aladdin is a 1992 american animated musical fantasy film produced by walt disney feature animation for walt disney pictures .

the film is the 31st disney animated feature film , and was the fourth produced during the disney film era known as the disney renaissance .

it was directed by john musker and ron clements , and is based on the arab-style folktale of the same name from one thousand and one nights and the french interpretation by antoine galland .

the voice cast features scott weinger , robin williams , linda larkin , jonathan freeman , frank welker , gilbert gottfried and douglas seale .

the film follows aladdin , a street urchin , who finds a magic lamp containing a genie .

in order to hide the lamp from the grand vizier , he disguises himself as a richest prince , and tries to impress the sultan and his daughter .

lyricist howard ashman first pitched the idea , and the screenplay went through three drafts before then-disney studios president jeffrey katzenberg agreed to its production .

the animators based their designs on the work of caricaturist al hirschfeld , and computers were used for both finishing the artwork and creating some animated elements .

the musical score was written by alan menken and features six songs with lyrics written by both ashman and tim rice , who took over after ashman 's death .

the film was released on november 25 , 1992 and became the most successful film of 1992 , earning over $ 217 million in revenue in the united states , and over $ 504 million worldwide .

the film won many awards , mostly for its soundtrack .

aladdin 's success led to other material inspired by the film , including two direct-to-video sequels , the return of jafar and aladdin and the king of thieves , an animated television series of the same name , toys , video games , spin-offs , including a live-action remake directed by guy ritchie , disney merchandise , and a broadway adaptation that debuted in 2014 .

in november 1992 , the wide release of aladdin marked the start of a shift in disney’s brand of storytelling . where the studio once produced anglo - ambiguous fairy tales for u . s . audiences , for the most part , disney has spent the past couple of decades growing into a global role as the world’s premiere myth factory . slowly , but necessarily , disney has come to grips with the challenges that diversity presents in practice . aladdin was a rough stab , and a few critics , including roger ebert , knocked the film’s goofy , muddled sense of ancient arab culture upon the film’s release in 1992 . but in recent years , the company has gradually improved upon its attempts to demonstrate respect for foreign cultures .
in early visual development , aladdin resembled michael j . fox . as the film developed , jeffrey katzenberg did not think aladdin had enough appeal to women , so he asked that aladdin be beefed up a bit to resemble tom cruise .
magnussen , who played a prince in disney’s “into the woods , ” was slated to play prince anders , who was not a character in the 1992 animated version . the telegraph reported that magnussen’s character would be aladdin’s rival to winning over princess jasmine’s heart .
it took nearly 20 years for aladdin to make its way from the screen to the stage . the 1992 disney flick , which made more than $ 504 million at the box office worldwide , hit broadway in 2014 after getting its start with local productions .

after shaheen protested against the film alongside the american - arab anti - discrimination committee , disney agreed to alter the lyrics in arabian nights for aladdin ' s video release in 1993 , and defended it , as it was a rare film to feature an arab hero and heroine .
“i’d ask the animators to add benevolent market - vendors and heroic guards who befriend aladdin , ” shaheen said of the 1992 aladdin , conscious of the image of middle - eastern people that might be made on the film’s young viewers . he also asked the producers “to respect islam and to add a humane character , aladdin’s mother , an arab woman willing to sacrifice everything for her son’s happiness . ”

