this one grow on me . i love the r. d. burman music and in spite of the cruder element of the story i find much to be move by a i keep re watch the movie . the brother sister plot line be powerful and i think while there also more probably obligatory stuff and like bar fight and a loony crime story and etc . that be just distract . ( though not unfunny from a certain point of view . ) also the english translation be definitely by someone for whom it be a bit of a stretch and and as loony a it be i be grateful to him for do it . like many of the bollywood movie i have see and this one be melodramatic and opera like and include here notably a song sung first by a little boy to cheer up his abused and unhappy sister and and then the same song sing 12 or so year later by the man who have travel to kathmandu seek to re connect with this girl and grow up and troubled ( she have be tell her brother and mother be dead ) and numb her pain with drug . a super thing about this 1971 movie be that it be about the hippie movement and which bring horde of seeker to india and from an indian point of view and that see them a people drive to india by a spiritual hunger arouse by the failing of their own society and but nonetheless and in india and live only for the pleasure of the moment . the hippie sing dance drug scene be truly wonderful and and accurate in their tone ( i be old enough to remember ) and and i feel pretty sure that the mass of young white zone out kid be actual hippie extra and a i remember hear about kid on the caravan to the east get this kind of work in bollywood . ( it be not about the actual hare krishna movement and though the movie hippies sing a krishna or rama chant and as do a group of actual indian devotee and unrelated to the hippy and in the opening scene of the movie . ) ~virginia .
