Review of Alaap

Alaap (1977)
7/10
Another great film by Hrishikesh Mukherjee - Amitabh team
20 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
ALAAP is another combo of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Amitabh Bachchan The film is a story of a musician who has a friction with his father who wants him to be a lawyer. The film is well handled again by Hrishida, with the right emotions and several subplots which are well dealt. The friction with the father and son is well handled, Previously in Namak Haram too Hrishi had explored that angle but not as much as here. The characters of Farida Jalal, Sanjeev Kumar(cameo) too are well handled The film does drag at times but yet is superb

Direction is superb Music is good, though it didn't have a big hit score, in this film Yesudas sings for Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan is brilliant in his role, giving it the right pathos and sincerity,Rekha is good in a brief role,Om Prakash is superb Sanjeev Kumar is good in a cameo, Farida Jalal is superb, Asrani in a serious role leaves a mark, others all are good Chayya Devi leaves a mark as Sarjo
