Kudrat

Director chetan anand also features in the movie at duration 14:11 and 14:51 wearing a coat.

A very well made movie with its brilliant story and editing being its hallmark. All of the melodious songs carried the story forward and were beautifully inserted at the right times. An evergreen movie which has stood the test of time even after 41 years.

I am shocked to see 7.2 rating on Imdb for this classic cult by Chetan Anand. i mean c'mon what is wrong with indian audience and critics. This movie deserves to be in TOP 5 hindi movies ever. Direction, Story, Sceenplay, Music & most importantly Acting be all the legends in this movie is beyond perfect.

Highly recommended to everyone who is reading this review.

Kudrat is a taut thriller directed by chetan anand. The reincarnation theme has been handled in a few movies & this one impresses. Music by RBDB is of the highest class. It has got an impressive star cast who have all given goof performances.

Hemamalini has given a beautiful performance & her chemistry with kaka is magical. Raaj kumar is his usual self. Vinod khanna gets a relatively minor role. Rajesh khanna steals the show witha fantastic performance. The main drawback is. Priya Rajvansh who is wooden & performs miserably.

There were stories before release that kaka took the entire reel & edited it. If that were true, then the other actors would have got their roles chopped off.

The film did average business possibly bcos of its delayed me , release & also bcos a film with a similar theme Karz was released earlier.

Anyway, a movie to be savoured for rajesh khanna fans.

Review By Kamal K

Well, for some strange reason i never watched this movie considering it will be boring. That was despite being an RD fan. But after watching i have the highest regards for Chetan anand for story,screenplay and direction. What a taut, crisp direction without a dull moment. Only the courtroom drama was little melodramatic.
