Three Classic Films by Gulzar: Insights Into the Films

Three Classic Films by Gulzar provides insights into the making of three of Gulzar's films: Aandhi, Angoor, and Ijaazat. While for Aandhi, author Saba M Bashir does a close textual analysis of the film, examining in detail its stellar cast, the language and dialogues, and the evergreen songs, for Angoor, Sathya Saran traces the evolution of a comic tale which was an adaption of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. In the third, Mira Hashmi highlights how Gulzar's skill as a storyteller is exemplified by his complex characters in the film and how it benefited immensely from R.D Burman's poignant musical score. All three draw on Gulzar's own and some of the actors' memories from during the making of these films
