sakthi formulates a plan along with kundalakesi andhis friend madhi ( vivek ) . they plan to create some problem during their families meet , so that the wedding will be cancelled . on the day of meeting , sakthi and his side kicks try so many things to disturb the gathering but all goes in vain .
finally sakthi falsely accuses that bride’s family members speak ill about sakthi’s family which bring about heated argument . in between the argument , sakthi hits the bride’s father to blow up the problem but is shocked to see indhu over there dressed up as the bride . only then sakthi realizes that the bride is none other than indhu and feels bad that he has spoiled the event .

finally sakthi convinces both his father and indhu’s father and their wedding is arranged . a few hilarious events happen when everyone ( madhan bob , anju and s . s . chandran ) attends the wedding misunderstanding sakthi as a cheat . everything is sorted out when the girls involved open up the truth to everyone and in the end sakthi unites with indhu .

the film is hilarious on some occasions , but is also uncomfortably vulgar during others
and also noted
but the film has a little something few films have today ! it will make you laugh till your tummy aches , if you are willing to laugh along

sundar c . has tried to prove me wrong . but unfortunately , while he has gotten the
full - length
part right , he has failed in the
comedy
part with a distinctly unfunny movie where the laughs per minute ratio is way too low for me to recommend even renting the movie

savaged by the critics in 1973 , this version of lost horizon — a musical , no less ! — was considered by some to be one of the worst films of all time , and everyone connected to the project tried to disown it . yet over the years , people have discovered and loved this film despite being told they should hate it .

it’s not my intention to turn this blog into a celebration of the worst that cinema has to offer ( although there are those who would say i already have ) , but the recent dvd release of the notorious 1973 mega - flop , lost horizon , is an event of considerable note . a cause for celebration , if you will , for both lovers of entertainingly bad cinema ( yours truly ) , and those who have come to regard lost horizon as an underappreciated classic .

although i am very fond of lost horizon and have seen it many times , i don ' t number myself among those who actually think it’s a good film . i like it because of the nostalgia it invokes ( the pro - lost horizon cult is comprised chiefly of individuals who saw it as children . bless their undiscerning little hearts ) ; my love of burt bacharach ; and because i have a decided taste for cheese . lost horizon is a banquet of tacky aesthetics , risible dialog , awkward performances , wince - inducing lyrics , and moldy choreography . and i wouldn ' t have it any other way . movies this wrong - headed are just too much fun .
lost horizon ( 1937 ) is a timeless , widely - acclaimed classic - a romantic fantasy and science - fiction adventure film , produced and directed by frank capra for columbia pictures . the film was faithfully adapted by screenwriter robert riskin from james hilton ' s best - selling 1933 novel of the same name . the story was inspired by real - life mountaineer george leigh - mallory , who was lost during a fatal climb of mount everest in 1924 .
now , for the first time since that calamitous opening week in 1973 , the curious and devout alike can witness lost horizon in all its fully restored , digitally enhanced , wide - screen splendor , with all but one of its five deleted musical numbers reinstated ( a brief sally kellerman / george kennedy reprise of
living together , growing together
is still mia ) . sure , the recovery of lost footage from lost horizon is a bit like a bizarro world reenactment of the restorations of stroheim ' s greed or lang ' s metropolis ; but it’s rare for a studio to treat one of its money - losing embarrassments with such respect .
please show lost horizon ( 1972 ) . it ' s been about 12 years since i last saw it . enjoy the music of burt bacharach . like singing along with the actors . . . .
but besides that , i think the biggest problem was that 1973 was just a bad time for a musical with the sort of message that “lost horizon” was putting forth : the world is terrible and the only good place is somewhere you can never reach ! remember , we’re talking about the cynical days of watergate and a new found distrust in how government worked , maybe for the first time in us history by the masses . on that point alone , “lost horizon” was working against itself before the cameras even started rolling . that’s an element that can’t be underestimated .
lost horizon , james hilton’s paean to peace and spiritual life everlasting in a magical land called shangri - la , was first adapted to film by frank capra in 1937 . thirty - five years later , mor pop sensations burt bacharach and hal david were hired by producer ross hunter to score this big - budget , semi all - star , musical remake . alas , lost horizon fell prey to the prevailing twisted logic of the day which held that what modern musicals needed most was dramatic talent , so , columbia pictures , not having learned its lesson from camelot ( whose revamped set serves a shangri - la’s lamasery ) , populated lost horizon with a cast of dramatic actors who could neither sing nor dance .
just one asian actor was employed in a major role , yet that was an improvement over the 1937 film . in 1937 few cared — except perhaps asians who might have liked an opportunity in the film industry . in 1973 , critics were offended that any non - asian actor was cast to play an asian .
sony pictures home entertainment has officially announced that it will release on blu - ray director frank capra ' s film lost horizon ( 1937 ) , starring edward everett horton , jane wyatt , sam jaffe , thomas mitchell , and ronald colman . the release will be available for purchase on october 3 .
in 2016 , the film was selected for inclusion in the united states national film registry by the library of congress as being
culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant .
originally released in 1937 , the film also nominated for seven academy awards .
yet against all odds , lost horizon is finally arriving on dvd on october 4 courtesy of columbia pictures’ mod ( made on demand ) dvd - r program . but this won’t be a bare - bones release ; the studio is promising that it will be “packed with extras” and fully remastered ; in other words , the kind of treatment usually reserved for a classic , cult or otherwise . if the time hasn’t come and likely won’t for lost horizon to be reappraised as a cinematic masterpiece , we can still appreciate it without irony for its one unmistakably terrific element : its music by burt bacharach . today’s friday feature celebrates the music of lost horizon .