similar to aladdin ‘s “good teenagers” controversy , the lion king had some parents accusing disney of sending inappropriate subliminal messages to their children .
' cause - - let ' s face it , folks - - disney ' s
aladdin
was a damn - near - perfect animated film . this 1992 release from walt disney pictures was beautifully designed . it was loaded with big laughs , great songs and memorable characters . best of all , in spite of all the topical humor that ron musker & john clements crammed into
aladdin ,
the picture really hasn ' t aged a day . it ' s still as relentlessly entertaining as it was nearly a dozen years ago .
on saturday , disney announced the main cast for its live - action adaptation of the 1992 cartoon film classic aladdin . the guy ritchie–directed remake , due out in 2019 , will star the egyptian canadian actor mena massoud as aladdin , the british indian actor naomi scott as princess jasmine , and black american movie star will smith as genie . what a relief — we have thankfully dodged the prospect of prolonged , widespread disagreement over the ethnic integrity of aladdin , a children’s movie–musical that white people made about a middle eastern kingdom that doesn’t exist .
disney ' s own corporate magic lamp had grown a bit tarnished over the years . the vaunted mouse house helped to invent the long form animated film and then created one undisputed masterpiece after another , films so legendary they still resonate down the halls of film history :
in the end , he has been shown to have a strong bond with aladdin , not only saving aladdin ' s life on multiple occasions but also doing favors for him such as helping aladdin and jasmine fall in love , despite his distaste for aladdin ' s lies . in return , aladdin has said to trust him with his life ( in aladdin and the king of thieves ) .

the studio and aladdin director guy ritchie launched a global casting call in march to find the stars for the musical based on the hit 1992 animated film about a street kid who teams with a genie to woo the princess jasmine . disney , ritchie and casting director randi hiller brought on casting directors around the world , from london to egypt to abu dhabi and india , for what sources say is a massive global search : around 2 , 000 actors and actresses have read for the lead roles of jasmine and aladdin .

it takes more than wishes to make a movie like aladdin the best - grossing film in disney history , raking in $ 180 million to date . of course , critical acclaim and word of mouth have played important parts in the film’s success . yet much of that record revenue is the result of a promotional campaign with even more shapes than robin williams’ genie :

when it was first announced that disney would be moving forward with a live - action remake of mulan , fans were curious to see how the studio would proceed . concerns were raised when rumors swirled that the film might introduce a “white knight” narrative to the film , but disney quickly put a cap on those fears , promising a cast full of chinese actors and actresses .
for disney , aladdin is far more than just a film . it is a multimillion - dollar franchise - one that encompasses television and film spin - offs , rollercoaster rides , halloween costumes , and scores of trademarked toys , gadgets and other products that generate considerable revenue for the mass media and entertainment conglomerate . the live action remake , to be directed by british director
streib’s study , titled benign inequality : frames of poverty and social class inequality in children’s movies , found that the majority of characters in disney and pixar films could be called upper and upper middle class . in the real world , roughly 25 % of american children live in poverty . streib and her team highlighted a section of the 1992 film aladdin as representative of the film’s attitude to class and poverty . in one scene , the street urchin aladdin and the wealthy princess jasmine compare their lot and find themselves equally miserable . he is poor , she is unhappy because she has “people who tell you where to go and how to dress” .

, adapted from the disney film and centuries - old folktales including “one thousand and one nights , ” is brought to fresh theatrical life in this bold new musical . aladdin’s journey sweeps audiences into an exotic world of daring adventure , classic comedy and timeless romance .
in the first film , he was a bit shy when he first encountered aladdin and abu , but was curious enough to nervously fly over to investigate ; eventually hiding once aladdin first saw him or whenever abu looked over . aladdin had to coax him out of hiding , and soon , he quickly befriended aladdin and risks his own life to save him . he happily joins aladdin on his magical adventure to win the heart of jasmine . one thing he does not enjoy is how aladdin would not tell the truth about him truly being a street urchin , which was the only time he showed any annoyance towards aladdin .
disney ' s latest animated feature is a thoroughly satisfying musical - comedy romp .

phool aur patthar ( flower and rock ) is a 1966 hindi-language indian film , directed by o. p. ralhan , and written by akhtar ul iman and ehsan rizvi .

the film made dharmendra a star in the hindi film industry .

this was the movie which went on to become a golden jubilee hit catapulting dharmendra to stardom .

the movie was highest grossing for the year 1966 .

