Ek Duuje Ke Liye

Loved the story. I have seen it atleast 5 times and I still love it. It is an amazing movie and would recommend everyone to watch it. The entire family members can watch it and enjoy it. I still remember seeing it at my hometown the very first time with all the ender members of the family. All of us enjoyed alot.

Stunning music, acting and direction The film is quite well directed and shot, and it captures the beauty of Goa exceedingly well. The romantic sequences were extremely well handled and are of the film's most entertaining. But then the movie has its turn when the youngsters' love has to withstand a test. This was a rather unconvincing phase and from then on the film became quite melodramatic and occasionally boring. Some scenes in which the heroine's mother tries hard to morally deter her were particularly peculiar, although I personally was curious about the film's next proceedings.

Ek Duuje Ke Liye has several songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Some of them were okay, like "Tere Mere Beech Mein" but none was really great. At times the songs came across as totally unnecessary (and I'm actually not one of those who are against song numbers in Hindi movies). The film's acting is generally good. Kamal Hassan does very well as the main lead. Towards the second half he even manages to bring a new dimension to his character. Also, his classical dance numbers were fantastic. Rati Agnihotri suits her part and is extremely pretty. At times she stared angry eyes at her mother and it was a bit repetitive but overall it was a good debut and I liked her in a number of her subsequent films so let it be. Madhavi was very good in whatever little she was given. But the film's biggest flaw is obviously its ending. It is unexpected and surprising, and I don't mean to say it as a compliment. I was totally disappointed and could not figure why the writer in his own mind would think of such a melodramatic twist, which was not necessary and did not really conclude the story well. I mean, the film was not a fairytale saga, so why end it like.

I saw it in PAK circa 1982, probably 5 or 6 times, the songs are top notch...the heroine is as fine as all outdoors , the hero is a likable tool. It is nice story with a non-mundane ending, which is usually typical of "Bollywood" nonsense...Just watch it, you will like it - I think. If you don't dig the story, you will not deny the songs =) I was a youngster in 82, but I still liked it then, not even knowing what it meant to be in that state. Now, I know what its all about and will preach it to anyone that listens, hahaha...don't hate on love , that is all I have to say about that, ala Forest Gump - And why do I need 10 lines to be approved for commenting, I was done after 5 lines, the last few lines are plain jibberish!