wrong . i found the 1937 version of lost horizon to be inferior on every point of comparison . the story is the same — even much of the dialog is the same — but the earlier film suffers from worse production values on every measure . this amazed me . how could the classic be worse than the

?
the saga of lost horizon began in 1933 with james hilton’s novel , imagining an idyllic shangri - la tucked away in a tibetan valley where illness , age and poverty are unknown . one year later , after the success of hilton’s goodbye , mr . chips , readers discovered lost horizon , and it became a bestseller . in 1937 , frank capra adapted it into a well - regarded film version starring ronald colman , which won two academy awards out of seven nominations , and in 1939 the paperback edition of the original hilton novel became pocket book no . 1 . both the novel and capra’s film can be interpreted as explicitly anti - war ; when a 1942 re - release of the film cut one of colman’s speeches in which he mocked war , capra balked .

we were told not to like the movie by the critics . they lambasted the picture with a preconceived grudge against ross hunter ( even pauline kael of the new yorker began her review with a repulsed reaction to ross hunter on a tv talk show , calling him mr . bland ) . once the negativity foisted upon us by the press thankfully subsided , we were left with the film–which is pretty wonderful . campy , yes , silly , maybe , but meticulously designed and crafted for commercial enjoyment . viva 1973’s “lost horizon” !

