GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
silvan-desouza Mehmood was the king of comedy in 60's, 70's and gave us several laughriots PADOSAN is one of the finest comedies ever remembered till today. The film is a laughriot throughout. It starts off with Introduction on Om Prakash in one of his crazziest roles ever, he is searching for a girl to marry at old age after leaving his wife, then we are introduced to Sunil Dutt who is a simpleton and reads books on age definition of love(till 25 one shd not fall in love) he falls for Bindu(Saira Banu) and then the results. There are several funny scenes like the scene in the garden when Sunil Dutt and gang stand as trees, Sunil Dutt trying to sing.etc The change of events and Sunil Dutt getting hurt is well handled and then the film keeps you involved and many things laughing to the gloryDirection by Jyothi Swaroop is topnotch Music by RD Burman gives us several classic numbers like Lata's Bai Bathur, Mere Saamne waale Khidki(picturised on Dutt with playbacks of Kishore), Kehna Hai and the famous Ek Chatur Naar. Camera-work is decent, Dialogues are topnotchAmongst actors It's difficult to say who was better as all are given good roles unlike today's comedies Sunil Dutt is superb as Bhola, I never knew he had such a funny bone and he excels in his character without overdoing it Mehmood as the South Indian Classical Dancer does a great job as usual(though his act may seem exxagerated) but yet it suits the movie, This was his debut production and was a huge hit Kishore Kumar is a laughriot, He was often known for his comedy acts in 50's and 60s and he does another great job, He gets a chance to show his matchless playback skills too in the film Saira Banu looks beautiful and does a good job Om Prakash in a guest role does a great job in one of his funniest performances, Keshto Mukherjee and Mukri the only familiar people in Sunil Dutt's gang leave a mark while the rest are okay
wassupbhaskar One of the best all time comedies and among the best of Indian cinema. Kishore Kumar and mahmood stand out every one in their comic timing . you keep wondering how versatile can a man be after watching kishore kumar sing and act at the same time. sunil dutt is cute and good with his dialogs. good acting . saira banu is also good. The maestro that he is , once again RD Burman proves that the genius like him are rarely born.kishore kumar and Manna Day have sung the songs awesomely. The songs "Mere samnewali khidki', "kehena Hai ", "sawariya" and the only one of its kind till date in the history of cinema "Ek Chatur naar". Kishore kumar according is the hero of the Film.
narayan_l_k This is a hilarious and fantastic plot and producer Mahmood has truly justified the quote below the film title 'The first ambitious Motion Picture'. It is a splendid performance by one and all concerned with this film.Rather than the film's heroine Saira Banu, the film focuses on the duel of wits between her two suitors Mehmood and Sunil Dutt, who is helped by his Guruji Kishore Kumar (doing an imitation of Popol, a famous Bengali artiste) with a floppy middle-partitioned hairstyle and paan stained mouth. Mehmood has excelled as the South-Indian music and dance teacher, with mannerisms such as clutching the hems of his dhoti and the oft-repeated 'aiyo'... One of the high points of this film is the 'Ek Chatur Naar...' during which Mehmood's harmonium gets stuck, making him mumble, 'ennaiya idu... (in Tamil) (meaning, 'what is this') Buy this DVD and have a good laugh!!!!!
Herag Halli Mehmood, was not only a comedian's comedian. but a great actor. He left indelible mark with this movie, which will remain the Classic of Hindi Comedy. The movie was shot on Location in Mysore, where Visveshwarya the "Einstein" of India built the K.R. Sagar Dam and the breath taking Brindavan Gardens.The beauty of this movie, was the incredible casting. Sunil Dutt,was perfectly cast as the naive and stupid "Bhola" and, what a natural performance from an actor. The newer genre of actors are pale by comparison and their mediocre talent is put on pedestal and worshiped. Rahul Dev Burman, the son of the legend Sacchin Dev Burman (Guide), created some of the best tunes ("Thumhi Dulahi" "Kehna Hai",and the greatest romantic and heart-tugging song ever in an Hindi movie "Sharm Aati Hai Magar" when 'Bindu' sings for 'Bhola' at his bed-side) for this movie, every song, is hummable immortal melody that was picture perfect on the characters, that included the greatest singing/acting talent of Kishore Kumar as "Guru". Saira Banu, who was at the peak of her career, looked gorgeous. She eventually caught the attention of the then thespian, Dilip Kumar, ending in matrimony. The Ace, was Mehmood, with his inimitable accent and style as "Masterji" will remain forever in our memory. I would consider this movie as one of the "Top Ten Hindi Films of All Times." The only movie that would come close is "Hera-Pheri" and Paresh Rawal, is the only comedian, that would come close to the Comedic Genius--that was Mehmood.
