Shaadi l Balraj Sahni, Sulochana, Manoj Kumar, Saira Banu, Dharmendra, Indrani Mukherjee, Om Prakashl 1962 l HD
Very spot on pointed commentary without words on various social evils, whether new or old - families that expect dowry, for one, and more. As usual, though, equally guilty people get very diverse treatment from characters and author and director, depending on which side of gender gap they belong to!
Nice shots in beginning song, of Kaaverie at Shimsha and also Goswamy Ghaat. But anyone in the know of the spots and geography must have a laugh about the supposed village damsel dancing from one to other in course of a morning routine to bring home a pot of water.
Delightful 1:53:00 - 1:54:00, and the very familiar old song thereafter. But the best, of course, are the veterans, Balraj Sahni and Sulochana, Leela Mishra and Om Prakash, and too Manorama and the artist who plays her husband the judge, while the youngsters in main roles are much younger here than one recalls seeing them in most other films.
Funny, the later husband allowed her to do this b&w so soon after her introducory colour film, but insisted on her second film with the first costar being colour, hence delayed the film and ruined that producer amonst many others (such as producer of Don). Vendetta against the producer, or just the cheap way to express his vicious jealousy against first family of films?
