This 3 pack DVD has two great blockbusters from the Golden era namely Chhalia (1960)and China Town(1962), although the other film Dayar-E-Madina , a muslim social relatively little known.. Chhalia has an impressive star cast of Raj Kapoor, Nutan, Rehman and Pran ,and an equally impressive music score by composers Kalyanji Anandji. Chhalia is by no means one of Nutan's best films, in fact it compares poorly with the Raj kapoor-Nutan starrer 'Anadi' ...the story line is a bit complicated at times, with too many twists and turns...but the music is pleasing especially Mukesh songs'Dum dum diga diga ' 'Chalia mera naam and 'Mere toote hue dil mein.. and Lata's 'Tere rahon mein khade hai ' and 'Baje paayal cham cham'....worth watching a great actress like Nutan in any film, and picturisation of the melodious songs...
Coming to China Town..Shammi Kapoor-Shakila starrer, directed by Shakti Samantha who gave us classics like Howrah Bridge,Sawan ki Ghata,Aradhana, Amar Prem... I love this film for its foot tapping and melodious music by Ravi..Baar baar dekho, Hum se na poocho hum kahan chale, Kya teri mehfil hai sanam, Bada qatil hai...and of course Shammi Kapoor An action packed thriller, like his previous films, Shakthi samantha manages to keep one interested throughout.Shakila and Shammi Kapoor look good together and the rest of the star cast includes Helen,Madan puri and Jeevan kala..Not to be missed by any Shammi kapoor fan. The third film Dayar e Madina is a relatively little known 1975 film , a muslim social, which has a star cast of Nazima, Hina Kauser,Tabrez and Imtiaz, all of them not well known actors except Nazima, who has made a mark for herself in excellent supporting roles . The Music is by Mohammad D Shafi, who has scored impressive music for older films like Dara,Shikarpuri and Bazoobund... I would definitely buy this DVD as it has 2 classics in Chhalia and China town..
