The Worst Film Ever
Absolutely the worst movie.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Yesterday I get to see this Gurudutt movie. After watching it only one name was lingering onto my mind and that was Maria. Wow what a performance by Geeta Bali. I always liked her but now I love her. She is gem in this movie. If there is anything worth watching in this out of date Moving picture it is her beauty and talent. She is god gracious beautiful. Her innocence permeates through heart.. I bought it for Dev Anand but even he looks a bore before Geeta Bali.Love you Geeta Bali love you.I am looking forward to watch her again in movies like Pocketmar, Albela, a movie with Raj Kapoor I forgot its name nevertheless I would find it on internetShe was such a divine talent that now she is on top of the list of my favorites Again lots of love to you Geetayours truly
This was Guru Dutt's second movie, after Dev Anand's production "Baazi". Guru Dutt was sort of finding his bearings through commercially successful movies. And after "Baazi", this was the second film in which Dev Anand also came through as a confident star/actor, with a style uniquely his own. Geeta Bali, the most gifted actress of the Indian screen ever, gave a scintillating performance. But what stood out most was the musical score of the film. Till date, the sweetness of the melodious "Yeh raat yeh chandni phir kahan, sun ja dil ki dastaan", sung by the heavenly voices Hemant Kumar has not been equalled by any song of this type, composed by any music composure. Most other songs were based on the Goan folk music, probably first time used by a music director.
