Jan Pahchan (1950)
8/10
Movie has good songs
31 January 2009
The movie maybe slow moving occasionally but is good one. The movie has some very good songs. Khemchand Prakash was the MD of the movie (famous for Mahal) but died during the making. The songs were then completed by Manna Dey. Geeta Roy(later Dutt) did singing for Nargis in the movie and all songs are very nice. One is the Geeta solo Aaoge Na Sajan Aaoge Na and the second is the Geeta-Talat magical song Armaan Bhare Dil Ki Lagan Tere Liye Hai (a delight).Another good one is Duniya Mohabbat Karne Na Degi. The songs complement the storyline well. This movie made a hit of the Nargis-Raj Kapoor pair and they were to appear in many more movies together. Raj Kapoor is convincing as the painter. Like many of his later movies he is shown with a disfigured body. He had become a master of the imperfect hero. There is good chemistry between him and Nargis. Ramanand Sagar has written a good story. Screenplay could have been slightly tighter though.
