): and Swaroop and his cameraman use interesting camera angles and shadows to highlight both the tension between people and Kumar’s own internal suffering (oh, and my very favorite home decor staple appears too): The acting is competent from everyone except Shotgun (but his overacting is quite entertaining in itself, it being him); and as I said, Amitabh is compelling as the brooding artist choosing the wrong path despite himself. She has promised her uncle that he could choose her husband (they seem to have had a complete communication breakdown on this point) and she wants Kumar’s help: she has fallen in love and needs her uncle to understand. I forget the Helen number completely.

I looked for it after your comment yesterday and watched it on YouTube yesterday. He is just a couple of years short of becoming the breathtaking hero he was destined to be, but his charisma and acting abilities shine through his youth and relative inexperience. She and Sarita happily conspire to push Rajesh and Asha together, until Kumar’s machinations draw the blossoming romance to an abrupt (albeit temporary) close. They grow-up so quickly. She rushes home to find Mr. Varma in perfectly good health, and Kumar ready and waiting to escort her to a friend’s engagement party (and though he comes to the airport to watch her disembark, he doesn’t meet her or give her a ride home). I am not so sure. Or may be it has become watchable now, with the benefit of hindsight. For example Karan Johar’s production Kapoor and Sons, has a gay angle in it. Upon investigation, however, the police discover that Varma was strangled to death, and that Kumar was on the train to Calcutta at the time of the murder and his supposed phone call to Rajesh. However I do have a suggestion (and I may not be the first one on this-so forgive me) but your tagline says “I watch old hindi films so you don’t have to” However-you never reveal the ending, so it falls short of the promise-because how else would you know what happens without watching the movie? The whole ‘howdunit’ still boggles my mind. I knew that this movie was a flop and that sent Amitabh Bachchan’s career further into tailspin, before getting rescued by “Zanjeer”(1973). Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. I liked the story immensely. He finally kills Ashok Verma and frames Rajeshwar in the hope of winning Asha's love.

Movie flopped and that affected Madan Mohan of course, since most of his movies, despite stellar music in them tended to flop. Despite it being her uncle’s handwriting, Asha knows that Rajesh is not guilty and stands by him as the trial begins.

Yes, Thsi was one of my fav 70s murder mysteries..given whet they were.. Johnny Gaddar did a tribute to it where in a cop asks Neil Nitin Mukesh ” parwana dekha kya?” regarding the modus operandi of the crime. @Memsaab, where have you been? Excellent re-telling of parwana story. I saw the movie in 1975, and was amazed, Kumar realises that Rajeshwar will always remain Asha's love. The songs of this movie are great. Arey hasne walon.. Link given below. Our first intimation that Kumar may be creepier than he appears on the surface (besides his obvious belief that Asha is Varma’s property to do with what he will) comes quickly, when he sends an anonymous telegram to Asha—on vacation in Ooty—telling her that her uncle is very ill and she needs to return home immediately. Amit was so young and earnest here. It is always good to be magically teleported back to the era when I was just about 9- 10 years old. When Rajesh sends a proposal of marriage to Uncleji, Varma accepts it with delight as he knows it will make Asha happy (he has spotted Rajesh’s photograph in her room). When he refuses, Kumar plots to kill him. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. Brilliant song. When Kumar finds out, he goes to Asha's uncle, Ashok Verma (Om Prakash) and demands Asha's hand in marriage. But the later had a creative differences with the director and hence Madan Mohan was roped in.The lyrics were penned by Kaifi Azmi. In any case, Kamla’s mother Sarita (Lalita Pawar), Kamla herself, and brother Rajesh (Navin Nischol) are thrilled to have someone new to bestow it on; and Rajesh is obviously smitten with Asha. reply.

