Angoor Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
silvan-desouza Bollywood comedies are normally associated with slapstick and nonsense especially in recent times, but there were times when such comedies were made which make us laugh even today. Gulzar who teamed with Sanjeev Kumar earlier in AANDHI(1975), MAUSAM(1975) and several films teamed with him back in one of the best comedies. The film is based on Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and is a laugh riot, even Shakespeare is given a big homage. The film is one of the most confusing film about mistaken identities. Something done to death recently by Priyadarshan and DD but none can achieve what Gulzar achieved. The film makes you fall down laughing but never looking OTT.The film starts off with the twins getting separated in a tragic incident and then the comedy starts off, the characters are all well written, though some things are not explained like what job the other 2 Sanjeev and Deven do, it's not too clear, also whatever happened to the 1 lakh in the end? But lets forget such stuff as the film promises comedy but doesn't insult your intelligence.Direction by Gulzar is topnotch Music by RD Burman is okay in minimal doses, only 1 song makes it to the film Roz Roz Daali Daali by his wife Asha Bhosle and it's superb Editing is superb, with a few glitches when the double roles meet which is pardonable for its a 1982 film, The length of 2 hours is superbSanjeev Kumar proves yet again why he is one of the best actors Bollywood had, His every gesture, his every voice intonation, every scene will leave you laughing hard, the best part is he never tries too hard, he gives both roles a distinct identity Deven Verma makes a perfect combo with him and he is simply fabulous, this is one of his finest works, for which he got the best comedian award Moushami Chattergee is fantastic in her role, Deepti Naval is good too while Aruna Irani is fab Amongst rest Utpal Dutt and Shammi are good in their brief roles C.S.Dubey is fab, the others are fab too
Chrysanthepop Gulzar's hilarious adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' offers ample laugh out loud moment. Gulzar's poetic writing is loaded with humour and he gives this superb adaptation its own unique touch. He successfully avoids the usually melodrama (that flooded in most Bollywood films) and I liked that he doesn't waste too much time in needlessly elaborating the story. For example, the separation of the twins and how they were raised is told in a simple dialogue (which is adequate). Very quickly, after introducing the charming characters, Gulzar quickly moves to the double trouble confusion and he does it with wit, sarcasm and loads of comedy.It's also well-made on the technical side. The cinematography is very good and the way the images of the actors are juxtaposed (to show the twins in one scene) is well conducted. There are a few songs but they are well utilized and the lyrics are magic (thanks to a great poet's touch).Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are turn on their comic flair to the maximum. Their abilities in comedy are very well known and this is a prototype in their careers. A lovely Moushumi Chatterjee, cute and vivacious Deepti Naval and funny Aruna Irani lend excellent comedic support.Not only does 'Angoor' prove that Gulzar can tackle comedy with class but also that he is one of the most versatile directors today. This is one of India's finest adaptations of a Shakespeare work.
karteekmvs Excellent performances by Sanjeev Kumar, Moushami Chatterjee and above all Deven Verma who steals the show. Great work by Gulzar as usual. The song "Preetam aan milo" sung by Sapan Chakraborthy is the highlight.
baburoy A hilarious remake of A COMEDY OF ERRORS. Two Sanjeev Kumars and two Deven Vermas - a master and servant pair.Confusions are many when the pairs get mistaken for each other. Nice music by R.D.Burman.
