Review of Baghban

Baghban (2003)
7/10
Original movie -- Badi Pantulu in Telugu (NTR, Anjali Devi and Sridevi)

Yes the film was an aesthetic success. I just loved the wonderful chemistry between Hemaji and Amitji. Hemaji looked better than any of her previous films I have seen. It is not just the beauty. It is that she lived that life for the span of this shooting, I felt. If everything is the same but without Hemaji in the film, I'm not sure of the product.

I wondering if the creators gave credit to the Telugu film makers anywhere in the credits, because I have not seen it. If they did not, FYI, this is lifted from a Telugu movie; completely, including the phone (there was a cute song -- by then baby Sridevi, that we all Telugu people adored); I wish the producers and director acknowledged the fact that this is remake of NTR and Anjali Devi film, Badi Pantulu (1972). Even the role played by Salman is not a new idea.

This is like the lifting Khilona, Kora Kagaj or many others in the past, as well. I thought, I just mention that.

However, I must tell you, the Hindi remake is made in a grandiose scale. Awesome!
