Review of Shree 420 (1955) by Mike M — 04 Dec 2009
Remains an essentially innocent work - there are banana skin pratfalls, Kapoor douses both himself and his employees with a fire extinguisher at one point, and the lovers play out a marital ballet under an umbrella on a rainy Bombay night - but the finale is quite awesomely calculating: even Chaplin at his most plaintive and teary-eyed might have balked at turning his Tramp into a martyr to the follies of ruthless capitalism, as the star threatens to do here.
