Pakeezah (1972)
Director: Kamal Amrohi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This popular musical suggests that, at its best, the much-scorned commercial product of 'Hollywood-Bombay' is equally extraordinary in its own way. A byzantine story (of star-crossed lovers) that proceeds fitfully through the fabulous logic of dreams; luscious colour-scope photography, and a febrile camera craning and tracking restlessly through fairytale locations and sets; and never even a single screen kiss, but instead some of the most brazenly erotic songs and dances you'll ever see on film.Author: SJo
