Oonche Log (1985)
Oonche Log - A Classic Film with Excellent music and better remake
23 July 2011
Oonche Log is much better in terms of storyline plot, music, performances by the actor in leading role ie.Rajesh Khanna and character actors like Danny, Prem Chopra, Pradeep Kumar , Priti Sapru, Deven Varma than its predecessors like Wuthering Lights and the boring Dil Diya Dard Liya. The Dilip Kumar starring film had lots of mistakes in the plot -how the people agree that Dilip Kumar' character is the long lost king, the mood swings in the hero etc. Oonche Log had all its songs composed by R.D.Burman as big hits but the movie flopped at the box office as Khanna had total 11 films as the lead hero releasing in 1985 and additional 3 films had him in special appearance.If there was some weakness in this film it was Salma Agha's acting, her brown hair and her slim body which does not look nice when she wears sarees but her playback voice suits the mood of the film.Another classic starring Rajesh Khanna in the lead role.May be Tina Munim or Ponnam Dhillon must have been cast opposite Khanna instead of expressionless Salma Agha.Also Khanna did not get along with Agha by the end of the shooting days as he did not like her work.This movie must be telecast more often in TV else a classic will be missed by viewers.
