this is enhanced by some brilliant acting in the court room sequences,the British raj and the period details of forties are painstakinglycaptured in the reincarnation drama .the director was a masterstoryteller and this is a marvel he has lovingly created , the leadactress looks and acts like a truly beautiful reincarnation and thelocales are equally eye-catching in the eternal Himalayas , encore

2) The story of Kudrat is based in the city of Shimla where two lovers areborn again. SuperStar Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. They wereseparated in their earlier lives by the evil desires of RaajKumar. Howthe story unfolds is told very differently. It has the stamp of themaster director Chetan Anand who has used his talented cast very well.RaajKumar and Rajesh Khanna play their roles to their best and are ablysupported by Vinod Khanna, Priya Rajwansh and Hema Malini. The music byR D Burman is excellent and few songs are immortal. A true classicmovie with a lot of British Era period buildings, atmosphere of the eragoneby. It has suspense which chills you and holds you till the end.The court scenes are good. Over all a must see as to how Super StarRajesh Khanna takes on the stylish RaajKumar.

3) This movie is an interesting past life chilling drama. Hema malini andRajesh Khana play the part of lovers in their past life only to bereawakedby the Reincarnated Hema malini who unearths a dark secret. This film isnota full on horror flim its more of as supense murder mystery that willleaveyou really spooked. The film features a lovely soundrtack featuring somelovely romantic numbers. Hema Malini’s performance is really very good.Rajkumar plays the evil protagonist whose actions form the basis for thedramaThough this wasn’t the scarriest film I have ever seen it sure did spookmeout for the rest of the evening. Worth a Watch 9 out of10.

4) This film is a waste. A total waste. Insipid, uninspired, magnified bylousy acting and a horrible script. Priya Rajvnash should have longgiven up acting. Its a wonder how she was given to continue, maybethere could have been a special low banning her entry to any filmstudio. Her emotional scenes are straight out of a circus. They are alaugh riot.

Raj Kumar too lives up to his Jaani image. He proves for the nth timethat people can keep on acting in Hindi films as long as they have astupid bunch of people to watch them perform.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing to recommend in this film exceptthe beautiful music of R D Burman and the dignified singing of LataMangeshkar and Kishore Kumar.

5) This Bollywood movie holds all the elements a good movie is supposed tohave. Romance, thriller, suspense. The story – POSSIBLE SPOILERS – isabouta young woman (Hema Malini) remembering events from her past life as Parowho was madly in love with Madho, and who one day just disappeared.Dharmendra plays the role of the reincarnated Madho, but unlikeChandramukhihe does not remember his past life and believes Chandramukhi to bementallyill. Yet he finds himself strangely drawn to her. With the help of afriendpsychiatrist (Vinod Khanna) Chandramukhi tries to solve the mystery thathaunts her.In flashbacks we see the story unfold which makes for a very suspensefulride. One can’t help but hope that justice will be served for the two lostsouls of Paro and Madho.The story is beautiful as is the scenery of Simla. I strongly recommendthismovie.

Meanwhile, Mickey has broken his gun and is stuck in a tree as a moosetakes bites out of the leaves, exposing him more and more. The twomooses finally fall in love with the Goofy/Donald disguise and go towar with each other.

The disguise soon fails. The cartoon ends. Not heavily funny but amindless 8 minutes.

2) A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.

Mickey, Goofy & Donald become the most inept MOOSE HUNTERSin history.

There’s much fun in the forest in this little film as the threepalsquickly attract the attentions of the meanest moose males inthearea. Goofy & the Duck act together as a team – theirimpersonation of a female moose is hilarious – while Mickey’srather peripheral role foreshadows his eventual eclipseasDisney’s most popular cartoon star.

Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. Asalad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scrapsofpaper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during theFirstWorld War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle.Backin Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developedaprimitive animation studio that provided animated commercialsand tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Alwaystheinnovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke groundinplacing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversalssentDisney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt’s olderbrother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor.When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbitwas snatched away by the distributor, the character ofMickeyMouse sprung into Walt’s imagination, ensuring Disney’simmortality. The happy arrival of sound technology madeMickey’sscreen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendousaudience success with its use of synchronized music. TheSILLYSYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt’s growing crew ofmarvelously talented animators were quickly conqueringnewterritory with full color, illusions of depth and radicaladvancements in personality development, an arena in whichWalt’s genius was unbeatable. Mickey’s feisty, naughtybehaviorhad captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joinedbyother animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck,intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this wasinpreparation for Walt’s grandest dream – feature lengthanimatedfilms. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered andoverthe next decades delighted children of all ages with theadventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & PeterPan.Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse,orthat childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard workwillalways pay off.