The tagline on the DVD cover caught my eye first: “A Murder Plan That Forced Indian Railways To Change Their Train Timing!” I am not sure that Indian Railways actually did worry that much about murders galore being unleashed on the Indian public, but it was enough to attract me. YES, that song where Yogeeta is playing a prank on her friend by wearing a burka and Amitabh is in disguise is wonderful. So the dope(kumar)would stoop to such levels for a broad!,it’s lucky for him that jaya is so mild.You’re right he’s a creep who cultivates tawdry pusillanimity. Ha! Kumar boards and exits various modes of transportation to avoid any possibilities of suspicion by creating an alibi.

His mischievous sister is happy to egg things on. Its been about half a year. I saw this movie when in 1970 when it was freshly minted, and was hugely entertained. It was very silly indeed and more than a little boring (I don’t think subtitles would have helped either) although it was lovely to see Laxmi and the flying jeep was good fun! PS: all the comments on young Amitabh remind me of young Shammi (with Nalini Jaywant) before he had developed his particular image and mannerisms…’balle o balle’! How did Kumar pull this frame-up off? The sequence of Kumar's use of various modes of transportation was an inspiration for the 2007 Bollywood film Johnny Gaddaar, where it is shown that the film's protagonist has watched the film Parwana and does the same to avoid suspicion. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Navin Nischol, Yogeeta Bali, Om Prakash and Shatrughan Sinha. While I might have simply run screaming, Asha calmly tries to let him down easy and seems convinced that she has done so.

Another Memsaab review of a movie- I was pleasantly surprised to see this review and I quite enjoyed it. you may find this 71 flick – Man Mandir – interesting.

The music of this song was its major highlight. The music by Madan Mohan was so lilting and catchy. Plus, Varma had asked his buddy Mr. Ghosh to investigate the allegations he had received in the letter from Bangalore, and Ghosh says nothing about it or the mysterious “confirmation” Varma supposedly received from someone else. Though I am saving ‘Parvana’ for a rainy day which in PhD life is yet-another-‘bad-writing’-day ;) I think I’ll be “hanging out” with you a lot now that I’ve found you. :). Proto-Amitabh describes it perfectly! I have no recollection of that scene, but worth looking for! Most of the prominent singers of the industry have lent their voice in the soundtrack of this movie, like Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle. Secondly, thanks for the blog!! Another fun outing by proto-Amitabh. Of course the title refers to the proverbial (and often sung- and written-about) moth that is drawn to a flame, leading to a disastrous ending for the moth…at one point in the story, Kumar actually holds his hand over an open flame to prove how much he loves Asha. Yeah, the tagline for this movie had me interested as well, although I doubt the veracity of it. Poor Kumar isn’t helped by the fact that Asha herself falls sadly short in the empathy department. They come too far apart, really. I used to stalk your website to read entertaining reviews. It is a very fine howdunit film. Another Bollywood Film Johnny Gaddar was highly inspired by this film of Amitabh Bachchan. I am thrilled to see Abhi Bhattacharya as a police inspector and Shatrughan Sinha as the gleefully courtroom-scenery-chewing prosecutor.

The modus operandi of murder has been higely inspired by a murder committed in a short story “An Extra Passenger” written by Stephen Grendon in 1947.

Kumar has long nursed an unspoken (to Asha anyway) love for her, but Varma is a “modern” guy who feels that Asha should choose her own husband, and he has said as much to Kumar whenever the painfully shy Kumar brings up the subject of marriage to Asha. Parwana (lit. The period style is of course a favorite of mine (look at these outfits! The story of unrequited love preceding the howdunit has always been relevant across different periods and it provides our man Amitabh a solid motive for the crime. Asha wins a trip to Ooty in a dance competition, and falls in love with a wealthy tea plantation owner, Rajeshwar (Navin Nischol).

As her story ends, Asha seems oblivious to Kumar’s distress at her confession (he puffs away furiously on one cigarette after another while pacing back and forth in front of her). I’m quite fond of the songs in this one, especially (or should that be naturally?) One can find new things to look at in a movie when it is reviewed by you.
