In how many ways do we love Shakespeare’s paean to love about the doomed alliance between two socially unequal lovers? I am not too sure how far back the co-directors of Sanam Teri Kasam (Stk), this week’s love-lorn saga would like us to go? Is it Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet or Erich Segal’s Love Story?
Either way, Stk is a winsome nugget on love romance and heartbreak with two very watchable newcomers helming the rapturous emotions, navigating the nifty numbers (Himesh Reshammiya) and namkeen dialogues through a coherently charted route to a tragic finale.
A charming simplicity and an arcadian innocence runs through Sanam Teri Kasam, a film far superior in its aspirations and achievements than its namesake released in 1982.
If first impressions are the last, then the moment the film’s leading man Harshvardhan Rane walks into the frame you know you are watching a thoughtful...

Sadhana Shivdasani, or Sadhana, as she was famously known in Hindi cinema, passed away quietly on Friday Christmas day December 25 at the Hinduja hospital in Mumbai. She lived and died a recluse. Luckily, she had a nephew with her when she passed away. I remember the one time that I managed to interview her. She was reluctant to talk and after a few questions quickly excused herself saying she had to rush to the bank. Sadhana was the ultimate enigma. No wonder, director Raj Khosla repeatedly cast her as the mystery woman in Woh Kaun Thi, Mera Saaya and Anita. In the late 1950s and throughout 1960s, Sadhana excelled in roles that required a naturalistic approach. This, at a time when Indian mainstream cinema required exaggerated drama. Says Sanjay Leela Bhansali, "Sadhanji preferred mellow drama to melodrama. Her performance in films like Bimal Roy's Parakh, Dev Anand's...

Everyone loves a Cinderella story and one that has a ghastly family, a spunky heroine, and one Prince Charming who can be a bit of a dope some of the time! The film, which introduced the lovely Sadhana to the screen, is one of the most fun and charming romances of the 60s. Love in Simla was one of the biggest hits of 1960 and deservedly so, the sparkling repartee and gorgeous cinematography makes it a gem to enjoy even now.
Unlike most Cinderellas who are the docile type, Sadhana plays the plucky and feisty heroine Sonia. She’s the unlucky orphan living with her genial uncle (Kishore Sahu), his tart-tongued wife (Shobhana Samarth), and their beautiful but vain daughter Sheela (Azra). They live in luxury in their Simla mansion, while relying on Sonia as their servant and as a burden. Simla was once the summer playground during the colonial period,...
