Kashmir Ki Kali

this is a quite good film actually, i don;t really watch old films but this was alright. although there were far too many long songs in the film, it has a good story so i suggest u should watch it. shammi kapoor is cool as well and overall the film has a good story that at first isn't obvious but towards the end it has a twist. I don't want to give the story away but it revolves around a boy who looks for a girl to marry. Of course in every Hindi film there is a bad man which dies i think lol hm at the end the boy realises he isn't who he thought he was, i can't say anymore coz i'll spoil the story but watch it, its kind of funny sometimes.

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!!!

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 absolutely fantastic and fun filled movie. The songs are so beautiful , on that count alone this movie deserves 9 stars. The composer is the inimitable O P Nayyar who has crafted each song with great taste and each song is a connoisseur's delight. The song picturization is just excellent and Shammi and Sharmila excel in these scenes. The dance sequence " Nigahon Nigahon" is a feast to the eyes. And then the truth hits us hard as to how the Bollywood standards in music has deteriorated from then to now. I run out of superlatives for this movie's music and its picturization in the background of breathtaking locale. The entire movie is shot in Kashmir and the director Shakti Samanta deserves great praise for the finesse with which he has selected the different locations. The movie is shot mostly on outdoor locations and the camera work is just superb.It is sad we don't get to see such movies anymore. This movie has lost none of it's charm even to this day. This movie ranks as one of the greatest achievements of the commercial cinema genre. The rest of the cast apart from Shammi,Sharmila and Pran are just about enough for their roles. Pran gives a hilarious twist to the villain's role with his manneristic laugh. The storyline, the plot and the rest of the stuff about this movie is just about average as can be expected in a commercial potboiler.

All in all it is fit to form a part of the discerning collector's treasure.

Film Was Released In May 1964 & Not In November 1964.