due to his rugged physique , he was also acknowledged as the he-man of the indian film industry .

in fact , a scene in the movie where he takes off his shirt to cover the ailing meena kumari was one of the highlights of the movie .

his performance in the movie ensured him a nomination in the best actor category in the filmfare awards for that year .

however , it was won by dev anand for his performance in guide .

he made his presence strongly felt despite the fact that he did not lip sync for any songs in the film .

in the 1960s , it was very unusual for the leading man not to sing any songs in a movie .

the film was also instrumental in making dharmendra-meena kumari a popular couple and they went on to act in more movies like chandan ka palna , manjhli didi and baharon ki manzil after this .

before shooting for the film , o. p. ralhan had wanted sunil dutt to don the leading role but it did not work out .

during shooting , at one point of time , dharmendra had a show-down with the film 's director o. p. ralhan since he felt that the director had an arrogant attitude and he contemplated quitting the film mid-way .

however , sense prevailed and he resumed shooting .

the film was remade in tamil as oli vilakku with m. g. ramachandran and in malayalam as puthiya velicham with jayan .

mere dil ke andar jalaati hai khanjar bacha lo mujh khush nazar se bacha lo . phool aur patthar was o . p . ralhan ' s 1966 hindi film that made dharmendra a star in the hindi film industry . it starred meena kumari along with dharmendra who played a villainous character whose inner good being is drawn out by meena kumari .
the concept of the anti - hero became a trend in indian cinema with the unusual success of the hindi film kismet ( 1943 ) produced by bombay talkies . ashok kumar played a pickpocket in the film which was probably inspired by john cromwell’s algiers ( 1938 ) . premapaasam ( tamil , 1956 ) , bhale ramudu ( telugu , 1956 ) and kanaka chilanka ( malayalam , 1966 ) were remakes of kismet . similar films with the anti - hero concept followed in various languages . o . p . ralhan’s phool aur patthar ( 1966 ) with dharmendra in the lead , and its tamil remake oli vilakku ( 1968 ) with mgr as the anti - hero were huge hits .
one of the best works of dharmendra and meena kumari . it is a shame that dharmendra never received a film fare award . phool aur pathar is evident that he could meet the class and skill level of a legend meena kumari . dharmendra starred in number of critically acclaimed and box office successes and he was one of top actors at par with some of industry ' s legends . however he is never respected the same way and reduced to an action star . dharmendra is a living legend , handsome as ever , and one of the best industry has seen .
unfortunately the review does not do justice to a super - hit movie may be because sometimes it is hard for non - indians to accept the dogmas of indian culture . look , in the 60’s , widow remarriage was not very common . so , if ralhan showed a widow moving in with a goonda , that itself was something that was way ahead of its times . granted that dharmendra had hits before , but this was his first solo - hit and this could not have been achieved without meena kumari . to give due credit to her , her image as a weepy heroine helped the movie . i do not think mala sinha or waheeda rehman or sadhana or vyjayanthi could have done this role . it was a deglamorised role and most actresses in the 60’s were too concerned with their make - up and look . the real life chemistry between the lead pair helped the movie’s success . reports say that dharmendra did not take too kindly to ralhan’s arrogance and almost walked out of the movie . meena kumari’s personal life was in shambles – almost a real life version of chotti bahu in “sahib biwi aur ghulam” . this explains why we could never see the meena of 50’s [ baiju bawra , magroor , kohinoor , yahudi , footpath , azad ] in the 60’s . she had a neighbour called janki doss and as per reports , he was the one who spread rumours about her !
