Johny I Love You (1982)
Nothing new to offer
This movie doesn't offer any thing interesting. The story line is full of errors & assumptions. The worst part comes in the second half & towards the end where it completely goes out of reality. It seems the story teller has not researched the subject even slightly.
The acting department is just fine albeit it boasts some of the finest actors of that time i.e. 80's. Amrish Puri has remained the most impressive among all. Others like, Suresh Oberoi, Sanjay Dutt & Rati Agnihotri have remained just at par.
Songs & Cinematography are poor & nothing keeps you engaged as such, though again it has Kishore Kumar as one of the singers but nothing is memorable.
Finally, I would not recommend this movie as such but if you are a sort of fan of either Sanjay Dutt or Amrish Puri, you may have a watch...
Jab Se Tumhe Dekha Hai (1963)
Predictable Story ...
This one is watchable for Pradeep as he was a fine actor in the gone era of Classical or 'Good will persist at the end' type Indian Cinema. Others including Gita Bali in Mohini's role & Saigal had done a decent job though not impressive. This movie also includes a guest appearance by Kapoor clans namely Rishi & Shammy for a Qubbali Song which again not a memorable one.
The sequences in the beginning are loosely connected & hardly make any narration of the story. Though the star cast also includes 'Mohan choti' & Agha, but the script cant be considered as a comedy but a drama with some of the best known 'tried & trusted clichés' of Indian Cinema. The story- line is quite predictable & the end has been elongated with useless car & bike chases.
All the songs are just fine albeit not memorable. In a nutshell, I would say if you can sustain with such a drama, you can have a watch.
Main Wohi Hoon (1966)
Good attempt but lacks flow..
I saw this movie as to see how murder mysteries were dealt in Bollywood during 70's. Though it starts with an interesting murder mystery but then looses its charm as the movie progresses. The songs are below average & the acting of almost all characters are not impressive. At the end, certain questions still remain unanswered that baffles the viewer very much. It seems the story line was fine but the direction didn't deal it properly. The length of the movie doesn't seem adequate as many fight sequences have been elongated. All & all I would say to have low expectations with this movie if you are a kinda murder mystery movie lover.
