Nadiya Ke Paar

Review By Kamal K

Wow, how good was this movie, i am just speechless. That time most of the movie can be watched with family, and they contain no vulgarity . This was a great love story between Gunja and Chandan. The characters and songs were fabulous. If you are thinking that this is an old age movie which will fail to entertain you, then you're totally wrong, with entertainment it teaches what family is and its important.

I belong to north UP and this movie is a true mirror showing culture of north UP to the rest of India. But this is not only one reason that I am praising this movie. This movie is really outstanding in every aspect...This cult classic is a good lesson to now a days bhojpuri dialect movies which are showing only vulgarity. This movie touches every cultural aspect of north india specially rural areas. Once my mother told that how this movie runs continuously for five years in a cinema theatre in Allahabad.

Sachin once again rocks as Chandan after "geet gaata chal" & "ankhiyon ke jharokhon se"...being a Mumbai boy, yet seems absolutely from north UP....actress Sadhna originally belongs to Varanasi and this movie shooted in Jaunpur...so she was best suited as Gunja and she did well enough...rest of the characters did justice to their roles.

And music...exceptionally brilliant...all songs are cult classic now...specially "kaun disha me"...so overall a must watch movie for every one and in my top five favourite movie...a big salute to rajshee...

"Nadiya Ke Paar" remains one of the most memorable family dramas by Rajshree Productions, a banner known for making clean, light-hearted family movies. The film was remade as "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun" in 90s which made a historic success. Set in the rural backdrop of India, the film depicts family values and love between two brothers. The film feels like a sweet breeze of air at times for its natural setting of a village with the characters speaking local dialect. Just watch this film to see how well "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun" has burrowed some of the best moments of "Nadiya Ke Paar," and just improvised and elaborated the sequences. Perhaps this makes "HAHK" one of the most successful movies despite a remake. The realistic setting, story, emotions, and a lovely music and songs by Ravindra Jain make "Nadiya Ke Paar" a treat to watch despite certain flaws in the movie such as a bit of its slow pace. Besides, the film at times slopes from the local dialect to Hindi which loses the spontaneity of the setting. Sachin feels a bit miscast (he has played such roles far too many) and other characters like Inder Thakur, Mitali, and Sadhana Singh add freshness to the screen.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4

This is a very good movie. 10 year it remake was also made name of that movie is hum aapke Hain Kaun.

As Sachin Tendulkar is loved by 3 different generations ; Sachin Pilgaonkar and Sadhana SIngh's "Nadiyan ke Paar" is definitely Loved by my Grandfather, Father as well as My generation's peoples. It's been 42 long Years in 2024 ; still I'm in love with this movie from every aspects. The Cinematography of Rural India in 80s' with conservative mindsets among villagers were crystal clear in this movie which gives us realism about that contemporary India. You will definitely fall in Love with Gunja + Chandan's Jodi because of their innocence and beautiful portrayal of their characters on screen. I'm still amazed to know that it was the debut movie of 'Sadhna Singh'. I mean the way she played her role as a beautiful village girl was definitely appealing to our eyes and we fell in love with her character instantaneously.

The runtime of this movie is around 2hr30Min which is edited pretty well I'll say, because at that time period filmmakers doesn't care much about runtimes and average runtimes of such stories could have been upto 3hrs. But here's a little negative point that they rushed the climax very fast. They could have taken more 2-3Min to showcase the entire dilemma and emotions of each characters, that could have been more feel good factors for the today's audiences. But anyway! Audiences of that era accepted it and made it an all time cult classic with blockbuster in numbers. Songs of this movie are still feel refreshing in my generation especially 'Kaun disha mein leke Chala' & 'Jogi Ji Waah' are still in my Car Music playlist.

Overall a beautiful Cinema with hell lot of emotions. I was literally crying while watching this movie. Definitely gonna recommend this to everyone as it's a Family Friendly movie with no vulgarity like today's time. 9 Out of 10 Stars will be the rating from my side for it.. It's a Must Watch Movie for sure!
