Pakeezah (1972)
8/10
Pakeezah = Pure
31 March 2014
Pakeezah Was Directed By Kamal Amrohi...Who Was Known For His Perfectionism....It Was Produced & Written Again By Him... Screenplay Is Fine With The Script...

Story is About Sahibjaan Who Was Brought Up By Brothel Madame Nawabjaan.... She Grows Up & Becomes Popular Dancer/Singer.... Forest Ranger Salim is Enthralled By Her Beauty & Innocence, Convinces Her To Elope With Him But Trials And Tribulations Await As She is Recognized By Men Wherever She Goes With Salim.... When He Renames Her Pakeezah (Pure) Takes Her To A Priest To Be Legally Married, She Refuses, Returns To The Brothel..The Story Moves Further...

Meena Kumari As Sahibjaan Is Best Part Of The Movie....She Is Brilliant With Acting & Dancing...Raj Kumar As Salim Is Fine ...He Is Good In Few Of The Scenes....Veena As Nawabjaan Does Well..

Music Is Composed By Ghulam Mohammad & Naushad....Ghulam Mohammad Died During The Making Of The Movie So Naushad Was In...It Has Some Classic Dance Numbers Like "Chalte Chalte" By Lata,"Inhi Logon Ne" By Lata,"Thare Rahiyo" By Lata.....

Overall A Great Movie...It Took 14 Years To Complete The Movie...Many Changes Took Place During The Making But Final Output Was Brilliant ...The Film, Which Had Been Declared A Flop When First Released, Became A Success....Today Considered A Classic...Must Watch :)
