Alicia I love this movie so much
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Prateek Kumar Even the word Best sounds very low for this high performing movie...A Classic in all respect.... Music-The Best, Story-The Best, Dance-The Best, Can't forget that Naag Nritya, Songs-The Best-All Superhit, Acting-The Best of all. This movie is the Legand and unique in few ways....First of all Back to back songs and The story plot....Starts normally goes back into past...then come back to present and then goes back to past and then comes back and then last half an hour is so impressive. I think these things made this movie a Legand. The more you saw this movie...the more you like it.... I have seen this at least Fifty Times and in next few years I will be the centuries... Its a saga of love...a story of
Biswajit Tripathy Guide the award winning story by R K Narayan is a masterpiece of all times. One of the few films I liked from my heart. This movie made Navketan Banners a household name.Raju (Dev Anand) is a railway guide. Rosie is the neglected wife of an Archaeologist (Rehman) has a passion for dancing. They meet in one of those trips of Rosie with her husband when Raju becomes their Guide to that town. Raju becomes her dance guide and finally a spiritual guide.When Rosie becomes successful Raju becomes insecure. He succumbs to drinking and gambling. Raju gets involved in forgery and goes to Jail. After getting out of the Jail, he is passing through a village where he is mistaken as a Sadhu by some local villagers. Raju takes advantage of the situation and starts living in that village. Then comes a famine in that village. Villagers are tensed. By this time Raju has become a Swamiji. During that time Raju is narrating a story to one of the villager as to how a man keeps fast to bring rain to a certain village. This villager likes the story so much that he goes and spreads that Swamiji will keep fast to bring rain. Though Raju wanted not to, but he goes on a fast seeing all villagers trust in him. And wonder of wonders; it rains.The movie was a technically genius during 1965. The music, art, cinematography sets it apart from all others and won most of the words. Followed by Tere Mere Sapne, Guide is Vijay Anand's best movie yet. The song 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hei' portrays life at it best.The movie was a masterpiece and inspiration to many peoples. Guide is a movie made in India and for India. This is one movie which is still watchable.
purnendup Its an Iconic Hindi movie of all time. Dev Anand, Vijay Anand & Wahida Rehman at their Summit.For me, Guide will always spot at the Top of all the Hindi Movies ever filmed. It is without any doubt coined as the most famous Indian Musical Movie of all the Times.Every inch of Movie reel is a class act & it rolls before your eyes with a heart pounding and moving Title song. All the songs are pegged as all time great. Wahida Rehman is the most gorgeous actor i have ever seen in Hindi cinema & she gave a tough fight for Beauty goddess Madhubala.to sum up GUIDE is worth a TREAT.
vijaymehra74 I saw this movie first time at the age of 10. Till then i saw it more than 250 times. It is simply great to comment about one of all time great & masterpiece movie called "GUIDE". The performance given by almost by all the actors was just simply matchless. Performance of "Dev Sahab" is tremendous. It was a very heroic step to make a film based on a novel by R.K. Narayanan. Guide, Dev Sahab & Goldy proved their mettle. Music given by "Sachin Da" is so Melodious, soulful & touching. Guide was released in the year of 1965. It begged so many awards. Guide not only have great music, great compositions, but it have great ethical, moral values too. The dialogue delivery of Dev Sahab was outstanding. I would like to repeat one of them. <<<<""""Har Sheeshe Se Dil Mein Ek Tasveer Hai, ek Sheesha-E-Dil Hamare Seene Mein Bhi Hai, Jo Hardam is Mohini Soorat Ko Chupaye Rakhta Hai"""">>>>>. Guide is a milestone in the Indian film industry. It is simply a must see film.