the film is often cited as a case of movie - making excess . after the record - breaking success of the sound of music in the early 1960s , hollywood had been trying to repeat the formula for years , hoping lightning would strike again . by 1973 , many thought the movie musical was dead , especially as members of the 1960s youth movement piled contempt on their parents ' music . that didn ' t stop producer ross hunter from trying with lost horizon . many , in retrospect , wondered what he was thinking .
lost horizon ‘s march 1973 premiere was such a big deal in hollywood that governor ronald reagan was persuaded to return to his roots to attend , and the picture was selected for a royal command performance in the united kingdom . but it was quickly savaged by the critical community , with pauline kael and judith crist among its many vocal detractors . its camp excesses couldn’t help but leave most cold , but it inspired bette midler’s oft - quoted quip , “i never miss a liv ullmann musical ! ” john simon , the famously acidic critic of both stage and screen , commented that lost horizon “must have arrived in garbage rather than in film cans . ” the folks at urltoken may have put it best , though , and most accurately : “ lost horizon is not the jaw - dropping catastrophe that many people insist it is , nor is it the camp classic that generates therapeutic cynicism for its audience . it is actually more of a sincere but inert bore , a good idea that went nowhere strictly because it lacked the imagination to fly . ”
i was in one of those rare moods to revisit a renowned cinematic turkey that i saw during its original release when i was a kid . sometimes the years are kind to such movies , and a reconsideration brings a new appreciation . there wasn’t much that i could recall about the 1973 musical remake of lost horizon . after watching it again , i realized that the trauma of seeing it the first time must have resulted in amnesia .
really ? this is 35 years of film progress ? : above , shangri - la envisioned as a streamline moderne paradise in the1937 film ; below , shangri - la as a las vegas theme hotel .
for decades , sony pictures refused to release the 1973 film lost horizon , despite considerable demand by the public . then , late in 2012 , the studio bowed to public pressure . ( you can link to urltoken here . there ' s also a blu - ray version . ) the story is about a group of westerners whose plane crashes in the mountains of tibet . there they are rescued by monks from shangri - la , a remote valley where there ' s no illness , greed , hunger , or war… and people live to incredible ages .
along with an unflattering wardrobe , liv ullmann is saddled with a terrible dubbed singing voice in lost horizon . to hear what her real singing voice is like ( metered shouting , actually ) , check out this clip of ullmann performing in the 1979 broadway musical i remember mama
hey joe , thanks for reading and for sharing this information ! i’d also be remiss if i didn’t thank you ( however belatedly ! ) for your wonderful work on the laserdisc , which has really done such a great part in keeping the music of lost horizon alive .
this is the true diamond of the film world ! i have loved this film since the first time i saw it all those years ago . it has stayed with me throughout my life , i am 37 .
your article is quite informative . i didn’t know that there had been an earlier broadway musical version of “lost horizon” in the ’50s , for instance . in my opinion , i think that the pooh - pooh naysayers who hated hunter’s film version of “lost horizon” at the time it came out were being quite unfair . of course , it’s not the greatest film ever , but it’s not as bad as they made it out to be either . i am prejudiced about the music , however , because for me , bacharach can do no wrong . i like everything that he has written , unconditionally . i even accept his stupidly horrendous “the blob” ? that’s what kind of fan i am . i mean , come on , everything an aritist does can’t be a masterpiece ! i am a creative artist myself , and we all have hits and misses . but i do like the songs in “lost horizon . ” i have “if i could go back” in my repertoire , in fact . i am a professional singer , too , among other things .
hi clifford . now , what you wrote is exactly what i find stimulating about film discussion ! you offer insight into your personal experience of the film that illuminates for me your perspective and illustrates how terrifically personal the cinema experience can be . trust me , as a fan of 1980 ' s
xanadu
, i ' m no stranger to seeing a film i ' ve always loved dragged through the gutter online . . . but i really get a charge ( a quite a few laughs ) reading about how deeply some people hate a film that has only made me happy . the points you bring up about
lost horizon
are points well - taken , well - observed , and intelligent , and i ' m sure there are many who feel the same way . that you show some objectivity and are aware of the film ' s flaws yet still love it , speaks to what i try to call attention to in my posts : that no film is flawless , and that the enjoyment of cinema is not confined to the oscar winners and
prestige
films . if a film ( any film ) touches or inspires you . . . in my book , that is a successful film . thanks very much for sharing your opposing voice on a much - maligned film . it was actually refreshing to read a differing point of view !
hal david’s lyrics expressed a sentiment shared by many of the optimistic generation who hadn’t yet felt their ideals vanquished by the reality of vietnam and growing dissension under the white house of president richard m . nixon . david’s words were captivatingly sung by folk artist shawn phillips , signed at the time to the a & m label , and set to a haunting melody from burt bacharach that’s removed from both the exuberance of “i say a little prayer” and the soul of “walk on by . ” bacharach and david composed the song for producer ross hunter’s 1973 motion picture lost horizon , described at its release by the new york times’ vincent canby as a “big , stale marshmallow . ” canby continued to call out the film’s “surprisingly tacky…appearance , ” asserting that “the second rate auspices just about destroys everyone in the film , with the possible exceptions of [ peter ] finch , [ bobby ] van and michael york . ” and canby was one of the kinder critics . lost horizon became one of the costliest flops and most notorious disasters in film history . what happened ? where did it go wrong ?

