Yeh Vaada Raha

The movie is an older Bollywood film, so there is the usual excessive sentimentality; several scenes are aimed simply at making the viewer cry along with the characters on-screen. This movie also has an absurd plot detail involving plastic surgery.

That said - it's still a nice movie. The visuals are bright and appealing. The movie captures the innocence and charm of old school Indian cinema. The songs are top of the line: Tu Hai Wahi and Maine Tujhe Kabhi Kuch Kaha are classics. I could watch the music video for those songs all day. The 2 lead actresses Poonam Dhillion and Tina Mumin are both gorgeous. I love the saris that they wear throughout the film. Rishi Kapoor is a good lead.

10/10.

A time when romance was noble, pure and from the heart.

This movie by Ramesh Behl (Rose movies) is actually one of the best remakes Bollywood has ever made of a Hollywood movie. Everything in this movie just fell into place. I mean the acting is superb, the casting is very good, the cast itself is phenomenal. But then again we are talking about Rishi Kapoor so that should be normal, the guy is always good even if the movie isn't. Rishi Kapoor is the son of a rich Raakhee Gulzar. He falls in love with a poor singer, Poonam Dhillon. They want to get married. At first Raakhee objects but finally agrees. Before they get married they get in a car accident and Poonam her face get smashed. Rishi thinks she has died and Raakhee has her sent away so that Rishi can get married to another rich girl Sarika (okay so the movie isn't perfect). Shammi Kapoor, a doctor, performs plastic surgery on Poonam and after he does she becomes Tina Munim. When Rishi and Tina meet something happens. Rishi cant explain why but he wants to be close to her not knowing Tina is actually Poonam. Nice thing is that Poonam and Tina have the same voice in the movie. Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan had dubbed for both actresses and it works very very well. All the songs sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle under music direction of RD Burman are evergreen classics : Milgayee Aaj Kuch Lehren, Aesa Kabhi Huwa Nahin, Jeene Ko Toh Jeete Hai Sabhi but the best of the lot is the title song TU TU HAI WOHI DILNE JISE APNA KAHAN TU HAI JAHAN MAIN HOON WAHAN ABE TOH JEH JEENA TERE BIN HAI SAZAA which gets remixed even today. Watch this movie, better, buy this movie

This is my all-time FAVOURITE movie. I don't even know how many times I've watched it... must be close to 40... This is one of those classics that stays in your heart forever. I just have to say though, until this last time when I watched it, this movie was a really serious one for me, in the sense that I could find very little wrong with it. But I really have to share some funny parts with you. First when Vicky's mother's sari gets stuck in the car door, and second during the accident, dummies were obviously used, but if you watch the driver's side VERY carefully, you'll see the head fall off when the car hits the truck. haha. but otherwise, an EXCELLENT movie - you gotta see it!

Classic songs, different storyline, excellent acting, beautiful cinematography. I've seen this movie many-a-times and would never tire of it. It's clean, entertaining, and interesting. There is an unexpected twist in the movie that makes it different from your normal Indian love stories. The ending may become a bit predictable watching it today, but for the time it was made, it's excellent. The best part is the collection of songs. The famous song from it "Tu tu hai wohi" has been resung and remixed over and over by the young generations. A sweet, emotional drama made for the romantic at heart of all ages. Definitely worth a watch!
