Kashmir Ki Kali

'Kashmir Ki Kali' is a long but charming romantic Hindi melodrama. There are some gorgeous locations in Kashmir which fill the viewers with nostalgia. The film is packed with songs most of which are rather melodious, "Taareef Karoon Kya" and "Deewaana Hua Baadal" being my favorite. Shammi Kapoor is debonair and restless, and Sharmila Tagore delightfully coy. The two complement each other wonderfully and their chemistry works even today. There is some unnecessary melodrama towards the end and the film would have been better served without it. Still quite enjoyable.

Overall 7/10

Yeah! That's what you become after watching this. Such a beautifully directed movie with so much affection. Songs of this movie are just , I can't tell you . Beautiful!!! Ye Chand sa ra Roshan chehra!!! Deewana hua Badal!!! Oh my gosh:))

When I heard the title,I felt the female protagonist might be a headstrong lady or a fear-evoking personality.Instead,she's a tender and lovable 'Champa',. It's a good love story with a neat twist in the second half, which made the film quite watchable and special.The major plus points are the beautiful settings and great music (Each and every song is beautiful to say the least.).The heroine Sharmila Tagore looks extremely beautiful and charmingly innocent.Shammi Kapoor too is good looking.The film moves quite smoothly without making you feel bored. However ,the climax turned out to be a big drag with a rather unusually long fights. Nevertheless,it can be watched with less expectations if you don't mind to kill time !!

An interesting movie captured among the scenic beauty of Kashmir - its beautiful people, valleys and mountains adding to the romance of Rajiv (Shammi Kapoor) and Champa (Sharmila Tagore). The melodious songs, Shammi Kapoor's tomfoolery and wooing, Sharmila Tagore's portrayal of a shy and beautiful Kashmiri gal, the blossoming romance leave a pleasant and happy impression. Pran's notoriety is credible in his portrayal of a mean forest contracter. The absence of a strong storyline or rather the simplicity of it is what makes this movie unforgettable...for this allows the discerning audience to focus on the leading couple's love and the beautiful landscapes. I love contemporary cinema but am extremely fond of these gems from the 60s (and 70s)...Teesri Manzil, An Evening in Paris, Rajkumar, Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai, Junglee, Kashmir Ki Kali...all I can say is WOW!!!! (Sanjeev Logani :-)

A great movie classic from the Golden age of Hindi movies. So sweet a story with absolutely wonderful songs that excellent scenery and staging. This the the film debut of Sharmila Tagore (granddaughter of Asia's 1st Nobel prize winner Rabindranath Tagore). Shammi Kapoor is also excellent in this movie - a very natural and versatile actor who did a great job in this movie. This is a classic love story of a pampered city boy getting his comeuppance from the poor, but proud village girl and his chase to capture her heart.

The cinematography is gorgeous and the Kashmir never looked as beautiful as it does in this film

A must have in any Hindi movie collection!!!
