Kabhi Kabhie

Description

Review Yash Chopra made Kabhie Kabhie with a theme that he is good at i.e. Love. The movie starts with the song Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar Hoon and, ends with the song Main Har Ek Pal Ka Shaayar Hoon. What lies between the two songs of the poet is a well told love story spanning two generations that shows the transformation of the poet from Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar to Har Ek Pal Ka Shaayar. There are seven main characters and, all of these characters are natural and realistic that audience can feel each of the characters emotion and associate to them. Amitabh, Rakhee, Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Naseem, all of them have acted very well; but it is Amitabh who steals the show. Parikshit Sahni and Simi Grewal have supported well as the foster parents of Neetu Singh and, Deven Verma provides the comical relief (given a few scenes he leaves a good impression). Yash Chopra has handled the theme of the movie very well and, has directed superbly. He keeps the story telling simple and linear, develops each character very well, and never goes far from the crux of the story even when touching issues like premarital relationship. Though brief, he also captures the capital Delhi nicely. Kabhie Kabhie as Yash Chopra's best movie until now. He did break the grounds with Lamhe in terms of story but he is yet to surpass Kabhie Kabhie as director. Music and songs have always been the strong point of Yash Chopra's movie. Kabhie Kabhie is among the top ones in that list. The credit goes to both Khayyam and Sahir. The songs melodiously rendered by Mukesh, Lata, Kishore and Pamela to date are chart busters. At the time when Kishore's voice was getting associated with Amitabh, Khayyam broke the trend by using Mukesh's voice to capture the soul and the depth in the poet's (or Sahir's) lyrics. As a whole Kabhie Kabhie is one of the best movie that has graced the screens of Hindi cinema." --imdb.comYash Chopra made Kabhie Kabhie with a theme that he is good at i.e. Love.

Good buy for those who love a good love story Review: Great Few minuites - I bought the movie because of the nature's scenes, Amitabh's dialog, poetry delivery, and the song (kabhi kabhie). It was well worth it. I didn't like the rest of the movie except kabhi kabhie dialog in an interview, and Amitabh's dialog to Shashi Kapoor about badi himmat chahiye ... The blu-ray also made lot of songs very scenic. I moved to US in the 80s when everything was on VHS and copied by the store owners many times. By the time we got the rented tape and watched it, it was hard to make out any faces. I stopped watching many movies until the mid 90s when DVDs came out. Everyone in college were fond of Kabhi Kabhie because of the songs. It was fun watching it again.
