Safar

Aaradhna one of the first diamond jublee blockbuster movie that starts Rajesh khanna superstardom on box office this movie directed by Shakti Samanta and acting by first superstar in hindi cinema shri Rajesh khanna this was outstanding story based and kishor kumar songs Mindblowing magic that rajesh khanna make it all time blockbuster movie this is 1969 magic starts by First superstar in india that unbeatable records and create new mildstone in india that is called superstar Rajesh khanna and sharmila combination makes blockbusters like khamoshi , aaradhana , amar prem, safar and many more movies that called superhit and blockbusters. Rajesh khanna worked 180 movies within 180 movies 110 solo actor and within 110 hits out of 180 40 superhits ( silver jublee) 20 blockbusters (golden jublee) this solo actor also named on superstar Rajesh khanna.

This is among one of the movies for which Rajesh Khanna shall be remembered forever. The prime reason because they don't make films like SAFAR anymore. There are no such story writers, directors, actors and even cameramen left, who are infused with the subtle humanistic forces which define the moral, social and real to life values.

This movie won most of the acclaim due to its super hit songs (wording as well as the screenplay). The mostly sad songs render the impetuous to the sequence of events. The songs are instilled with a sublime sense laden with an ethereal message. There are some unanswered questions about the essence of life which have been left for the audience to ponder.

It is extremely difficult for the present generation, especially those who love to watch sci-fi, computer graphic animated, fictional movies who possess an entirely different mindset,..... to enjoy and watch such classic films; where a subtle interaction of life, its shortcomings, tragedy, hope and fate revolves around the unforeseen situations of life.

Please don't get upset, if I state that not only the Indian cinema but the worldwide trend in movie making has resorted to a short cut materialistic approach with the help of technology, which can never be equaled to the sharpened intellect of human mind.

Safar will always be remembered as a classic in Hindi cinema. It features superstar Rajesh khanna with sharmila & feroze khan. Rajesh Khanna once again plays a cancer patient with conviction. IS Johar provides the humour & sharmila has an author backed role.

This must be one of the few films where feroze khan gets a chance to act & he does a neat job.

Music was supposed to be composed by RD, an RK favourite but he had some problems with kaka at that time & hence Laxmikant Pyarelal were roped in. Critics who say that music in kaka's films became hits only because of the kaka-pancham combo, should hear the songs in this film.

The screenplay could have been a bit tighter but overall, it touches your heart. Rajesh Khanna looks tremendously handsome & his performance is heart warming.

Truly a film for lovers of good cinema & as for kaka's fans, they will surely rank this film among their hero's top 10.

I watched the movie mainly for Feroz Khan who has given a stellar performance in the movie. Movie's main protagonist is female lead Sharmila Tagore who perfectly plays the character of guit ridden woman . She moves on with her life and helps other to redeem herself of the death of her husband. She is progressive and never looks back. This Story belongs to Sharmila . Rajesh Khanna play a perfect role and gives up her love to lead her comfortable life. He helps Sharmila to focus on her married life. This is a truly gem of a movie, and Screenplay could have been more tight. It would move your heart and touches the soul at the right moments.
