Kudrat

I loved the movie as it held my attention and interest till the end while offering a visual feast of sorts, replete with the ethereal beauty of Hema and the very handsome Khanna (in a supporting yet powerful role), the picturesque locales and overall colourful ambiance, be it in costumes or surroundings. Performance wise, Hema Malini proves herself worthy of being the centre of attraction and action of the movie, vinod khanna has lived his character to perfection, Priya rajvansh though seems lacklustre initially, transforms into a beautiful substantial portrayal of a proud indefatigable daughter. Raj kumar is....well, raj kumar again!Aruna Irani is wasted in a half baked character but the real let down is the hero himself. Yes, Rajesh Khanna disappoints on all counts. Period. I might be biased against his 'style of acting' but I did find it woefully short of the requirements of the role. Maybe that is why I found the character one dimensional most of the time. The only thing that works for him here is his superstar status. The music is excellent(the name of the music director guarantees that!) although the songs could be better choreographed. The story clichéd but told with a difference. The courtroom drama is the highlight of the movie and takes it to another level altogether. Crowned in the end with a perfect climax,overall, the movie is a must watch for film buffs.

This movie is an interesting past life chilling drama. Hema malini and Rajesh Khana play the part of lovers in their past life only to be reawaked by the Reincarnated Hema malini who unearths a dark secret. This film is not a full on horror flim its more of as supense murder mystery that will leave you really spooked. The film features a lovely soundrtack featuring some lovely romantic numbers. Hema Malini's performance is really very good.Raj kumar plays the evil protagonist whose actions form the basis for the drama Though this wasn't the scarriest film I have ever seen it sure did spook me out for the rest of the evening. Worth a Watch 9 out of 10.

Kudrat is a taut thriller directed by chetan anand. The reincarnation theme has been handled in a few movies & this one impresses. Music by RBDB is of the highest class. It has got an impressive star cast who have all given goof performances.

Hemamalini has given a beautiful performance & her chemistry with kaka is magical. Raaj kumar is his usual self. Vinod khanna gets a relatively minor role. Rajesh khanna steals the show witha fantastic performance. The main drawback is. Priya Rajvansh who is wooden & performs miserably.

There were stories before release that kaka took the entire reel & edited it. If that were true, then the other actors would have got their roles chopped off.

The film did average business possibly bcos of its delayed me , release & also bcos a film with a similar theme Karz was released earlier.

Anyway, a movie to be savoured for rajesh khanna fans.

I am shocked to see 7.2 rating on Imdb for this classic cult by Chetan Anand. i mean c'mon what is wrong with indian audience and critics. This movie deserves to be in TOP 5 hindi movies ever. Direction, Story, Sceenplay, Music & most importantly Acting be all the legends in this movie is beyond perfect.

Highly recommended to everyone who is reading this review.

A very well made movie with its brilliant story and editing being its hallmark. All of the melodious songs carried the story forward and were beautifully inserted at the right times. An evergreen movie which has stood the test of time even after 41 years.