to promote lost horizon , ross hunter—the comb - overed , leisure - suited , closeted - gay producer ( his 40 - years lifetime partner was frequent co - producer jacque mapes ) responsible for the tammy films , douglas sirk , and those rock hudson / doris day comedies—appeared in a flurry of self - congratulatory , back - slapping , print and television publicity declaring how proud he was of lost horizon , and how ( in a subtle slap in the face to the new permissiveness in films ) his musical was to be a return to the wholesome family films of yesteryear .
thanks , jeremy for your comment and compliment . alas , my knowledge of entertainment is second , third , and fourth to many , i ' m afraid . but it makes me happy that you enjoyed reading about
lost horizon
. if you have the stomach for it , i hope you check out the restored version . it ' s a hoot , and in an odd way , an improvement . as for ullmann singing on broadway . . . after her experience with
lost horizon
the woman is either the bravest or most foolhardy person on the planet !
camp as a row of pink tents , but very enjoyable film on a beautiful region b blu - ray .
robert conway ( ronald colman ) and fellow crash survivors ( thomas mitchell , edward everett horton , john howard and isabel jewell ) are led into shangri - la by chang ( h . b . warner ) in frank capra ' s lost horizon , 1937 , from the james hilton novel .
there ' s also the 1937 frank capra version starring ronald colman , considered to be a classic . if the 1973
turkey
was bad , the venerable classic version had to be better , right ?
fully restored in 4k and presented in high definition , the blu - ray is housed within a lavish , limited edition 24 - page digibook , complete with an all - new essay from film historian jeremy arnold and rare archival photos from the film . in addition , as part of the restoration , more than a minute of rarely - seen original footage from the film was found and included , making this the most complete cut of the film in existence .

when this movie was shown in 1973 i was still in high school and about 16 years old . i loved the movie , the theme , the way it was done and presented . the cast played well .
stock footage : a few shots of snowy mountain peaks from a documentary were used to make this film more realistic .
news item , germany banned the film because it
offends our most sacred feelings and also our artistic souls .
lost world : the high mountains all around mean that no one ever goes to shangri - la except the porters that visit once every few years .
news item states that the film had a premiere in manila on the same day it opened in new york . although some contemporary sources list morris stoloff as the musical director , the film credits max steiner , and a march 17 , 1938
secondary adaptation : while it ' s officially credited as an adaptation of the novel , it ' s self - evidently a musical remake of the 1937 film , including importing the canon foreigners that were added to that film with some minor changes .

