'Lahore' is a nice film for its accurate portrayal of a partition victim couple who are neighbors and are in love with each other and they live in the city of Lahore. But somehow during the partition the girl is left in Lahore and the boy migrates to India with his whole family because he is a Hindu and anti-Hindu riots break out in the city of Lahore where he used to stay with his family. And now, after partition of India, Lahore has become a part of the newly formed Islamic nation, Pakistan. When the boy reaches India he somehow meets his girlfriend's mother who was there in the same refugee camp. But, he got to know that his lover has been left alone in Pakistan. I won't reveal the story further. Watch it yourself to know exactly what happens after this.

'Lahore' is a nice film which was released in India in 1949, just a couple of years after the partition of India. Therefore, the portrayal of emotions by the actors seems real and authentic. In real life, perhaps some of the actors were also victims of partition. But, i am not too sure about that. It's just a wild guess.

Nargis, Pratima Devi, Karan Dewan and Om Prakash are the lead artists in this film. All these artists have portrayed their roles well and have done justice with their respective roles.

Would Mr.Verma be able to kill his daughter's lover? Would Meena marry Ranjan? What would be the fate of Kishore?To find out watch 'Shreeman Funtoosh'. Acting of all the artists is nice.I don't know if this film was a box-office success or not when it was released in 1965 because the concept of this movie was quite unique for the Hindi movie audiences who were used to watching romantic & social films in the 1960s. Science fiction was a new concept then.

Pasha(Danny Denzongpa)is a criminal who has entrapped the jailer's(Pran)sister in his false love.When jailer comes to know about his sister's love with a criminal,he orders her to leave his home.After some days,she comes back to his brother with her new-born baby and passes away.

Now,Pasha kidnaps the jailer's son Ashok and teaches him each and every trick of theft.Pasha wants to take revenge from the jailer because once he had put him into jail.Pasha renames Ashok as Suraj(Sunny Deol)and makes him a very big thief.

Many years pass by.Now,Suraj is a youngster.One day,Suraj happens to meet Aarti(Neelam),who runs an NGO to help poor and needy people.Suraj falls in love with Aarti.Now comes Inspector Vijay(Chunky Pandey)into picture.He also loves Aarti.But Aarti has already fallen in love with Suraj.Vijay tells Aarti about Suraj's bad practices.But,somehow,Suraj manages to convince her and promises that he will leave all these bad practices.Vijay always confronts Suraj and warns him to be away from Aarti.

The performances of the actors is good.Sunny Deol & Pran excel in their respective roles.Danny Denzongpa has done full justice with his villainous role.Neelam looks good & acts well.But,the show stealer according to me(it's my personal opinion)is Chunky Pandey.His dialogue delivery is good and he gives good competition to Sunny Deol in this film.Although,when this film had released in 1988,Chunky Pandey was relatively a newcomer.But,even then,he excelled in his role of Inspector Vijay.The confrontation scenes between Sunny Deol & Chunky Pandey are good. Other actors like Paintal & Shakti Kapoor have done well in their respective roles.

Dialogs of this film are good. Music is okay.A couple of songs are good.Main tera tota & Chori Chori yun jab are great songs.

Will Pasha allow Suraj to leave him? Will the jailer be able to capture Pasha and his gang? Who will marry Aarti?Suraj or Vijay?

To find out,watch Paap ki Duniya(1988). It's not a great movie,but it's not that bad either.

My Rating 7/10.
