Musafir

A great film by Hrishida about 3 aspects of life. The greatest thing about the movie was the acting of Dilip Kumar.He was the best actor in the film and the only reason why I gave it 10 stars. The story is about a rental house in which David is the owner. The first part is about a couple who have eloped and married. The second part is about a family in which a widow is about to become a mother. The third part is about a family in which a widow has a small handicapped son and her brother.This is the part in which Dilip Kumar enters and is the best part of the movie Watch it for great acting of the "tragedy King" Dilip Kumar. All others have a decent performance

This movie hits you so hard that you will watch it time after time. It is about life from different angles. It gets so tense and painful when Dilip Kumar appears after one hour or more. He plays his role so perfectly that one would smile when he smiles, and would cry when he cries!

I'm not sure if he got an award for his performance in this movie, but I must say that his performance in this movie is as good as in Devdas!

A three act movie about a house and its varied renters representing phases of life.Rushikesh Mukerjee debuted here as director and the future genius is obvious. For me the biggest treat is Dilip Lata duet in Dilips own voice....Lagi nahin chhote rama kahe jiya jai...

The cast is superb. The famous Munna bada pyara song is part of charm. Complex..as life and as ephemeral

David and his house are the constants

There is a type of black and white photography which sets the 50s in outstanding relief. I was only 9 when I saw it but it has stayed with me for half century

Presenting three unique stories, all connected via the thread that they happen in the same home, just at different times. The first one is a melodramatic one that is not helped by the rueful female lead. It is the second act that stands out the most. Presenting Kishore Kumar as a youth looking for employment(something that was detailed in Bimal Roy's 1954 'Naukri'), it almost reflects a nation's view even several decades later.

The last act lands with Dilip Kumar but honestly, failed to sway me. The songs in this film are all forgettable (though the director's next venture 'Anari' would have a classic score).

This Hindi film was the debut of director Hrishikesh Mukherjee. And wow, what a film. In terms of theme, much ahead of its time! And not surprising hence to see it's a multi starrer with so many good actors including Dilip Kumar, Suchitra Sen, Kishore Kumar along with a very good support cast.

The film is about three stories that happen in a home each time when it gets rented out. Each story ends happily even if there is some hurt along the way. The stories capture various themes including love, family, problems of youth, sickness, despair and hope.

Suchitra Sen is graceful with captivating beauty in the first story. Although her accent when speaking Hindi is noticeable. Kishore Kumar is bubbly in the second story and adds to the comic element. While you wonder where he's been - Dilip Kumar shows up in the third story. I bet the lack of footage of the superstar is one of the reasons for the film not running much. It should also be boredom of him playing too many brooding characters after Devdas.

It's otherwise a gem of a film in the story, direction and performances. Highly recommend!