for the 1973 film , the filmmakers wanted toshiro mifune , the leading actor in japan and an international star , known for roshomon , among other great films . because of scheduling conflicts , mifune couldn ' t take the role . the producers went with a backup plan , casting the great english actor sir john gielgud in heavy makeup . in the film he speaks with his familiar english accent , but chang is supposed to have been educated at oxford before returning to shangri - la .
the musical remakes of both
lost horizon
and
goodbye , mr . chips
might explain away why remakes of classics are usually duds . the biggest part of the problem is that several of the leads cannot sing and are terrible - - making possible decent songs sound horrible - - especially liv ullman , an usually reliable and talented actress , and peter finch . ( the same could also be said of peter o ' toole in
chips
. ) that said ,
lost horizon
does have some really delightful pieces - - especially the haunting title track which takes the place of the prologue from the original frank capra film , which is a classic , and
living together , growing together
a truly wonderful song about the strenghts of family living . so buyer beware ! there is some good stuff here , but it has a few songs that you scream ouch ! ! ! ! ! by the way , if you ae looking for an excellent film of this book / film story try the capra version .
in the 1937 film , it is caused by the porters playfully fooling around with the brothers ' guns and shooting them off .
boasting great production values , frank capra ' s film is still one of the most cherished fables made during the depression era .
, worked on the screenplay of this film without receiving credit . on september 15 , 1941 , ronald colman and donald crisp performed
appear to be based on both hilton ' s book and capra ' s film . they are : a 1956 broadway musical entitled
in the end , you can ' t enjoy this film if you look at it unkindly . the most important rule of shangri - la — the only rule , it turns out , that matters — is
be kind .
looking kindly at the 1973 film lets it come to life . this was no shoddy , cynical attempt to make a quick buck by packaging buddhist sayings like fortune cookies . it was a product of many talented people working very hard and doing some fine work .
, with music by harry warren , book and lyrics by jerome lawrence , robert e . lee and james hilton , and starring dennis king and carol lawrence ; a 1960 hallmark hall of fame television broadcast of the stage production , starring richard basehart and marisa pavan ; and the 1973 columbia musical film , directed by charles jarrott and starring peter finch and liv ullman .
bowdlerize : one of the reasons that the film now exists in mostly complete form was due to the studio reissuing the film in periods where some elements would be considered controversial . the first re - release was in 1942 , and the anti - war elements were toned down for wwii - era audiences . 10 years later , the film was reissued again , though since it was at the height of the red scare , the studio eliminated anything that would give the illusion that the film was
pro - communist .
this “lost horizon , ” with peter finch at the head of a not‐quite‐all‐star cast , is a big , stale marshmallow , notable , perhaps , in that most of it was filmed in and around hollywood at what is reported to have been a rather large budget . money apparently doesn ' t go very far in hollywood these days , for the film , in addition to packing all of the dramatic punch of a moral re‐armament pamphlet , is surprisingly tacky in appearance .
it actually sounds to me like this needs one more rendition , and this time as a biting philosophical critique of utopianism and progressivism… even a black comedy… or , for that matter , even a black comedy musical that centers around all the logical contradictions inherent in most models of utopia . if they’ve got the sneering nerve to make a mocking musical out of the disco film xanadu , which sported one of the best soundtracks ever , then they can make another lost horizon .
let’s be honest . “lost horizon , ” the 1973 movie musical , really can’t be considered a “masterpiece , ” no matter how you spin it . it seems like it was a concept that was put together on the run and not fully fleshed out before production started , which is clearly where the trouble began . the casting was abominable , especially considering that pretty much everyone in the cast were going to sing burt bacharach songs ( challenging , even for accomplished vocalists ) . but george kennedy and peter finch as “singers ? ” there is suspending disbelief and then , there’s this !
hal david later reflected with candor , “ lost horizon was a film that just didn’t work . and the score suffered because of it , in my opinion , ” though he acknowledged , “i think we did some beautiful things for it . ‘where knowledge ends , faith begins’ is a song i always loved . ‘the world is a circle’ is becoming a little bit of a standard…but if the picture doesn’t work , nothing works . ” bacharach agreed : “there are some good songs that came out of lost horizon . ‘if i could go back’ is a pretty terrific song . ‘living together’ is okay . ‘the world is a circle’ – that’s a good one . on their own , these songs were very good , but when you saw the movie…if you have a dog picture , the songs are not gonna fly . ”
have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all where the air you breathe is soft and clean and children play in fields of green and the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears ( anymore ) have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all where the winter winds will never blow and living things have room to grow and the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears anymore . many miles from yesterday before you reach tomorrow where the time is always just today there ' s a lost horizon waiting to be found . there ' s a lost horizon where the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears anymore .
not to everyones taste but i thought it was very good . i wish i could get a dvd of the hal david film .
i will definitely be buying this ! for years , only the cut version was aviailable , called lost horizon of shangri - la , until finally , in 1986 , a restored version was shown theatrically , then released to dvd , with about 30 mins . added , though some of the scenes were stills , accompanied by the still existing soundtrack .
thanks clifford for reading the post and commenting on
lost horizon .
i like that you sincerely seem to enjoy a film that i love exclusively for its flaws . but isn ' t that the point behind the song
the world a circle
? taking a cue from another one of the bacharach / david songs from
lost horizon
:
different people look at life from different points of view .
the experience of film is a subjective one . there isn ' t a film made , no matter how excellent , that doesn ' t have its champions and its detractors . that ' s the way it should be . if i hold the opinion that a film is lousy or good , it ' s just that . my opinion . i don ' t insist that it ' s the only opinion or that it ' s even right . . . but i defend it as being authentically my experience of a film , and therefore not a subject for debate . if someone wants to share their opposing view , i love that . it ' s fun to learn how different audience response can be to the same film . it ' s illuminating of the moviegoing experience . but differing views isn ' t a effort to convince one another of a position taken . . . it ' s the sharing of the uniquely personal points of view of the viewers . no more , no less . when i write that the dubbed voice for liv ullman is artificial and disembodied ( which it is , to me ) i ' m not insisting that you find it to be so , i ' m expressing my opinion . you can say otherwise , but you can ' t say that i ' m wrong if i don ' t agree with you . it sounds like you enjoy
lost horizon
a lot , but in the spirit of the film ' s theme , i think it ' s totally wonderful that we live in world where some people can think this is a terrible film and some people really love it and that both opinions are ok . that feels like shangri - la to me .

