Review
------
Yash Chopra made Kabhie Kabhie with a theme that he is good at
i.e. Love. The movie starts with the song Main Pal Do Pal Ka
Shaayar Hoon and, ends with the song Main Har Ek Pal Ka Shaayar
Hoon. What lies between the two songs of the poet is a well told
love story spanning two generations that shows the transformation
of the poet from Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar to Har Ek Pal Ka Shaayar.
There are seven main characters and, all of these characters are
natural and realistic that audience can feel each of the
characters emotion and associate to them. Amitabh, Rakhee, Shashi
Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Naseem, all of
them have acted very well; but it is Amitabh who steals the show.
Parikshit Sahni and Simi Grewal have supported well as the foster
parents of Neetu Singh and, Deven Verma provides the comical
(given a few scenes he leaves a good impression). Yash
Chopra has handled the theme of the movie very well and, has
directed superbly. He keeps the story telling simple and linear,
develops each character very well, and never goes far from the
crux of the story even when touching issues like premarital
relationship. Though brief, he also captures the capital Delhi
nicely. Kabhie Kabhie as Yash Chopra's best movie until now. He
did break the grounds with Lamhe in terms of story but he is yet
to surpass Kabhie Kabhie as director. Music and songs have always
been the strong point of Yash Chopra's movie. Kabhie Kabhie is
among the top ones in that list. The credit goes to both Khayyam
and Sahir. The songs melodiously rendered by Mukesh, Lata,
Kishore and Pamela to date are chart busters. At the time when
Kishore's voice was getting associated with Amitabh, Khayyam
broke the trend by using Mukesh's voice to capture the soul and
the depth in the poet's (or Sahir's) lyrics. As a whole Kabhie
Kabhie is one of the best movie that has graced the screens of
Hindi cinema." --platform47.com
