AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
vikasjoshi-99705 Director asit sen deserves full marks for showcasing emotions with excellent masterpiece musical score from hemant da ,Also gulzar penned lyrics & dialogue creates instant magic .. Excellent performance by waheeda rehman ..
Righteousman Mehta The movie based on human relation and a classic one , made during a time when such serious subjects were not a success . the film has a bengali cinema's touch because they appreciate such subjects .the star cast of the film is great and well acted especially wahheeda rehman , i can say her best performance . it is an emotional film what we feel and do how it affects our mind ,expressed beautifully . i still wonder if nurse radha really fell in love with arun .it does not have an adequate ending just like most of the indian movies .so have to guess what ? movie is interesting and very nice songs , excptional.
AZAM KHORASANI (AZAM-KHORASANI) A powerful insight into the strain put on a nurse (Waheeda Rehman) as she uses 'experimental' treatment methods to save a patient from tumbling into the abyss of madness using trust, dedication & affection as her only tools she combats desperation, paranoia, & animosity. Her patient unable to express his feelings to a woman who mistreated him by lulling him into web of deceit, where she uses him for his talents then discards him. The nurse tries in vain to convince the woman responsible for the affliction her patient suffers from that she is needed for his rehabilitation only to be admonished by the head of the hospital saying that she cannot solve societies problems even though society seems to be responsible for the constant stream of patients the hospital receives. This draws her down a spiralling staircase of depression as she is told to forget/deny her true feelings for a patient under her treatment which ultimately leads to her demise as she remains forced into silence (Khamoshi) instead of venting the emotions that she feels for the man that she loves...An exquisite soundtrack from Hemant Kumar (composer & producer) along with songs such as Tum pukar lo.. (Hemant Kumar & Kishore Kumar) & Woh shaam kuch ajeeb thi (Kishore Kumar) make this film an enduring classic which stands the test of time.
JAGDEVS A very interesting idea. this film speaks of class. A story about a nurse in a mental institution whose revolutionary treatment's side effects get unnoticed. After falling in love with her first patitent and never telling anyone her love goes unnoticed as her patient moves on and another patient who after being betrayed by his first love is left on the brink of madness, is brought in. After failed attempts, her treatment is again called for but this time with disastrous consequences. A sad yet very moving drama.... a must see with a beautiful soundtrack.
