The way I watch old films is like this – a) it’s nostalgia – I’ve watched this before, and I come across it again when I’ve nothing else to do b) I’ve heard of the film but have never watched it, and either YouTube throws it up on the sidebar piquing my curiosity, or one of my fellow-bloggers posts a review recommending it, or c) I – as bollyviewer once put it – follow a great song into a bad movie.
This post is a result of option C. It was Shamshad Begum’s ‘Saiyyan dil mein aana re’ that caused my downfall. I love the song, and since Bahar was Vyjayanthimala’s debut in Hindi (she reprised her role from the Tamil original Vaazhkai), and I really like Vyjayanthimala, I actually went looking for the film. Much to my dismay – in hindsight – I found it. Before I get to what I thought about it (if you haven’t already guessed), onwards to the saga of an ideal Hindi film heroine (with many asides, and exlamation points).
