      MUSIC, MELODY AND DRAMA :- CLASSIC ROMANTIC FILM

      Kati Patang is one of the best unconventional romantic films to come out of Indian Cinema. It is one of those films which showcases women's subjugation in society, societal expectations and deep meaning of love and social relationships. The story follows a young woman Madhavi (Asha Parekh) whose life takes a 360 degree turn when she gets rejected by her lover Kailash (Prem Chopra) on her wedding night. How this incident changes her life is what the story is about. It is wonderfully written by Gulshan Nanda, the direction (by Shakti Samanta) is upto the mark and the screenplay is tight, it never loses its pace (especially the first half is amazing). The climax and the ending is made, keeping in mind the expectations of the audiences of its time. Asha Parekh gives a memorable performance as Madhavi. Rajesh Khanna as Kamal is absolutely rave, I don't understand how Kakaji used outperform the heroines in a women-centric film and grab the limelight. He is truly amazing. Prem Chopra and Bindu as villians :- what can be more dangerous and interesting than that. They are perfect in their roles and do justice to their characters. Supporting cast does commendable job. Now let's talk about the main part :- MUSIC- THE HEART AND SOUL OF KATI PATANG. One of the finest and greatest Hindi film soundtracks you may have probably heard of. Excellent work by Pancham Da , great lyrics by Anand Bakshi sahab and voices of Kishore Da, Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh ji are the base of this high pitched melodrama which provide life and joy to the story.

      Two plus points I would like to highlight are :- the wonderful locations of Manali being excellently shot and another one is the costumes worn by the actors. It truly created a fashion movement back in those days when the film was released.

      In conclusion, it's a soothing film and if you are a fan of classic, melodrama love stories, this one is surely for you but with a twist.

      A classic not just for the song selections alone

      A true classic for the hopelessly romantic. An ageless epic of romance and with sprinkles of suspense and agony of a woman scorned by one and yet passionate and protective of another who she had betrayed unknowingly. This is perhaps Asha Parekh's last starring role and she converges all of her emotions and essence into it portraying a woman living a lie. Rajesh Khanna plays true the man scorned by a love he has never seen and falls again for a maiden whom he isn't likely to get either. The songs alone channel the story through its pathway and the climax well - is not unlike so many other Hindi movies around. Prem Chopra a true Hindi villain and Bindu the budding vamp is just the right touch for any ole Hindi Classic.

      Nice movie of sacrifice and love

      In some ways a typical formula bollywood movie. Good story line, nice songs and of course good acting.

      Fresh love story

      Kati Patang has everything going for it - a beautiful lead pair, neat script, lively screenplay, lovely dialogues, breathtaking locales, pleasing photography, melodious music & efficient direction.

      The film tackles the issue of widow remarriage, albeit not so deeply. It is a heroine centric film with Asha Parekh doing full justice to the character, her expressive eyes being a big plus point. She pairs up well with Kaka, though she looks slightly older than him.

      The supporting cast of Nasser Hussein, Bindhu & Prem Chopra play their parts well.

      Rajesh Khanna once again walks away with the honours even though the focus is on the heroine. He is at his dashing, handsomest best & does full justice to his character.

      The songs by R.D Burman are melodious & evergreen - pyar deewana hota hai, yeh sham mastaani etc., The film was liked by people of all ages & was a smasher at the box office.

Enter in Rajesh khanna the man whom she would have been married to if she had not run away. This then becomes the beginnig of a beautiful love story between the two. the film features a lovely evergreen classic soundrack, a must watch film...

Although the film's director Shakti Samanta confirmed her claim, Asha Parekh denied that she was ever second-choice for the role that won her the Filmfare Best Actress Award.
