Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the late 1960's , producer, assistant director Raaj Grover took Amitabh to meet Tarachand Barjatya for a screen test. Amitabh arrived in a taxi cab wearing a white churidar pyjama. This angered Raaj Grovel as he felt the tight fitting pants emphasized on Amitabh long and skinny legs . He told Amitabh what he felt. The appointment was for 11:05. Amitabh and Raj Grover arrived and knocked on the door at 11 pm. This angered Barjatya and he told them that he said the appointment was for 11:05 am not 11:00. The minute Tarachand Barjatya saw Amitabh he said "No heroine will ever want to work with you. You are too tall. Why don't you go and become a poet like your father." After that there was a 10 minute silence in the room. A dejected Amitabh thanked Barjatya for his time and left. Two years lated Tarachand Barjatya changed his mind about Amitabh after seeing the movie Anand. That is when Amitabh signed Saudagar.

Excellent ! Betrayal & Desire destroying lives constrained by poverty.
Hindi movies rarely have subtle and powerful acting depicting complex human weaknesses like desire leading to destruction of lives. A simple tale told powerfully. Watch it with compassion for the characters; understanding the limitations of the culture (Mehr money for Marriage starting the problem and Easy Divorce compounding it); and Desire in one area destroying lives in another..
"Yeh aag nahi Bujhi" as the last line nails it home. Very subtle acting; Powerful Screenplay .. Must Watch.
