Review of Saudagar (1991) by Adesh P — 24 Aug 2008
Vivek mushran is locked somewhere in a haveli and Dilip kumar comes to rescue him but the problem is how to find him in such a huge haveli? I'll tell you- Dilip kumar starts singing "ILU....ILU" - cut to: Amrish Puri, he asks Gulshan grover- "Yeh ILU ILU kya hai?".
Saudagar has plenty of such stupid moments, mostly in the last thirty minutes, yet it works big time. dilip kumar's performance, breath taking visuals(Ashok Mehta), typically larger than life laximant pyarelal songs and mostly engaging screenplay brings back the memories of certain films which were no matter how stupid, they had full conviction in what they showed- eventually making the whole film strangely very innocent, sweet and paisa vasool. I love Bollywood of this kind.
