It appeal to me since the first time I saw it. It was interesting the way the parents despise each other and use that against the lovers and also the caste/language barrier. I find Kamal Hassan very lovable and endearing. The songs helped big time too.

my take would be that at least every decade had at least 5 top movies that are memorable...
some of the golden oldies were great; as Jis desh mein Ganga behti hai, Nagin, Ganga Jumna-film in Bihar w/Bhojpuri, Rani Roopmati, Bhabhi, Kohinoor,Aan,Aah,Barsaat,,,,
but my fave of all times:
Mother India - dharti songs
Sanyasi-one special song
Pakeeza-all songs
Kabhi Kabhi, title song
Ek duje ke liya-tere mere beech mein
too many movies wid too much heart songs.. strongman

Those will be definately in. along with Sangam, Mera Naam Joker, Haathi Mere Saathi, Chotti Bahen, Khandaan, these were all tear jerkers, Ek Phool Do Mali, Dhool Ka Phool, and so many more.

Aha, I know that I am going to catch you, you are thinking from Waqt "Ai Meri Zohra Jabeen" by Manna Dey.
The song " 'laga chunari mein daag'" by Manna Dey was taken from the Raj Kapoor starer "Dil Hi Tu Hai"

Hey RQ Waqt from the 60's deserves to be on the list, it is one that I have on DVD and I always go to that one song.

Since my Indian movie experience startyed wirth Beti Beta in the early 60s, I've been hard-pressed to rank the movies.

I would have to say that for all-around entertainment Sholay has to rank up there. For court-room drama Waqt is one. Neel Kamal deserves some mention. For life's dramas for their periods, I have to go with Khabie Khabie, Abhimaan and Silsila. Life in a Metro would take its place one day.

What about the secret agent era Farz or the supernatural piece Woh Kaun Thi?

The mention of Ek duje ke liye jolted my memory of Kamal Hassan and some wonderful acting at that time.

For a movie with outstanding music, I have to go with Dosti, while my all-time favorite song is Sohani Raat from Dulari.

Answering the top 5 movie question is quite an exercise. I'm glad it was brought up. Buit what I'd like to see discussed is the Bollywood Dr. Zhivago or Godfather or Ghandi. Recent adaptations of western classics - Omkara and Saawaria - were not bad.
Kari
"9 hours to Rama" - now that's a movie that rings a bell. I will have to get my hands on it.

As we're on the topic of "best 5", we should have a ranking for best natural dancer. For contemporary actors I can think of Hritick Roshan as the best male dancer and the two girls, Aishwaria Bachan and Mdhuri Dixit as being the best female ones.

Year:...........1955

Lyrics:.........Shakeel Badayuni

chale aaj tum jahaan se, huyee zindagee paraayee
You leave this world today, my life is not mine anymore
tumhen mil gayaa tikaanaa, humein maut bhee na aayee
You found your niche, I didnt even find death

o dhoor ke musaafir, hum ko bhi saath le le re
o traveller to a far place, take me along
hum ko bhi saath le le, hum rahe gaye akele
take me along I am left all alone
o dhoor ke musaafir, hum ko bhi saath le le re
o traveller to a far place, take me along
hum ko bhi saath le le,hum rahe gaye akele
take me along I am left all alone

thoone wo de diyaa gum, bemauth mar gaye hum
you gave me such a grief, I died without dying
dil ut gayaa jahaan se, (le chal humein yahaan se)2
My heart wants none of this world, take me away from here
kis kaam ki ye duniyaa jo zindagee se khele re
I want nothing of this world, the world that plays with your life]
hum ko bhi saath le le, hum rahe gaye akele
take me along I am left all alone

sooni hai dil ki raahein, khaamosh hain nigaahein
[b]deserted are the paths of my heart, vacant is my sight

naakaam hasraton kaa (utane ko hai janaazaa)2
Now is the funeral of my unfulfilled dreams
chaaron tharaf lage hain, barabaadiyon ke mele re
devastation all around me
hum ko bhi saath le le, hum rahe gaye akele
take me along I am left all alone

o dhoor ke musaafir, hum ko bhi saath le le re
o traveller to a far place, take me along
hum ko bhi saath le le, hum rahe gaye akele
take me along I am left all alone

REVIEWS FOR BABUL

Babul (1950)
Plot Summary
Major commercial hit recounting a love triangle in a feudal household between the handsome new postman Ashok (Kumar), Bela (Nargis),the old postman's vivacious daughter and Usha (Sultana), the haughty daughter of the zamindar. Ashok teaches Usha music until Bela warns her to keep away from her man. Usha withdraws and promises to marry a man of her father's choice. One of the most formally elaborate romance dramas of the 50s ...( show more ) Hindi films. Babul's tragic end forms part of the unusual plot departure of the heroine and who,indeed, remains out of sympathy with the audience for the better part of the film.

When it turns out that both women have been betrayed by the hero and by their fathers, the film shifts into a completely subjective style,locating the man and two women in three distinct spaces, even separated in one shot by a gigantic wal. In the end, Usha's wedding procession escalates into a whole sequence of tragedies. Bela, in a deranged fit,falls from a tree and is fatally injured, though she insists that Ashok marry her, which he does,minutes before she dies. her death is shown by a medieval horseman descending from the skies to receive her,as the smoke from her cremation merges with the clock.
