I...Your opinions on this seem about right to me... I agree that the hit song is great, the movie is uneven. <br /><br />The best film with Vyjayanthimala in it - among those I've seen - is Naya Daur. But I think Kath Putli has more fantastic dancing, and it's probably my personal favorite. Vyjayanthimala did some great dancing and acting in Sadhna. I'd also recommend anything with both Vyjayanthimala and Padmini (who is my favorite dancer-actress of all time)... They do the best dance competition of all time in the Tamil film Vanjikottai Valiban. They're also together in Amar Deep, which puts them in a sort of triangle with Dev Anand. <br /><br />All the ones I just mentioned came out in 1957 or '58. There are a few earlier, uneven ones but with very good music - Bahar (her first Hindi movie - made in 1951, when she was 15) and Nagin (1954). And yes, New Delhi (which came out in '56) is another one that is uneven but still pretty good. <br /><br />I'll stop there :) ...Richard S.http://roughinhere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-88069631701932249632009-05-11T04:10:00.000+03:002009-05-11T04:10:00.000+03:00I'm so glad you linked to Eena Mena Deeka...I seem...I'm so glad you linked to Eena Mena Deeka...I seem to only hear that song in other movies (the restaurant scene in Dil Chahta Hai and as a background remixed track in Bluffmaster).

Anyhoo, I've been sidetracked from my Vyjaya fandom lately--with a stack of unwatched DVDs taunting me--but some of my favorites so far have been Jewel Thief, Amrapali, New Delhi (another uneven but cute film with Kishore), and Hatey Bazarey (a Bengali social drama with Ashok Kumar).filmifannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-61715290891896044902009-04-05T21:40:00.000+03:002009-04-05T21:40:00.000+03:00I enjoyed reading your review, I'm a big fan of V...I enjoyed reading your review, I'm a big fan of Vyjayanthimala as well, i watched my first Vyjayanthimala movie last month as well and i fell in love instantly.