2) I have seen this move on 21st of Dec. 2006 on the cable in Pakistan BUTthe movie was going to release on 29th of Dec. but has been postponedfor one week more means it was finally going to release on 5th of Jan.2007. Anyway don't watch this movie because all you will get to see theoveracting by Rekha, Vasundhra Das and Kim Sharma. Mahima Chaudary wastheir only to show her cleavage. Ashmit Patel lack of expressions. Onlydecent performance by Sachin Khedekar but he shouldn't be doing suchkind of movies. Direction was not up to the mark. Songs were notsoulful. The choreography was just okay. But you will ask yourself thatwhat a legend like rekha is doing in such kind of film. At the end,don't watch this movie Rating: 1 out of 10

3) Just can't figure out why all the newspapers have given negativereviews to this movie. Is something wrong with our movie critics?

So much identification with the characters in the move. The reviewersseemed to have missed the point completely.

See it once and you will agree. Good music, a refreshingly differenttheme which could happen in our lives too.

Unfortunately, a lot of English dialogues, though translated later intoHindi. Not a movie for the masses but for classes

A good first time directorial attempt by Amar Butala. Rekha has done afantastic job of portraying an ageing socialite.

Ashmit Patel brings a fresh look and Mahima has appeal!!! Kim is theprefect representation of a scatter brain one sees on party circuits.

2) Its often said that teenagers were invented in the 1950's, in Japan asin everywhere else. There were 'shocking' youth movies in Japan beforethis one, but nothing of this quality. This was Yasuzo Masumura's firstmovie, but it moves with the style and precision of a very experiencedfilm maker. It is often described as a precursor of the 'New Wave' ofcinema in the 1960's. I've no idea if it was seen by the likes ofGodard, etc., but it has lots of the freshness and vitality of thosemovies. It still stands up as vibrant and entertaining film making.

There is very little to the plot really, its just two young people,barely out of the teens, both desperately seeking 100,000 yen torelease their fathers from prison. The boy Kinichi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi)is kind but seems to have the attention span of a gnat, while the girlAkiko (Hitomi Nozoe) is outwardly bold and confident, but is reallydesperately lonely. They meet for an evening, then spend the rest ofthe next day trying to get together again.

This is one of those movies which flows so naturally you don'timmediately see just how skillful the film maker is. The first half issimply the two future lovers enjoying each others company – this shouldbe boring and annoying, but its not. It helps that Nozoe is compellingand lovely – Kawaguchi is a little less impressive, its hard to seesometimes what is driving his character. The whole story follows asatisfying arc, with an unusually good ending. It is vastly superior tothe majority of the 'youth' movies of America or Britain of thatperiod, much more human and without the commercial cynicism orpatronizing morality of the most of the western counterparts. What iparticularly like about the story is that while both are trying to'save' their parents, there is no sentimentality or false morality inthe portrayal of the lovers. They are simply lost kids, trying to dothe best that they can for their wayward parents. In this sense, it canbe seen as a very modern, very adult movie.

This may have been overtaken in style by the classic movies of the NewWave, but this is still a fascinating slice of life from the period. Iwas very surprised when i watched it to see that it really hasn't dated(unlike so many of this type of movie), its well worth the time foranyone interested in Japanese movies of the period – although its alsoperhaps the least 'japanese' movie of the period I've seen, it couldeasily have been transposed to a French or American background withalmost no change in the story. For those interested in Masumuru, italso shows that his template of making interesting, intelligent moviesout of superficially commercial or potentially exploitative materialstarted at the very beginning of his career.

As a minor point, it also has a great early sequence set in a Keirinstadium – for cycle sports fans this must rank as one of the earliestportrayal on screen of this sport.

3) Not much to say about this unexceptional film. It may have been somewhatsensational when released in late 50′s Japan, but looks all very innocenttoday. The lead actress is pleasant to look at but her performance, liketherest of the actors, is unremarkable.