after nearly a decade the same story was remade in malayalam as puthiya velicham , which was released on october 12 , 1979 . the unusual success of this action - packed film has been attributed to jayan’s performance in the negative role .
produced by subramaniam kumar for sastha productions , the film was directed by sreekumaran thampi , who also wrote the script , dialogues and lyrics . the colour film was shot at vahini , arunachalam , prakash and balaji gardens . cinematography by n . a . thara , editing by narayanan and music by salil chaudhary were commendable .
jayan , jose prakash , sankaradi , jagathi sreekumar , sreevidya , jayabharathi and meena played significant roles in the film .
the story focussed on widow remarriage pivoting around the life of a thief . circumstances force venu ( jayan ) to turn into a criminal . he falls prey to a blackmailer , johnson ( jose prakash ) who uses his hotel as a cover for all his fraudulent activities . venu is in love with lilly ( jayabharathi ) a dancer in this hotel .
venu then meets lakshmi ( sreevidya ) in a mansion which he breaks into . a widow , lakshmi has been locked up inside the mansion by her husband’s parents . suffering from typhoid , lakshmi is looked after by venu . timely medical care saves her life and she leaves the mansion .
lakshmi’s in - laws , panicker ( sankaradi ) and maheswari ( meena ) return from madras and find that their house has been looted . lakshmi is accused of the crime . she is beaten up and her brother - in - law balan ( vijay raj ) attempts to molest her . venu reaches in time to save lakshmi . and when she is thrown out of the house venu gives her refuge . lakshmi succeeds in reforming venu . he begins to work as a labourer and promises lakshmi that he would never go back to his criminal ways .
in his attempt to save a young girl from fire venu sustains severe burn injuries . lakshmi’s loving care brings him back to full health .
now , johnson sets a trap to bring venu back to his fold . he sends his men to lakshmi with the false news that venu is injured in an accident . lakshmi rushes to meet venu but is accosted by johsnon who attempts to rape her . she is saved by the timely intervention of lilly . in the ensuing fight , lilly is shot dead by johnson . the police appear on the scene and arrest johnson . the film ends with the marriage of venu and lakshmi .
the film made full use of jayan’s macho image putting him through numerous fight sequences . sreevidya also did well in her role .
deviating from his usual character roles , thikkurissi sukumaran nair as lohithaksha bhagavathar did full justice to his comic role . jagathy sreekumar as a pick pocket , ‘parippuvada’ kuttappan , sreelatha as his lover and poojappura ravi as a doctor created moments of laughter .
the songs written by sreekumaran thampi and set to tune by salil chaudhary became hits . most of them were repetitions of his bengali film and non film tunes . jhil jhil jhil chilampanangi … . ( p . jayachandran - p . susheela ) was a direct copy of the tune that he used for the bengali film pasher bari ( 1953 ) . other songs like aaraattu kadavil … ( jayachandran ) , aaraaro swapnajalakam … ( ambili ) , manasse nin ponnambalam … . ( s . janaki ) , poovirinjallo athil … ( k . j . yesudas ) turned very popular .
will be remembered : a a good entertainer with a message on widow re - marriage ; for jayan’s performance and for its songs .

