adaptation of Saheb Bibi Golam to reunite with his waiting bride Jaba. This scenario is unexpected because it completely contradicts Bimal Mitra's idea on the subject. Even though Bhoot Nath is well aware that Jaba and him were married when she was only two months old and he was four, the story reveals that he continues to use the excuse that Atulya Chakraborty, who was his birth name, died a long time ago. Saheb Bibi Go...

Aligarh Hindi Movie Review

Aligarh Hindi Movie Review Actors in lead role : Manoj Bajpayee, Rajkummar Rao, Ashish Vidyarthi. Director: Hansal Mehta The appeal of Aligarh movie's lies in the fact that it accomplishes by painting a deeply affecting portrayal of love and loneliness. Hard-hitting film Aligarh openly advocates gay rights.  The world of Siras is open for exploration throughout the film. It makes it possible for you to fully understand his depression. It also makes a horrifying accusation that you are to blame for his precarious circumstances.  Siras dies on his own, under mysterious circumstances. We acknowledge that, in some little way, we are all accountable for the emergence of a culture that kills a kind, content guy simply because of his sexual choices. Hansal and author Apurva Asrani have dramatised the tragedy of Siras without using strident or belligerent language. And director Hansal Mehta approaches the subject matter in a wonderful way. It was an early morning in Aligarh,...

Bollywood Hindi Movie Review Dr. Vidya (1962 )

Image
Bollywood Hindi Movie Review "Dr. Vidya (1962 )" A great Hindi Bollywood movie called Dr. Vidya was launched in 1962. This family drama and social picture, which was directed by Rajendra Bhatia and produced by Mohan Seghal under the Deluxe Films banner, had a significant influence on Indian cinema. The story centres on Dr. Vidya (Vyjayanthimala), a committed and sympathetic medical professional who dedicates her life to helping the underprivileged and the destitute. The portrayal of Dr. Vidya's character is excellent, highlighting her sacrifices, efforts, and difficulties in a world marred by inequity and poverty. The film was made during a time when educated urbanites were becoming more impacted by western culture, therefore those from rural areas who placed a high value on values and culture vehemently refrained from getting married into urban families.  Geeta is a girl from a wealthy family who has received a good education. Her parents instilled in her traditi...

Image
Review of  Satyajit Ray's  movie "Shatranj Ke Khiladi", year 1977 "Shatranj Ke Khiladi" is a cinematic masterpiece directed by the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray. Released in 1977, the film is based on a short story by Munshi Premchand and offers a captivating portrayal of the decadence and obliviousness of the Indian aristocracy during the reign of the British East India Company. Set in the backdrop of 1856, just before the annexation of the Kingdom of Awadh by the British, the movie explores the lives of two noblemen, Mirza Sajjad Ali (played by Sanjeev Kumar) and Mir Roshan Ali (played by Saeed Jaffrey). Obsessed with their passion for the game of chess, they remain oblivious to the brewing political storm around them. The film's strength lies in its brilliant storytelling and Ray's exceptional direction. He skillfully weaves together multiple storylines, capturing the contrast between the extravagant lifestyles of the noblemen and the polit...

Review of old Indian Hindi movie Musafir(1957)

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 wa...

This film, which was skillfully directed, strikes a mix between entertaining and thought-provoking storytelling. The life of Dr. Gyan Prakash Tripathi, who is portrayed by a superb lead actor, is the subject of the movie.
