Ijaazat

One of the most touching love stories which leaves the heart yearning for more to see the love tangle....with an ultimate solution!The song MERA KUCHH SAMAAN PADA HAI reveals the cravings of a young heart.Definitely a must see movie.Nassiruddin shah has been to the very peak of a hidden but sincere relationship.His self control is witness to his character and this bears testimony of an undaunted personality.It is a rare love storey in itself.I wonder if I can venture to establish a parallel with the movie MASOOM where again NASSIRUDDIN SHAH succeeds in revealing an outstanding personality of his own as a lover and then as that of a caring husband.Rekha is as usual the very epitome of a devoted wife but careful!no bargain no sharing can be allowed or tolerated if this may someday endanger the very conjugal happiness.Both REKHA and Nassirudin Shah have had the execellence of expression through their performance.Coming out of the theatre the spectators must have definitely felt the lump in their throat.

ijaazat is gulzar at its best. the film takes off from the moist surreal world of dripping branches with panchamda's out of this world music right into the heart of the characters. this kind of love we have left behind in the last century, when the world was slower, the skies more blue and there was still some magic left in the affairs of the heart. thoroughly enjoyble, be prepared to give in to feelings you never knew to exist within you. nasiruddin, rekha are in the performances of their lives and anuradha, you can't help falling in love with her. the music deserves special mention, panchamda finally created something to allow aashaji to come out of the legendary shadows of her sister.

Great plot. Great acting. Lots of symbolism. Really well filmed for its time. Some of my favorite songs. This isn't your usual Hindi movie. It doesn't have an elaborate set. No dance scenes, much less elaborate ones. It doesn't have a huge cast. If you like this try the others by this director.

Gulzar's Ijaazat is easily the benchmark for Indian movies. The story, script and the surprise element in the movie is beyond comparison. The direction is superb with the added magic of mind blowing songs--music and lyrics. What I liked best about the movie is the passion displayed in the sophisticated style of Gulzar. The passion between Rekha and Naseerudin Shah and between Naseeruddin and Anuradha has been dealt with amazing finesse and sophistication. The song " Mera Kuch Saaman" is amazing in its rendition and also the perfect description of the situation between the protagonists.

The humor displayed by Naseeruddin in the scene when the couple are back from their honeymoon, on the flight when Rekha is a little upset with him and he says "Don't get off half way" says everything about Gulzar's immense talent to use subtle humor in every situation

I suggest this movie for all those people who are or were in love at some point in time in their lives.

This is Gulzar at his best.

Naseeruddin, Rekha and Anuradha Patel have done a splendid job with Panchamda's music providing the icing on the cake.
