Angoor

Angoor directed by Gulzar is inspired by Shakespeare's play COMEDY OF ERRORS.Angoor is considered to be one of the best Hindi comedy movies of all time.It is also one of the best selling videos in the DVD market.

The story is about two pairs of twins separated at birth( a malik-naukar set each) whose lives collide in their adulthood when pair no.2 comes to pair no.1 's city.The whole film narrates the confusion that takes place henceforth for the next 2 days.All the characters are very well etched and leave a mark.The film has to be watched to enjoy it.

The direction by Gulzar is flawless.The dialogues,lyrics(especially the song 'Preetam Aan Milo'),costumes,art direction,everything is simple,apt,perfect and realistic.The music by R.D.Burman is okay.There are only 3 songs in the film,of which 'Preetam Aan Milo' stands out.The first song could have been done away with,still it wasn't bad or intolerable.

Coming to the performances the late Sanjeev Kumar stands out.His expressions are simply superb.No actor can even touch him.I heard that Angoor is being remade,but without Sanjeev Kumar there can be no Angoor.So, please drop the stupid idea of remaking this classic.One should not mess around with classics.Deven Verma is equally brilliant in his role.Moushumi Chatterjee,Deepti Naval and Aruna Irani are very good. The supporting cast comprising Padma Chavan,Yunus Parvez,T.P.Jain, C.S.Dubey,Col.Trilok Kapoor and Ram Mohan are also very good and leave a mark in whatever little they have to do.Utpal Dutt and Shammi are memorable in their special appearances.

On the overall,Angoor is a continuous laugh riot which has to be watched by everybody!I simply loved it!

I saw this movie yesterday and nearly fell off my sofa, laughing. Even now I cant stop smiling every time I think of various scenes from the movie. Especially the scene in which Deven Verma barks like a dog is so cute. The plot line about a gang is great touch.

Hats off to Gulzar for such a well thought-out script. Even though, it is a copy of Comedy of Errors, but still I've seen so many perfect stories being ruined by Bollywood, that this one is a relief. I cannot think a single other recent movie which is made with so much thought, a lot more money perhaps, but not much thought.

Highly recommended...!!

This film is fantastic! An Indianised "comedy of errors", it nicely highlights the similarities between Indian humour and that of Shakespeare. The comic potential of "twin twins" may seem to have been fully exploited,but this film transported the idea to India superbly well. The scene with the bhang was a gem. I am not sure why this film receives so little praise, or even acknowledgement, but if you are looking for a first-class Indian comic film, it is very hard to go past "Angoor". Considering the drek that passes for comedy in Hindi film today, thanks to David Dhawan and others like him, Angoor may be hard to find, but it's worth the effort, and I now want to find more films featuring this talented cast.

A hilarious remake of A COMEDY OF ERRORS. Two Sanjeev Kumars and two Deven Vermas - a master and servant pair.

Confusions are many when the pairs get mistaken for each other. Nice music by R.D.Burman.

A very nice and clean situational comedy that will drive you crazy. There are no such dialogues used in this movie that makes us laugh, but the situation is such that it makes us laugh like anything.

2 pairs of Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma gets separated and later creates mis-understandings due to same names.

The movie is old but it appeals to masses. Even today someone from 21st century can enjoy Angoor. Gulzar has created a master-piece. Acting of sanjeev kumar and deven verma is a class in its own.

Angoor is worth every penny and time you spent.

We are proud that we had film-makers like gulzar and actors like sanjeev kumar and deven verma in our cinema.