i’m on a dharmendra or dog co - star kick this week apparently . this movie has both !
it’s oodles of good masala fun , despite the unfortunate presence of a weepy and sanctimonious meena kumari . i know she and dharmendra carried on a real - life affair for awhile , but it’s a thanda jodi onscreen for sure . she was really beautiful and fun in the 50’s ; i don’t know how she became so maudlin in the 60’s . however ! ! ! the film is saved by the presence of numerous character actors in all their glory ( and occasionally in drag ) , beautiful songs by ravi and the aforementioned dharmendra and famous dog bhairon . fun for everyone !
i’ve decided that another reason i love hindi movies is because all the people in them show up over and over for decades and become like family .
shaka ( dharmendra ) has been a criminal from his orphaned childhood : in and out of jail , familiar with the police in his town , and the object of scorn and insults from the people he lives among . he works for “boss” ( madan puri in a red wig ) , who owns a hotel ; and he is loved by bad girl rita ( shashikala in a platinum blonde wig ) , a dancer at the same hotel .
i must note here that in spite of numerous fashion don’ts , shashikala is quite wonderful . she’s yet another actress whose lack of stardom i don’t understand . and the music by ravi is just fabulous , especially if you are a big fan of the “indian twist” like i am .
boss has a new target for shaka , the zamindar of a nearby town named jeevan lal ( jeevan ) . he is very rich , but so kanjus that he refuses to put his wealth in the bank , but keeps it in the house where he can maintain a close eye on it .
on the way to jeevan’s village shaka meets an old friend ( from jail no doubt ) sadakram ( played by director op ralhan ) and his gang of pickpockets working a crowd . one of them is ram avtar ( most famous as the fat guy laughing uncontrollably on the train at the start of teesri manzil ) . i love him . he is just so…fat !
sadakram tells shaka that jeevan’s town is infested with the plague ( another theme i encountered recently , in dhoop chhaon ! ) . the inhabitants have all fled , leaving their homes ripe for the picking . shaka is pleased to hear this : his job will be easy .
he reaches the deserted village and goes into jeevan lal’s house . sadly , jeevan and his family have taken all their valuables with them . but—they’ve left their widowed daughter - in - law shanti ( meena kumari ) , who is bedridden and ill , to die . they haven’t even left her with any water . of course , she’s not one to complain .
shaka takes pity on her and forces the neighboring town’s doctor ( sundar ) to treat her . shanti slowly gets better . when the plague ends and jeevan , his wife ( lalita pawar ) and son kalicharan ( ram mohan ) return to find her alive , kalicharan attempts to rape her . shaka returns just in time to save her , and takes her home with him . she has come to represent something to him .
i don’t know that i could stand her weeping and self - pity , but maybe i am one of those worse people .
she moves into his house , and of course asks him for a krishna murti that she can pray to . she cleans up the place , too . and finally stops crying ! but only for a minute : the prying and curious neighbors unfortunately don’t treat her any better than they do shaka .
meanwhile , back at jeevan lal’s , a lawyer for shanti’s uncle has shown up . the uncle has died and left her 6 lakhs in his will , but the lawyer will only deliver the papers to shanti herself .
they tell him that she’s gone on a pilgrimage , and then come up with a plan . they bury their wealth ( which appears to consist mostly of large pieces of gold jewelry ) in the back yard , and then call the police to report that they have been robbed and shanti has been kidnapped .
their plotting is overheard by the doctor , though , and he steals the jewelry from the yard and gives it to his wife ( the one and only tun tun ) .
she is probably the only woman large enough to carry off wearing it all at once ! shaka’s friend sadakram is passing by , though , and manages to steal a bangle off her wrist .
when shaka finds out that the townspeople taunted shanti , he beats up one of them . she gets angry at him ( and she already disapproves of his profession ) . he tells her about his sad childhood , how he was forced to steal in order to eat , and then he starts crying .
at this point i am fed up with both of them and decide that shaka falling in love with shanti is just not believable , and i stop caring much about the plot . if you want to know more you’ll have to watch it .
dharmendra saves a little girl from a burning house , thus redeeming himself in the eyes of his neighbors . they love him now . yay ! ( and he comes out unscarred and still beautiful ) :
posted on april 23 , 2008 at 4 : 07 pm in hindi movies | rss feed you can skip to the end and leave a reply .
umm , wow . that was quite an ambiguous review . still seems fun though , especially since it has hijras in it .
