Barsaat

One of the loveliest and beautiful romantic movies of all time. Nargis and Raj Kapoor are so beautiful together they're really the best romantic partners. And I love this movie's song

Barsaat (Rain) is an Indian Hindi-language film directed by Raj Kapoor and written by Ramanand Sagar. This movie stars Raj Kapoor as Pran, Nargis as Reshmna, Premnath as Gopal, and Nimmi as Neela. Gopal and Pran are best friends with diverse perspectives of love; this movie revolves around two love stories, Gopal and Neela, which could be considered one-sided, and Pran and Reshma, which is regarded as more natural and genuine. Honestly, this movie is so good, with great dialogues and superb acting, and includes all types of emotions that the audience can try to feel. The soundtrack is outstanding, along with addicting songs and addictive lyrics.

Barsaat (1949) - 70%

Not One Of The Best Works Of Raj Kapoor By Any Standard, But Still A Fine Watch... "Barsaat" Has All The Ingredients Of A True-Blue Romantic Musical, Including Chartbuster Soundtrack (Shankar-Jaikishan), Beautiful Locations (Kashmir), Memorable Performances (Kapoor, Nargis, Prem Nath, Nimmi) & A Heartfelt Story (Power Of Love), But What It Lacks Is An Engaging Screenplay, Which Prevents It From Becoming An Evergreen Classic Like Awaara, Shree 420, Sangam Or Mera Naam Joker, But As I Said Earlier... The Plusses In The Film Majorly Overpower The Negatives & Leave You Satisfied In The End.

i've been in a Raj Kapoor mood lately.first of all i consider the man my mentor because everything that he's done,i want to do.i eventually want to be and actor/director for my films.i want great music for my films.i want people to appreciate my work.

on with Barsaat.this film has been done so well.forget the Barsaat of 1995 and 2005.if you want to see a film called Barsaat,than you must go all the way back to 1949.when the credits show at the beginning of the movie it says Starring Nargis before it says Raj Kapoor and i have to say that it is true.this is Nargis's film.she's acted brilliantly.she's the life and soul of this movie.Nargis is Reshma.you can see it in her eyes,her expression,and everything she says.this is probably her best performance to date.i hope eventually someone will put this film into color.

Raj Kapoor did a fabulous job acting,directing,and producing this film.this is amongst his best performances.you can tell in the scene when him and Nargis go on their first boat ride.Shankar Jaikishan's music is up to par.

the only fault in this film is the fact that there's a song every 15 to 20 minutes.too many songs.otherwise a brilliantly made film.

9.5/10

This was from the early days of Bollywood, when the film industry was just beginning to be just that – and one of the first golden age classics. Barsaat was so popular that skinny Raj Kapoor established RK Studios on the back of its success, so without this film it might have been a different movie story in the 1950's.

How to sum up a 3 hour film … the famous love triangle – 2 brothers, Kapoor serious and Prem Nath out for a good time fall in love with the same woman, the beautiful 20 year old Nargis. The relationships have their ups and downs but ultimately alas! Cut into this are some iconic images of Nargis and many mesmerising songs from Shankar-Jaikashan in their debut, apparently all of them sung by Lata – although they let Mukesh in for a few minutes with Chhod Gaye Balaam (with some especially lovely moody photography here starting with Kapoor brooding at the piano). Favourite bit: Ab Mera Kaun Sahara with Nargis in a wistful and sorrowful vein and Lata displaying a marvellously steady vocal control.

If you have tears prepare to shed them at this unless you have a heart of stone or have seen too many modern movies! I've not seen either Barsaat 1995 or 2005 but I don't think they're re-makes, in any case I shouldn't have thought they'd be anywhere near as good as this was.
