Ek Gaon Ki Kahani

A very good love story made as a very good movie. Despite being a social drama it provides enough moments to laugh out loud. The movie belongs to Abhi Bhattacharya, who plays Ratan (which actually turns out to be the central character of the movie), with aplomb. Next notable contributor is Lalita Pawar. The lady with menacing eyes and dialogs delivers a powerful performance as Ratan's mother. Talat Mehmood is charismatic and does well but has no depth in his acting. That was the reason he could do only about a dozen movies as an actor, in his entire career. Mala Sinha and Nirupa Roy are first rate. Bipin Gupta plays a negative character, probably first and only time. Salil Choudhary music is excellent; 1) Raat Ne Kya Kya Khwaab Dikhaye, 2) Jhoome Re Neela Amber Jhoome, 3) Koi Dekh Lega, 4) Kahan Kubda Langda Loola, 5) Bole Pihu Pihu Papihara, 6) Chale Thummak Thummak Taare and 7) Holi. A very nice product, you should try to watch it.