i think it was dharmendra’s first hit . the two went on to make several forgettable films after that . i was always under the impression that the movie was b & w – guess the tv channels show it in b & w to make it a “classic” !
not really . this was the movie that made dharmendra a star . however , he did have hits like haqeeqat ( 1964 ) , kaajal ( 1965 ) , aaye milan ki bela ( 1964 ) and others before this .
i really want to see this – and not just for dharmendra – the english subtitles look really funny , and i always enjoy that . and the songs look like good fun too – especially the one with the crooks in drag .
yes , it was all good except for meena and her constant weeping : - ) i really loved the songs but can’t find them anywhere…might have to resort to extracting them from the dvd .
i wonder how bhairon got famous - and where he was famous at – rofl .
iftekhar had maybe two lines in this film , and did some standing around but not much else .
manmohan krishna makes me think of one of snow white’s dwarves or something . he’s just so cute . love those eyes . he usually is a kindly character too .
excellent images here memsaab ! eventually i will see it . i especially agreed with youre statement here : “i’ve decided that another reason i love hindi movies is because all the people in them show up over and over for decades and become like family . ”
or maybe they used a dummy…although i don’t think so . looked pretty real , and i don’t think animal safety was a big concern back then…i prefer not to think about it : - )
don’t you watch the latest bollywood movies like krazzy4 , om shanti om , etc . ? the latest ones are completely different and you will like them too .
some of them make you cringe . watching some of new film with young kids ? nah ! it shows unnecessary skin & smooching .
hey…… quick question… . how do you get such fantastic stills from the vids you watch ? i have tried everything… but they are so poor , that half the fun is gone . . do let me know . . thanks
i play the dvd on my mac and use a dashboard app to capture them ( screenshot ) , then resize them in photoshop ( any image editing application would do , though ) …i do spend time making sure the picture is as clear as it can be before i screen cap it too .
i just watched this film 2 nites ago on dvd . i enjoyed it , but you could be right about meena kumari in this one . all the supporting actors were great , manmohan krishna cuddly as ever , iftekhar ( what can be said about him ) & shashikala like ive never seen her before . i went around the house twisting all the next day .
poor meena . i just find her so hard to take in the 60s . she was beautiful and scintillating in the 50s before heartbreak and alcohol did her in though .
and i really liked this film , except for the whole weepy thing . shashikala was awesome and bhairon the dog too : - )
im thrilled to have found your website . i have loved hindi films for most of my life & i have a dvd collection of over 150 films from 1948 to 1980 . i will need to spend so much time on this site & im very excited about it . ive only had my computer for 2 months & i look forward to being able to share my feelings & opinions on these films & actors & songs with others . i not only love these films , i am in love with them .
i must say i find this site pretty interesting too and am so glad to have found people watching and actually discussing these old films . like eva , i too , am in love with hindi films ( and the old songs ) even when they’re silly ( i like that too ) . true about meena k being a tragey queen with too much tears but i haven’t this film yet – pakeeza is one of my absolute favourite ones , it’s awesome and raaj kumar very attractive in it .
“shashikala is quite wonderful . she’s yet another actress whose lack of stardom i don’t understand . ”
she didn’t understand that herself . she had to play even mala sinha’s mother ( or in - law ) in paisa ya pyar . she was just great in sujata and anupama . i remembered reading the paisa ya pyaar incident somewhere . she started crying at the sets , whereupon dadamoni console dher and said “look at me , i’ve played mala sinha’s hero and now i play her father’s role” .
meena kumari in the 60’s played only herself or atleast her projection of herself . the nadir of this evolution line is i think in chandan ka palna . just obnoxious !
it is great fun to read your review immediately after seeing a movie because the film is fresh in your mind and you get a “memsaab take” on the film which you can immediately relate to the film .
agree with your review to a large extent . except that i am so used to meena kumari in her weepy roles that it did not surprise or bother me too much here .
shashikala was fabulous . i readily join the group of “puzzled fans who never shashikala not becoming a bigger star” .
you have not said much about dharam here . to be honest , he looked a bit old and tired to me . and even looked like he had put on weight . this was 1966 – he should have looked young and fresh . i have seen later movies of his where he looks younger and fitter . maybe he needed a hema or sharmila or asha pairing to bring out some freshness in him .
