I have always appreciated movies that depict true human relationships and emotions, and Gulzar is one of the best at bringing these elements to the big screen. Although some people may consider flashbacks to be a thing of the past, Gulzar uses them so beautifully that even after almost 25 years, I cannot recall any other movie that blends the past and present as seamlessly as he does - it's his signature style.
I have watched all of Gulzar's films, and I believe that Ijaazat stands out the most. Rekha, who is a talented actress with both beauty and brains, does an incredible job in this complex role. I cannot imagine anyone else playing this character - only Rekha could have pulled it off so well. The way she portrays the role of a mature wife who keeps her home a HOME is simply remarkable. She has some beautiful dialogues, such as "aadate bhi chali jati hai, adhikar nahi jate," which are delivered so wonderfully in the film.
There are so many things in the movie that I could write about, but one of the standout features is Naseer's perfect portrayal of his role. You can truly feel that he is in love with both women, and this emotional attraction between the characters is what sets this film apart from others in Hindi cinema. The movie's locations, such as Mahinder's house and Sudha's house, are beautifully shot and add to the film's overall charm.
The only regret I have is the quality of the print, which has no clarity and makes it difficult to watch nowadays. However, I strongly believe that some filmmakers should never stop making films, and Gulzar is one of them. This timeless classic will be appreciated more and more by future generations, and it's a shame that more movies like this are not being made today.
