Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

silvan-desouza Ek Dujje Ke Liye is a remake of Telugu Film Maro Charitra which also starred Kamal Hassan,Madhavi who reprise their roles here. The film is directed by same director K BalachandarThe film is a good love story like a Romeo and Juliet and also has culture war thrown in. The film was a blockbuster and gave a good start for talented Kamal Hassan and Rati Agnihotri. The film is set in Goa(though people speak more in Hindi) and has a war between North Indians and South Indians. The clash is well handled and so is the love story though the idea of keeping them separate may not make sense today but for it's time its good, scenes in Hyderabad too are funny with Asrani thrown in a film obsessed Accountant. The film ends though a bit too tragically which is surprising, the rape part could be avoided thoughDirection is good though some parts look like plain translated from A South film Music by LP is great, Solah Baras Ki is the best song by Lata, while Hum Banne, Mere Jeevan Saathi and other songs became famous and are superbKamal Hassan though a bit off in Hindi does a good job, Rati Agnihotri though tends to overact a bit too much yet it suits her part Shobha Khote is great, Satyen Kapoo is funny, Rakesh Bedi is funny as the sneezing second lead, Madhavi is good in her debut Raza Murad has an effective cameo,Asrani is hilarious rest are okay

Chrysanthepop What really sets 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' apart from other love stories, is its disturbing ending. Otherwise the film itself is no different than other love stories regarding star-crossed lovers that have been made several. Some of the songs are nice (but not great) and mostly forgettable. The use of the language barrier between the two characters was something different and new. Also there are some nice sequences that prevent it from being just another romantic film. The director deserves credit for executing them. Performances are quite decent. Rati Agnihotri does well for a newcomer. Madhavi is very good. Kamal Hassan is quite alright in a few scenes and very bad in some. He seems to just not get the right expressions particularly in the crying scenes (which are unintentionally funny). However, the guy can surely dance! Shobha Khote is extremely annoying and almost want to press the mute button. 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' is certainly one of the better films of the 80s. A different love story it is and I'd recommend it to viewers who enjoy romantic films but beware of its disturbing conclusion.

hnggg The scene is a small town in India before liberalisation and globalisation. In fact, I don't think America or any foreign country is mentioned in the script or any picturisation done there. contrast this with Bollywood of 2000s where the only Indian part is language and actors.The people are simple and the life of young ones are sans complications. If today's Indian youth were not panting after career, America etc., then they would fall in love exactly like this.The story is well executed on screen. There are no contemporary obsessions like morality, or Indian versus American values or saas-bahu conspiracies. Even the numerous plots by girl's mother (Shubha Khote) to separate the lover duo are almost poetic and are received by the lovers as tests of the path of love.The songs and the ending are the highpoint of the film. Rakesh Bedi adds comic relief. This is one of the few films where no villain / negative characters is trying to marry either lover.

adeelio1 I saw it in PAK circa 1982, probably 5 or 6 times, the songs are top notch...the heroine is as fine as all outdoors , the hero is a likable tool. It is nice story with a non-mundane ending, which is usually typical of "Bollywood" nonsense...Just watch it, you will like it - I think. If you don't dig the story, you will not deny the songs =) I was a youngster in 82, but I still liked it then, not even knowing what it meant to be in that state. Now, I know what its all about and will preach it to anyone that listens, hahaha...don't hate on love , that is all I have to say about that, ala Forest Gump - And why do I need 10 lines to be approved for commenting, I was done after 5 lines, the last few lines are plain jibberish!
