Aavishkar

It's depicts beautifully the relations of a man and woman. Rajesh Khanna and sharmila tagore's acting is must watch. In some way it is little boaring , but it's essential to show a serious issue in a serious manner. No doubt Basu Bhattacharya direction is spectacular.

Wonderful dialogues and performence. Must watch for couples. Engaging and very real. Experiential cinematography and edit. Very very Relevant. Simple and touchy.

Aavishkar has done something that no other Bollywood film has ever been able to do -- put me to sleep. I will be totally honest - after forcing myself to watch the first 50 minutes of 90, I could not take it any more and could not care how the film ended. I knew enough that I could not get that 50 minutes back. Rajesh Khanna won a best actor award for this film but I would hate to see the competition. It seemed like he sleep walked through most of it and was literally in bed, half asleep, had headaches and irritable except when he remember how happy he was during the first year of his marriage. This film was supposed to be "artsy." Meybe whoever put it together should have gone back to the drawing board.

Avishkaar will go down in the annals of Hindi cinema as one of the best films ever made. This Rajesh-Sharmila classic explores the matrimonial relationship between 2 headstrong individuals. It is superbly directed by Basu Bhattacharya & he is ably supported by some very good music by Kanu Roy.

The film is just 150 minutes long & that is its strength. The beauty of the film is that it is not judge mental & tells the story as seen by the 2 central characters.

Sharmila Tagore gives a sensitive portrayal & this is another feather in her cap.

However, the real surprise here is the superstar Rajesh Khanna. For people who claim that he was only s star, this is the film they must watch. His performance is worthy of a national award here. He seamlessly blends into the character & this must rate as his finest performance alongside Anand.

It is a pity that Rajesh did not work with more such directors in his illustrious career.

The film did dot do well primarily because mindless potboilers had started ruling the roost in Hindi cinema at that time.

A film which will be forever remembered in Hindi cinema as an absolute must watch for lovers of good cinema.

Both RK and ST have great figures , skills and complexions .they show it in every frame . Devoid of make up or glamour their natural faces and expressions are equally pretty . They are a middle class couple with the usual squabbles . The ending is much needed even today... stay together despite all problems . Tough to imagine ST in simple cotton sarees but she fits in this non glam role very easily . The girl who acted as RKs collegue is very pretty but she was not seen later in any other movie . A fine family fare even today .
