Dosti

I first watched this movie when I was a teenager, and I have never forgotten the intense emotions that I felt. Dosti is my all-time favourite film; I have not seen another that has left me with a deeper impression. The story-line, at times, was quite unbelievable, but then this was Indian film-making. What is best about Dosti is the music --- just mesmerizing --- thirty years after I first heard it, it still resound in my ears, even though I have not heard it again till recently. And after years of searching, I finally managed to purchase a DVD of the film; unfortunately the quality isn't very good, and a great part of the English subtitles (I don't understand Hindhi) was missing. If anyone out there knows of where I can get a good quality DVD of the film with English subtitles, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Great acting , Great songs , Perfect direction ..A master class of old Indian Cinema The two actors Sudhir Kumar and Shushil Kumar have performed as if they were born to play the role mind blowing music that brought out quite possibly Mohd. Rafi sa'ab's memorable classics like - "Chahoonga Mein Tujhe..." , "Jaane Waalon Zara..." etc Its a shame these 2 talents did not go beyond this mega block buster movie.

I watched this film a few weeks ago and really the first thought that crossed my mind was concerning the levels to which Indian cinema has come down in today's scenario. We can keep boasting about the strides that Bollywood has made in terms of professionalism and technology but where are films like Dosti and others gone? I guess it's all lost in the frenzy of commercialization and marketing.

Well, maybe I should not dwell too much on Bollywood's present state but say something about the golden era that is lost and that had films like Dosti, Guide, Tere Ghar Ke Samne and others. So, What a brilliant film this is - the emotions that it portrays and the feeling of comradeship which it brings out are simply a work of pure class.It's a story about friendship and in many ways dignity and self-respect. The performances are really good even though they have the stamp of the 60s melodrama, still it keeps the viewers involved and touches their heart. The music is exceptional with Mohd. Rafi Sahab at his very best with as many as 5 great solos to his credit. Laxmikant Pyarelal, the music directors, also take a lot of credit for the brilliant music.

All in all, this a classic and if you are interested in watching the best of Hindi cinema this one is a must for you.

very heart touching movie. i loved this great era old movie.. the legend of old movie. this movie is very nice. old is gold its true here. the songs are very touchy.

i have seen this movie 10 times. must watch who loves Indian movies. i love Indian cinema. now all things changed in movie industry but old is gold. every Indian must watch this movie.the story about friendship n humanity. just watch n enjoy. excellent movie.

It will be a great injustice not to comment on songs. No wonder the film won all five best Filmfare awards of 1965. There couldn't be a better lyrics and better voice . I usually fwd the songs while watching a movie on DVD but this was an exception as the songs are worth listening. Md. Rafi at his best ...

I watched the movie and can't resist appreciating one of the master class from Indian Cinema. What a depiction of friendship !! just amazing....This is third movie which broke me in tears , the first two being Mera Naam Joker and Shree 420. The two actors Sudhir Kumar and Shushil Kumar have performed as if they were born to play the role. They can't be so much bonded even in real life as they are in the movie. Direction is also perfect with each emotion being captured and portrayed so simply but vividly . Mohan bringing lantern for Ramu was just superb and the way Ramu's examination result is disclosed to Mohan at the end is so heart touching and emotional that one can hardly resist ones tears. I was lucky to watch it alone at night with no one around to disturb and was just captivated in the movie for 3 hours.

Three cheers to Tarachandji.....Hats off to you....

It feels so bad that with so much advanced technology now a days in Bollywood somehow the real art and classics are lost and worst is that the loss is beyond repair with increasing commercialization and glamor. Gone are the days of real classics.

A must watch movie for all who love Indian Cinema.
