Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha – Sakhti

What a beautiful song! Although we heard it in childhood, yet we made the same mistake as everyone does.

I don't know why did we miss the point: 'Lifafe kay liye lekin patay ki bhi zaroorat hai!'

Brilliant movie! Very cool cast! Great music!
Everything about this movie is excellent. Even the villain had class. And of course the best thing about the movie is Dilip Kumar. Raakhee Gulzar looked very nice with him. They made a very cute couple. Even Amitabh & Smita Patel looked cool.

This was directed by Ramesh Sippy & it was released in 1982. It just did average at the box office but it has been regarded as one of the best works of Ramesh Sippy & to this day, the film is considered one of the greatest flicks in the history of film industry. Moreover, it's the only movie in which Amitabh & Dilip Kumar have worked together.

I loved the dialogue when Dilip Kumar says to his son: Mujhay yeh afsoos nahin hai kay tum nay meray saath badtameezi ki. Par yeh afsoos hai kay tumhari soch kitni ghatia aur ghalat hai.

His dialogue delivery is so that one gets mesmerized every time.

Amitabh is looking very beautiful in this song. And Lata has sung it beautifully.

What a pity people don't write letters anymore :P

Anyhow, I don't know if this is the height of stupidity, cause I've done it & others have done it too...
'Hum ne sanam ko khat likha
Khat mein likha E-dilruba, dil ki gali, shahr-e-wafa.'
And we believed in it so strongly. Naturally we went through the next inevitable step:

'Barson jawab-e-yaar ka, dekha kiye hum raasta
Eik din woh khat wapis mila
Aur dakiye nay yeh kaha
Is daakh khane mein nahin, saare zamane mein nahin
Koi sanam is naam ka, koi gali is naam ki,
Koi shaher is naam ka.'

At least the woman in this song knew one thing: 'Humain bas yeh pata hai woh bohat khoobsurat hai.' The rest of us were even purblind.

Jaane Kaise Kab Kahan - Shakti (1982)

Shakti is simply fantabulous in every way. This movie had a brilliant star cast, which included Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhee Gulzar, Smita Patel, Amrish Puri and Kulbushan. Every character was so perfectly   sketched and performed.

Undoubtedly, Dilip Kumar steals the show big time with his natural dialogue delivery while Amitabh's character was so filled with hatred and complexes since his childhood. I personally liked the father's role much more than the son's role. But besides these two everybody else has done absolute justice to their roles.

Jaane Kaise Kab Kahan is another one of the awesome songs from Shakti sung by Lata and Kishore Kumar. A very beautiful romantic song from the good old days.

Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha - Shakti (1982)

Shakti is one of the bestest films ever created by Hindi cinema. I didn't know it was released in the same year I was born in but that is not the reason why I really like it. Shakti had a very strong story line and the cast selection couldn't be more perfect than what the film makers chose back then.

This family drama included a star studded cast : Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhee Gulzar, Smita Patel, Amrish Puri and Kulbushan. The father-son duo played by Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan was simply amazing. The movie touched upon their relationship in a different light with complications created by bad timing and unusual circumstances throughout their life.

I always say that good villains are done with in India. They can't match people like Amrish Puri or Amjad Khan at all because those guys had a lot of class. Now, we have to see a bunch of losers mostly.

And moving on to this song...the lyrics and vocals are brilliants. The lyrics are simply intense and very interesting. The best part of the song is the address she mentions :P 

Hum Na Samjhe The - Gardish

Gardish is one movie that every serious cine lover should/must watch. With an awesome cast, which included actors like Jackie Sheroff, Amrish Puri and Dimple Kapadia in it - this movie really touches the heart and soul.

Showing the intensity of human bonds, family ties, aspirations and broken dreams led by uncalled for circumstances, Gardish has nothing wrong about it. You tend to ignore Jackie's old age as well because the over all movie is so true to life.

Hum Na Samjhe The, sung by Bala Subrahmanyam is the essence of this movie. Beautifully sung and has some extremely deep lyrics relating to life. 

Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta - Janbaaz (1986)

Last night I saw a bit of Jaanbaz (1986) for the zillionth time. Even today, at least I find the movie quite entertaining. It dealt with a serious issue of drugs/cocaine at a very early time and executed the idea in a more than perfect way. The depth and detailing of the characters was quite impressive and natural. I give full points to Feroz Khan for making a highly entertaining flick so long ago.

If somebody likes to review classics, one can't miss out on Jaanbaz, which has story, sex, songs and much more in the right quantity. The only thing that disturbs me are the changing hairstyles of Dimple Kapadia throughout the movie when she looked all good with the longer, natural hairstyle of hers. Secondly, she just looked far too experienced and slutty in comparison to Anil Kapoor (who was the notorious son of a rich man). I particularly enjoyed watching Amrish Puri in this movie. He and Anil Kapoor shared a very strong chemistry as father and son in Jaanbaz.

Anyway, enjoy this song, which is quite intense and beautiful. A lot of people who have not experienced true love or have been unlucky when it comes to romance might find the lyrics quite deep.
