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 (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.

Story: Senseless & Predictable The film tells two love stories: Pran and Reshma's true love, and Gopal and Neela's tumultuous relationship.

The story was predictable right from the interval. The story was unnecessary made emotional. In many parts the story didn't made any sense, just unnecessary overdramatic scenes. Story had a message of love over lust.

Screenplay: Overdramatic & Slow The screenplay was too sluggish, some scenes could be trimmed. The major drawback was too much amplification of senseless story. Some scenes had songs going together with story.

Characters: Average Reshma: She was a simple mountain girl who fell for Pran. She was shown very innocent who loved pran unconditionally.

Pran: He was a rich person who loved Reshma unconditionally.

Gopal: He was rich man who just wanted lust from women. As the film progressed his character changed.

Neelam: She was a mountain girl who was madly in love with Gopal. Her character was totally senseless & illogical.

Rest all characters were irrelevant.

Dialogues: Good

Performances: Good Raj kapoor: He did a fabulous performance especially dialogue delivery & expressions were superb.

Nargis: She did a impressive performance especially in emotional scenes aced in expressions.

Prem nath: He did a good performance.

Nimmi: She did her part well.

Rest all actors had a small role.

Direction: Good The direction was superb. Some scenes were shot beautifully.

Editing: Satisfactory

Music and BGM: Good All. Songs were melodious & BGM was superb.

Production value: To the point

Ideology: The writer aimed to convey the message that love triumphs over lust, but in doing so, some scenes were exaggerated and overly sentimental, while others lacked logical coherence. The narrative's emotional resonance was amplified at the expense of realism, resulting in an inconsistent viewing experience.

Final verdict: The film had a senseless story & sluggish overdramatic screenplay with good performances & dialogues to balance. Director had shot some beautiful locations along with melodious songs.

This film shows that if means is love, the end is life. If means is flirt, the end is death. If you face natural tragedy in love, you will finally unite. If you create a tragedy by yourselves, you will separate forever. The film's title 'Barsaat' is very appropriate as all main characters in the film cry in a specific time period. Also, Reshma is lost in river water which is filled by rain. The song 'Mujhe Kisi Se Pyaar Ho Gayaa' and 'Jiya Beqarar' are the most attractive songs. Shankar-Jaikishan have created their first best soundtrack in this movie. Nimmi had a huge role in the beginning of the film but Nargis overtook in the later part of the film. Both Raj Kapoor and PremNath have also done very well.
