5 out of 5 stars Another fine collection.......2007-10-16

The latest in the series from Bollywood Classics has a shining example of the double role format so beloved by Indian moviemakers - Ram aur Shyam (1967). The secret of these movies, of course, is that the actor is completely believable in two different roles (perfectly pulled off more recently by Lara Dutta in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom). In this case, the actor is Dilip Kumar. He is bullied by Pran as the rich heir to an industrial combine (Pran wants all his money). In this role, he is simple-minded and cowardly. In his other role, he is a village boy - brash and cheerful. The two roles get reversed by circumstance, as they do, and Dilip Kumar succeeds in striking gold in both roles with two of Bollywood's most beautiful women - Waheeda Rehman and Leela Mishra. But can it all end happily? There's also a great item number from Mumtaz.

The second movie is the ground-breaking 'Julie' (1975). It stars Lakshmi Narayan. It is really two tales in one - firstly, the tale of an unmarried teenage pregnancy, a terrible shame in 1970s India; and secondly the tale of the difficulties of being Anglo-Indian in the modern independent India.

Finally, we have Amitabh's 'Yaarana'. This is really an extraordinary film - and might be considered the last throw of the dice of 1970s Bollywood - even though it was made in 1981. It starts reasonably enough being the tale of two childhood friends - one rich and one poor. They live together in a village. The rich kid eventually goes to college and prospers. Later, he comes back to rescue the poor kid (Amitabh). He takes him to the city and turns him into a mega-Elvis singing star. This is Amitabh in full Elvis-imitation mode, with Vegas-style costumes including flashing lightbulbs on the costume itself - absolutely amazingly cheezy - you'll love it! But even at this stage, the plot is more or less holding together. Then it goes into overdrive and becomes an action movie - the bad guy kidnaps some children - and also the rich guy is kidnapped and beaten - the poor guy (Amitabh remember) beats up the bad guy, goes insane, gets committed to a mental home, and well.....I won't give the ending away. This was the big hit of 1981 in India. I can only imagine it's because the audience felt they had to be in at the end of an era. You have to watch it - there's something deeply compelling about the chaos - and there's also the beautiful Aruna Irani.
