Kites (2010)

Kites has made Bollywood attain a completely different level, much higher than any other movie has ever been able to reach before. As many skeptics would want to argue, Kites was anything but Indian.

Burman Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shailendra Capsule Review: A film about mistaken identity starring the debonair Dev Anand cast as look­alikes.

Cast: Ashok Kumar, Madhubala Director: Kamal Amrohi Music: Khemchand Prakash Lyrics: Nakshab Capsule Review: A turning point in the career of both the ‘ghost’ Madhubala and her ghost-voice Lata Mangeshkar, Mahal has become synonymous with the supremely sonorous Aayega aanewala song that gave birth to the cult of ethereal and melodious spirits haunting heroes of ...

Cast: Biswajeet,Waheeda Rehman, Lalita Pawar Director: Hiren Nag Music: Hemant Kumar Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Capsule Review: Kohraa featured the ethereal Waheeda Rehman as the mysterious rake Biswajeet’s second wife who’s haunted by his dead wife. The chilling ambience was sublimated by the producer Hemant Kumar’s vintage music. Songs like Lata Mangeshkar’s Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat ...
