Review of Pyaasa (1957) by Eric H — 28 Jan 2016
This one is listed on Time's 25 top movies from around the globe . Everything in this movie is A grade starting from direction , acting , music , theme , story. But the thing that stands out unique and best is the amount of intensity and its ability to make audience feel that intensity .
The whole movie goes on telling you a story about struggling poet. You are watching the movie and have an idea how it may end but only for last twenty minutes of movie. The last twenty minutes of movie are the strength of this classic flick.
You may not be remembering the story when you get out but you will be feeling the thoughts emerging and revolving around the drama of last 20 minutes. And thats where the movie succeeds brilliantly. That much amount of theme with excellent dialogs and turnarounds, no one else has ever put in just twenty minutes of cinema.
Definitely this is the best movie ever made in Indian cinema history and do not have any reasons with current bollywood trends , to believe that it won't remain best forever.
