Kranti

This movie along with Roti, Kapada aur Makaan is amogst Manoj Kumars best ever! The script by Salim Javed, the music by Laxmikant Pyarelaal, the direction by Manoj Kumar himself and all of the actors (Manoj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini, Parveen Babi, Dheeraj Kumar, Pradeep Kumar, Prem Chopra, Kunal Goswami, Sulochna and Kamini Kaushal amongst others) are perfect. A lost and found styory set during the independence struggle it just doesn't get better than this. Manoj is really Bharat! Detail : Kamini Kaushal who has been Manoj his screen mom in all the films Manoj made was also in this movie but not as his mom. That role went to Nirupa Roy. And the reason was that Dilip Kumar was playing the role of Manoj his father (the two of them were the leading men in Aadmi also, both in love with Waheeda Rehmaan), and Dilip and Kamini Kaushal had an affair 20 to 30 years before this movie that did not end well. Actually it caused quite a riot in its day because she was a hindu and he a Muslim. Back to the film, all the songs are gems but the best of the lot is Lata and Nitin Mukesh's (father of Neil Nitin Mukesh) Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi, Pyaar Karle Ghadi Do Ghadi

A near 3 hour melodrama with aging actors playing young men, a messed up storyline, and then we have Indian actors wearing blonde wigs and makeup to play Britishers. How this movie became a blockbuster is beyond me. It has to rank among the most overrated Bollywood movies of all time.

I saw this movie recently as I am on dilip kumar movie list ... All I felt was the quality of prints are bit roughed up..... Rest this movies haa still no match .... Particular kranti .... It's purely cinematic engagement... Too much fiction.. too much of drama and un scientific logics but so convincing performance that you really don't care ... Great cast assembling great charactes... One sud not dare to remake such movie as today we won't find a match of such great actors we lack that talent now ... No one has that real life persona or reel life talent ... Good movie ...

Review By Kamal K

Movie is nice entertainer I enjoyed songs acting direction was good enough according to those times.

Great film with great songs. Have been humming the songs since watching it - check out www.dishant.com.

Saw it when i was young, and bought back a couple of memories, vaguely remember the film but you can never forget the wonderful songs.

The song, 'Zindagi ki na tote lari' was fantastic and very emotional, especially where the fantastic Hema Malini and Manoj Kumar are on the top deck, all wet and crying their eyes out, the picturisation was amazing and you really felt for both characters.

Why did Praveen Babi have such a short role in the film? Definitely recommend the film to others.
