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.

I saw this movie yesterday and nearly fell off my sofa, laughing. Even now I cant stop smiling every time I think of various scenes from the movie. Especially the scene in which Deven Verma barks like a dog is so cute. The plot line about a gang is great touch.

Hats off to Gulzar for such a well thought-out script. Even though, it is a copy of Comedy of Errors, but still I've seen so many perfect stories being ruined by Bollywood, that this one is a relief. I cannot think a single other recent movie which is made with so much thought, a lot more money perhaps, but not much thought.

Highly recommended...!!

The gentle comedies of Gulzar are always a pleasure. However, this movie takes the cake. A double double role is something that is difficult to perceive. One is the talented Sanjeev Kumar and the other is funny-man Deven Verma.

This movie has aged very well and can send you to hysterics even today.

One seen kills. The wife on one tells the wrong man to take off his clothes. To which he is very reluctant. The wife replies. How many times I have seen you naked, so why this act now. You should see Sanjeev Kumar's face here.

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.
