Angoor

Perfectly casted into a fabulous movie, perfect in comedy and fun. Inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors, this movie displays a general confusion regarding two characters (each in a double role), having same name. This movie illustrates the beauty of acting and superb performance by every character. This movie is worth watching to everyone. Acting performance is natural and really really funny. This movie is one of the best movie (comedy) that I have ever watched in my life. I rate this movie 9/10, as it is perfect and natural. There are no villains, no fight scenes in the movie, yet it is very effective and influencing. The movie makes us laugh at the very start of the movie, and makes us laugh till the end. This movie is directed by Gulzar, who is, in my view, one of the best directors in Indian Cinema. Songs are not bad, and the song "Pritam aan milo" makes movie superb and Worth to watch.

Great performances by Haribhai (AKA Sanjeev kumar). His best performance. A must see for a hindi movie lover. Devan Verma also gives a great performance. Good supporting acting by the rest of the cast.

Gulzar's hilarious adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' offers ample laugh out loud moment. Gulzar's poetic writing is loaded with humour and he gives this superb adaptation its own unique touch. He successfully avoids the usually melodrama (that flooded in most Bollywood films) and I liked that he doesn't waste too much time in needlessly elaborating the story. For example, the separation of the twins and how they were raised is told in a simple dialogue (which is adequate). Very quickly, after introducing the charming characters, Gulzar quickly moves to the double trouble confusion and he does it with wit, sarcasm and loads of comedy.

It's also well-made on the technical side. The cinematography is very good and the way the images of the actors are juxtaposed (to show the twins in one scene) is well conducted. There are a few songs but they are well utilized and the lyrics are magic (thanks to a great poet's touch).

Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are turn on their comic flair to the maximum. Their abilities in comedy are very well known and this is a prototype in their careers. A lovely Moushumi Chatterjee, cute and vivacious Deepti Naval and funny Aruna Irani lend excellent comedic support.

Not only does 'Angoor' prove that Gulzar can tackle comedy with class but also that he is one of the most versatile directors today. This is one of India's finest adaptations of a Shakespeare work.

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 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.
