Naseeb

This film is a gem. It has to certainly be an all time classic for people of my generation who grew up in the 70's and 80's. To those who live in England, it is of special significance as it was shown on Channel 4 a few times in the mid and late eighties. It all starts when four friends Kader Khan,Amjad Khan,Pran and Jagdish)receive a winning lottery ticket and Jagdish wins. Out of sheer greed Kader Khan and Amjad Khan kill Jagdish and frame Pran. They throw Pran into a river and he is persumed dead. Kader Khan and Amjad Khan start a hotel with their winnings. Years later we find out that Pran is actually very much alive and returns to avenge his friend's murder, which results in a superb finale that takes place in a hotel. & super songs sung by Mohammad Rafi,Kishore Kumar with great music by Laxmikant Pyarelal.one of the evergreen movie in the history of Bollywood..

Four years after the classic Amar Akbar Anthony Manmohan Desai made another classic Nasseb. What makes it different from the latter was its lavish budget. Another difference were the villains, Amjad Khan, Kader Khan, Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor and Amrish Puri (wow!!).

The songs were extremely good. John Jani Janardhan was a childhood favourite of mine and still is. The song is memorable for the special appearances by film stars. Rajesh Khanna, Simi Garewal, Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Dharmendra, Rakesh Roshan and Sharmila Tagore( forgive me if I have missed someone). Zindagi imtihaan leti hai was also a favourite of mine and so was Rang Jamake Jayenge.

After reading my review of classic films people might assume Iam in my 30's or 40's in fact Iam only 22. I absolutely love classic movies, they have a appeal that is sorely lacking in todays films. Manmohan Desai thank you for giving me a passion for Bollywood movies.

Basically,I think that if the actors and actresses are good performers the whole film ends up being good and as part of this film it has the best actors and actresses that can perform great.Amitabh Bachchan,Hema Malini,Rishie Kapoor,Shatrughan Sinha,Reena Roy,Rishie kapoors wife in the film,Kader Khan,Shakti Kapoor,Amrish Puri,Amjad Khan,Jeevan,Prem Chopra and everyone else.Naseeb has the right time to be funny and the right time to be emotional.Naseeb was a perfect film and had a mixture of meanings such as Friendship,love,sacrifice and being poor but being patient.I love the part at the end when they are in the hotel and they fight like mad.

A fast moving multistarrer. Does not give you much time to think Good songs, good performances. Lovable.

Its not one my most favourite movies but it is a fun watch with great star cast and music score. Story is very topical of that time just done on a big scale but it is a very enjoyable family movie.