when the negative of the 1937 film was restored in the seventies , it was decayed so badly that seven minutes could not be salvaged . however , an intact soundtrack was found . the film as it exists today uses still pictures along with dialogue to illustrate those seven minutes .
and twilight time ' s superb new blu - ray affords viewers a chance to experience the film in the best possible light . the high - def transfer and the 5 . 1 audio are excellent . it ' s also the complete 150 - minute cut of the film ,

hello poseidon thanks very much for reading my post . i am glad to finally chuck my old tv - taped vhs of
lost horizon
too . i can ' t wait until you post about the film on your site . there are not enough good posts about the film online and you seem to have a library of backstory and little known facts about every film you cover . sorry about the id thing , which seems unique to my site . for the record , someone told me that if you disable the
stay signed in
box on the google account page , your id comes through ( why ? i have no idea but it worked when i went to your site ) . i ' ll be keeping an eye out for your poseidon ' s underworld site .
the rest of the 1973 cast is rounded out by george kennedy , olivia hussey ( who played juliet in a famous film version of the shakespeare play ) , sally kellerman , song - and - dance man bobby van , and michael york , whose performances all hold up today . kennedy is particularly sympathetic as a former billionaire on the run , who got blamed for everything when his company tanked .
if you ' re going to criticize musicals for their artificiality , you can certainly criticize lost horizon . in the song
the world is a circle ,
there ' s a clumsy moment that still makes me shake my head : liv ullman lifts a kid in the air while he sings
whoa–oo–oo–oo…
this happens at 1 : 10 in the following clip .
thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment , jaime ! i ' m glad you enjoyed the post and that you are a fan of the good / bad
lost horizon
. had i seen this film as a child , i would very likely have fallen in love with it . seeing it as an adult has its pleasures , but mostly of the unintentionally comic side . and yes , i wish i had devoted more time into talking about michael york and some of the others . however , it ' s very easy to get carried away picking apart a film like this . i tried to exercise a little restraint and keep the piece under 7000 words . : - ) thanks again for sharing your own history with this film paired with
jaws
? what a double feature !
although this long - awaited dvd may be enough for connoisseurs of both lost musicals and classic pop , we’d really be in shangri - la if an expanded , complete soundtrack recording would follow . ( with the soundtrack controlled by sony music through arista , bell’s successor , and the film itself owned by columbia pictures , another sony unit , perhaps that isn’t completely implausible . bacharach’s orchestral underscore is too good to remain languishing in a vault ! are our film score label friends reading this ? hint , hint… ) and a dvd release of the television special burt bacharach in shangri - la , guest - starring bobby van , richard harris and the 5 th dimension would be welcome , too ! alas , that’s for another day and another column . in the meantime , don’t be frightened away from exploring the singular monument of cult cinema that is ross hunter’s lost horizon .
