amitabh bachcan::Mili is a cheerful, sunny girl living with her aunt and uncle in one of the many apartments in the hirise.Shekhar is a rather wealthy young man who has just moved into the penthouse and has no desire to interact with his neighbors.
Not just a traumatic event, in as familyoriented, socially conservative society as he is in, this is a stigma that pursues him every day.
Neither of the leads is portrayed as at all glamorous.
Jaya always had a more everyday beauty, and here, dressed in strictly average clothes, no glam makeup, she literally is and looks like the girl next door.
Amitabh has certainly worn snazzy and eyepopping seventies clothes, but here, once again, he is dressed entirely unremarkably.
And the movie is severely lacking in melodrama.
And yet, it made me cry and cry.
Probably precisely because of all of the above.
The plot of it is pretty simple.
This movie is startlingly onetrack.
Jaya and amitabh have awesome chemistry and while amitabh never was known for portraying romantic leads, he is wonderful in this movie: all wounded, and young, and ultimately, wonderfully romantic.
And i love their pushpull relationship.
And the next morning, they pretend to do a palmreading and he tells her that he is bad and to stay away.
Or the scene where shekhar opens up to mili about his mother.
To open up, to experience joy.
Of course, that is why the ending is so worrying to me, as i mentioned upthread.
I cannot recommend this highly enough.
