Hum Dono (Rangeen) - Wogma Readers Reviews

Hum Dono (Rangeen)

wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list (?)
quick review: I thoroughly enjoyed this walk down memory lane, needless to say, mainly because of the poetry the film is. Both literally and figuratively. Of course, there are many-many elements in the film that would be completely unacceptable in our films today. But this one is for us to celebrate the man who will turn 88 this September 26th. And let's remind ourselves that he was just two short of 40 when Hum Dono released.

I'm not sure how much we'll enjoy the gold that old is, if we get too much of it, but for now, it's good to get a glimpse of the golden era the 60s was.

could-be-me:

Read every line of the review.
Could connect with it as well as you could.
Today's cinema is meritorious but it lacks innocence.
Glad that you mentioned the key lyrics for us along with the connotations.
5-on-5 to you too.
Cant agree with your last line anymore.

meetu:

@could-be-me :) shukriya, karam, meherbaani...
and yet there is so much more to talk about :')

Arvind Kulkarni:

Very unfair of you to give rating of 3 for leading actors. Show me an actor of today who could act that well if the movie was to be made once again.Despite limited technology, they could create great films in the fifties and sixties.
Sadly today's movies will neither be remembered nor watched by any sane person -fifty years down the line. Everything about today's films, except the technology, is disgustingly cheap (including actors and directors and producers)-not to talk of the music/songs.

meetu:

@Arvind well, I've never been a fan of melodrama and over the top acting. the film is good, and loved its simplicity.

But, today's movies aren't all bad. they might not have the same innocence, but the audience has changed also the medium of cinema has grown older, change is inevitable. given that, there is hope :)

LOLcoolj:

Who the f__k said Hum Dono had either of those?

Fk off, seriously.

manohar:

Great movie. Great performances and very refreshing- clean , neat and just different. - must a watch

John:

Well, I love old, classic movies, including Hindi. Hindi movies are a complete entertainment: longer running time (2-4 hours), song, dance, romance. Acting of each actor/actress is monotonous; each has its own style across their movies. Stories often not reasonable and the ending is predictable. The scenes often not realistic, e.g. there is only the protagonist and the antagonist in the highway, no other cars, motors during several minutes scenes. How come? The most famous actors of the old era is Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand and Sunil Dutt. The most famous actresses is Nutan and Nargis. Dev Anand has charisma and his special fanatic fans like Sakhrukh Khan nowadays. The songs in his most movies usually very melodious and beautiful. E.g., Taxi Driver and Tere Ghar Ke Samne. India has so many experts in I.T., but regret that the transfer of the old movies into DVD is not so good as the American movies. I hope that the distributors will do more seriously and better.

I'm not watch this movie yet. But someday I'll. I like Sadhana, too. Her acting is also good. Thanks for this review, baby.
