पूर्व और पश्चिम

Review By Kamal K

Another masterpiece from Manoj Kumar sahab. Outstanding performance delivered by all actors. It is hard to pick a favourite here. Very rarely is a near perfect film made. P&P fits the bill. For the longest time, I was convinced about Saira ji being a real life NRI. The message is clear. The two worlds exist and each must appreciate the best of other. Kamini Kaushal ji and Nirupa Roy ji as the mothers, Dada Moni as the compassionate patriarch, Pran sahab as an atoning son, Madan Puri sahab as a pining soul, Prem Chopra sahab as desperate and lustful grandson, Bharathi ji and Vinod Khanna sahab as silent lovers have delivered convincing performances. Mahendra Kapoor sahab's and Mukesh sahab's songs are unforgettable. If one must know what acting is all about, watch Purab aur Paschim.
