Review of Andaz (1971) by Sandeep S — 24 Apr 2008

Though full of some unnecessary situations, turns, twists, and accusations, rapes, deaths and what not stuffed in by the script writers to add some spicy tales to the main plot line, I still rate this movie 4 stars out of 5.

Ask me why and I would tell you to enjoy this movie for it's vibrant music, great peformances (particulary from Shammi Kapoor...this is the first decent film I have seen of his where did show his more mature nature towards being an actor.

) and a cute looking newbie of the time of this film, Hema Malini. The most ironic thing I heard about this film from my grandmother was that despite Rajesh Khanna's short role in the film, it was Rajesh Khanna who people walked away remembering for ages after and NOT Shammi.

..the song with Khanna and Malini "Zindagi Ek Safar hai Suhana" is one of the most memorable songs from Hindi film history and both look awesome in the picturization of the song...overall, a very good film, worth watching over and over again.
