Nadiya Ke Paar

Nadiya ke paar is a phenomenon. A true reflection of rural India in those times & it was brilliant time for sure. Remembering grandpa days. People used to come in bullock cart to see this movie. It was a huge huge hit. The music & cast was superb. Rajshri's pinnacle I guess. HAHK is a poor copy. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Greatest movie that Rajshri production has ever produced. Direction is amazing, acting is superb, story is excellent. All actors seem natural. You will be surprised by the dialogue, locations, if you have ever lived in or seen a north Indian village.

You will find this movie beyond your expectation. Emotion, drama, comedy and many other genre are rightly mixed. Its about love, tradition, sacrifice. The music is awesome. Songs are exceptional. No one can watch it just once.

When you start the movie, you will say that this movie should never end. Especially the first half, totally fun.

A must watch movie!

Director Bimal Roy in Do Bigha Zamin gave a vivid picture of poverty , hardship and desperation in rural India and you will see the happiness, family enjoyment and prosperity in Nadiya ke Paar. Director Govinda Moonis created a masterpiece of a film in Nadiya Ke Paar. The scenes from a family household in rural India, their daily chores, their lives in the village, the wedding ceremony, the holi festival have been masterfully picturised in this family tale so well that you would not like to miss a minute of this grandiose display of filmmaking. I have seen to more movies with the same story line, B.R. Chopra's Gumrah and more recent Hum Apko Hain Kaun but out of the three Nadiya is the best of all three. While the other two are more story oriented, Nadiya Ke Paar is a story of the Indian village life. The actors Sachin and Sadhana Singh gave a superb performance in their respective roles along with all the other major players in the movie. The gradual evolution of love between Gunja ( Sadhana Singh ) and Chandan ( Sachin ) from a stormy first encounter on the river bank is just so wonderful to watch. The music is enchanting specially the one in the bullock cart and the holi song and dance. I have seen this movie a few times and will likely see it many more times in future. Once you start seeing this movie you cannot stop. This is not a movie but the story of Indian village life where the acting, the dialogues, the scenes and music keeps you glued to the screen hoping it never ends.

I always knew that Hum Aap ke hai kaun is remake of Nadiya ke Paar but never got a chance to see this movie. Having seen both of these movies, Nadiya ke paar is much better. The plot is better and characters justify their role very well. I really appreciate Rajshree production's way of showing Indian culture and tradition. If you are from Northern India then you can relate to this movie even more. I certainly had fun watching it and it's going to be in top 10 bollywood movies list of all time.

I don't know what happened to characters in this movie. For some reason, they did not click in other movies, but if I were to judge them solely based on this movie, they are super starts.

As Sachin Tendulkar is loved by 3 different generations ; Sachin Pilgaonkar and Sadhana SIngh's "Nadiyan ke Paar" is definitely Loved by my Grandfather, Father as well as My generation's peoples. It's been 42 long Years in 2024 ; still I'm in love with this movie from every aspects. The Cinematography of Rural India in 80s' with conservative mindsets among villagers were crystal clear in this movie which gives us realism about that contemporary India. You will definitely fall in Love with Gunja + Chandan's Jodi because of their innocence and beautiful portrayal of their characters on screen. I'm still amazed to know that it was the debut movie of 'Sadhna Singh'. I mean the way she played her role as a beautiful village girl was definitely appealing to our eyes and we fell in love with her character instantaneously.

The runtime of this movie is around 2hr30Min which is edited pretty well I'll say, because at that time period filmmakers doesn't care much about runtimes and average runtimes of such stories could have been upto 3hrs. But here's a little negative point that they rushed the climax very fast. They could have taken more 2-3Min to showcase the entire dilemma and emotions of each characters, that could have been more feel good factors for the today's audiences. But anyway! Audiences of that era accepted it and made it an all time cult classic with blockbuster in numbers. Songs of this movie are still feel refreshing in my generation especially 'Kaun disha mein leke Chala' & 'Jogi Ji Waah' are still in my Car Music playlist.

Overall a beautiful Cinema with hell lot of emotions. I was literally crying while watching this movie. Definitely gonna recommend this to everyone as it's a Family Friendly movie with no vulgarity like today's time. 9 Out of 10 Stars will be the rating from my side for it.. It's a Must Watch Movie for sure!
