Angoor directed by Gulzar is inspired by Shakespeare's play COMEDY OF ERRORS.Angoor is considered to be one of the best Hindi comedy movies of all time.It is also one of the best selling videos in the DVD market.
The story is about two pairs of twins separated at birth( a malik-naukar set each) whose lives collide in their adulthood when pair no.2 comes to pair no.1 's city.The whole film narrates the confusion that takes place henceforth for the next 2 days.All the characters are very well etched and leave a mark.The film has to be watched to enjoy it.
The direction by Gulzar is flawless.The dialogues,lyrics(especially the song 'Preetam Aan Milo'),costumes,art direction,everything is simple,apt,perfect and realistic.The music by R.D.Burman is okay.There are only 3 songs in the film,of which 'Preetam Aan Milo' stands out.The first song could have been done away with,still it wasn't bad or intolerable.
Coming to the performances the late Sanjeev Kumar stands out.His expressions are simply superb.No actor can even touch him.I heard that Angoor is being remade,but without Sanjeev Kumar there can be no Angoor.So, please drop the stupid idea of remaking this classic.One should not mess around with classics.Deven Verma is equally brilliant in his role.Moushumi Chatterjee,Deepti Naval and Aruna Irani are very good. The supporting cast comprising Padma Chavan,Yunus Parvez,T.P.Jain, C.S.Dubey,Col.Trilok Kapoor and Ram Mohan are also very good and leave a mark in whatever little they have to do.Utpal Dutt and Shammi are memorable in their special appearances.
On the overall,Angoor is a continuous laugh riot which has to be watched by everybody!I simply loved it!
