Samaantar

I Watched this movie with great expectations ,considering the actor names like Sharmila Tagore, Radhika Apte and Amol Palekar. Nothing new in the story for those, who have seen the bollywood films over the years. In fact, I found it as a patchwork of so many good hindi movies. Many scenes reminded me of Sujata (a song copying the voice and style of the legendary SachinDa), Anupama, Aandhi and Rajanigandha.(In this movie, it was Bakuli flowers) The story revolves round lost love , making two partners making unhappy throughout their life. In the acting department, Sharmila has acted very well as she is a talented artist. Radhika Apte has also done well. Amol Palekar has not contributed much. Serious acting doesn't come naturally to him. Other characters are just ok. Kishor Kadam's talent is wasted here. Overall, it is worth watching once, but doesn't have a powerful impact on your mind.
