sujata

watched that magnificient bimal roy classic "sujata" starring nutan and sunil dutt. the slow realisation of sujata that she belongs to another world of humans is deadening, with a magnificient performance by nutan. this must rank as one of the all time greats in indian cinema.

chaudhvi ka chand

revisited an old classic "chaudhvi ka chand" starring guru dutt, waheeda rehman, rehman and johny walker. the film moves beautifully from mad comedy in the beginning to serious drama effortlessly. songs are part of the film, acting of everybody is perfect, waheeda looks beautiful, dialogues are chaste urdu and meaningful. a great movie to watch any time. loss of a great movie maker, on par nay better than raj kapoor.

posiedon

saw posiedon part ii, which is an adventure on a ship. great movie though posiedon part i of the skyscraper fire beats it hands down. that movie had a great drama and adventure, which was missing here. still part ii is worth a visit. richard dreyfuss plays a minor part which is a big let down really because he is a great star.

madhumati

saw an old bimal roy classic madhumati starring dilip and vyjyanti. it is a ghost story but the way in which bimal roy has woven the ghosts into the story is exceptional. the narrative is fluid, songs great and watching dilip act with utmost finesse is an experience in itself. overall
