Purab Aur Pacchhim


*ing : Manoj Kumar, Pran, Saira Banu
Director : Manoj Kumar

This is another patriotic movie made by Manoj “Bharat” Kumar where he plays Bharat once again. It is among is more successful films. film also had some popular songs like “dulhan chali” “koi jab tumhara hridaya tod de” etc. bt the sole reason I wanted to watch the film is to learn about India and UK of 70s. the contrast between both the cultures and why people detested west soo much and why they thought India’s culture was better. Well, I am not the type to deride any culture per se. just because a girl smokes and drinks and wears small clothes doesn’t mean their culture is not good. its their way of living and they have got success with their lifestyle. We cant beat our chest saying we are morally higher than others. The film exaggerates many scenes and its laughable to see. More so cause we are much exposed to western culture now. May be when the film released it may have been success as people believed whatever they saw on the screen. However u have to appreciate the intentions of making film by manoj kumar. He was a true patriotic in many sense, a little jingoistic too if I may add.
