Aradhana | Movie Review

Synopsis: 

Air Force pilot Arun and the lovely Vandana marry in secret after a brief courtship. But when Arun perishes in a plane crash, the heartbroken and pregnant Vandana must fend for herself and her child. Featuring the tunes "Mere sapno ki rani," "Chanda Hai Tu" and "Roop tera mastana," 

Starring: 

• Sharmila Tagore 
• Rajesh Khanna
• Sujit Kumar
• Madan Puri
• Pahadi Sanyal 
• Anita Gohal
• Abhi Bhattacharya 
• Asit Sen
• Sitaram Manmohan
• Farida Jalal
• Subhash Ghai 

Grade: B+

Fantastic music and a dashing leading man aside, the main reason why Aradhana works is perhaps because of the wonderful story line and direction. Though this movie is more often remembered for shooting Rajesh Khanna into the big league, its Sharmila Tagore's subdued portrayal of Vandana Tripathi that stays with you. 

She richly deserved her Filmfare award for Best actress for this role. Farida Jalal and Madan Puri too chip in with good supporting performances. But of course the real winner here is the music, chart busters all of them. 

Must watch to know what Bollywood was once capable of yielding before inanities set in.

Rating: PG 13