all in all , i liked the movie . had heard a lot about it – now i have seen it .
in fact for his performance , he was nominated in the filmfare best actor category . however , dev anand won it ( and rightfuly ) for guide ( 1966 ) .
i liked it too , but truthfully just wanted to give meena a tight slap . self - inflicted misery is intolerable to me , and she needed it . dharam was fine , but he spent too much time with her and i preferred all the other good stuff going on . : ) he probably looked old and tired because he was dealing with meena both on and off - screen ! i’ve said it often on here , but i find her so sad…she was so gorgeous and lively in the 50s , and i hate to watch what happened to her .
slap * her * ? not the people around her who were mistreating meena kumari and were causing her misery ( in the movie , that is ) ? it’s not like she cried for fun in the movie . i can understand you wanting a more proactive heroine , but your frustration is misplaced . it’s cruel and callous to take your anger out on the victim rather than those around her who deserve it .
i just watched this one this afternoon , and completely agree with you about mena kumari’s incessant weeping . there was something touching about shanti and shaka that made some of the more lugubrious stuff bearable for me . the crook reformed by the love of a good woman–a favorite plot , so perhaps i am too generous . they were a real life couple for a while ? hard to imagine . especially since she looks older than him due to the ravages of her illness . as always , thanks for naming the character actors–but which dancer is saroj khan ? shashikala’s outfits were super hideous , and not in a good way , although the white chiffon she wore in the drinking song is a bit enviable .
dharmendra by himself can pretty much make up for anything in my book : - ) shashikala’s blonde hair made my head spin . i loved her outfits—they were eye popping 8 - d
ok , i have to ask , this is the movie where dharmendra takes off his shirt for the first time . it is supposed to be the most sensual moment in the movie and in bollywoodom in general . i saw a clip of this from the dharmendra biography on youtube urltoken and maybe there is some context i am missing but him covering up meena with a blanket is supposed to be sensual ? ?
wow , shashikala looks really different in this . i think she didn’t become a leading lady because she was type - cast as the mean sister - in - law ( i . e . aarthi ) in a lot of her movies . that’s a hard image to escape .
despite her steady decline in the 60’s , you have got to credit her for the success of movies like pakeezah , dushman , a jeetendra starrer & the legendary gulzar classic – mere apne before she passed away into a zone that offered her eternal peace from all prying eyes .
if you look at the movie chandan ka palna , it becomes clear that she would not live long . heavy drinking had already taken a toll on her . it is so sad that she died in penury and only good souls like nargis and sunil dutt helped in performing her last rites .
shashikala too had a disastrous personal life , poor lady , she suffered a lot in life and you know that for you to succeed in bollywood , you have to compromise a lot , fight hard to change your image and network aggressively .
but the truth is that this was a big hit in the 60’s and though this melodrama may not be watchable today due to changing times , it at least had a progressive streak in its screen play .
to be fair , it’s sometimes hard for south asians as well , particularly the ones in the western countries . thankfully , the movies of today are moving away from sati - savitri tragedy and pity ( well , for the most part ) . your balanced , informed comment is appreciated though . it gives the movie more perspective . : )
the best thing about this movie was meena kumari’s performance . dharam was a horrible actor . this movie was a hit because of meenas performance .

this is the film which earned the famous
he man
title for dharmendra .
in attempt to rob a house , shaka comes across shanti , who is unwell and has been abandoned by her in - laws . shaka brings her back to good health but soon her family returns hatching a plot to get her back when they find out that she has been left a legacy .
a noteworthy potboiler depicting a forbidden liaison between a widow ( meena kumari ) and a petty criminal ( dharmendra ) . the sequence in which dharmendra crept up to the supine heroine in a shirtless , drunken stupor had audiences whistling in delight . the screenplay blended the elements of a typical entertainer with a strong social comment on widow remarriage . the assertive vamp ( shashikala ) provided a persuasive counterpoint to the chaste and inviolable widow . it was by far the most fruitful collaborative effort of dharmendra and meena kumari during their much talked - about friendship in the 1960s .
