Dulal Guha's Do Anjaane was one of the first movies Amitabh and Rekha worked together on. The story explores greed, ruthlessness and revenge. Rakha plays a girl who get married to Amitabh a middle class well to doer, she wants to be a star and always finds herself drawn down by Amitabhs modesty and reluctance to move to a higher stauts in life.
Cue Prem Chopra, Amitabh's friend from youth, who is rich and dresses very lets say extrovertly (its quite hilarious!) He enters both their lives and starts throwing around his money and exploits Rekhas weakness. How the story continues is a fascinating watch.
The film has it's usual fair of songs and dances but it has a very distinct story to tell, and which was quite unique in the times of its release. Amitabh's drunk scene when he's at home I believe to be his best drunk scene yes even better than Amar Akbar Anthony which was released around a year later! As far as performances go Amitabh againis immaculate his transition as middle class struggling husband to suave and calculating film producer is fantastically portrayed by the artiste. Rekha is great and show good emotion and greed. Prem Chopra I believe is hugely underrated as a villain, he might not be Amjad Khan or Amrish Puri type of villain, because he's different. He different in the way that he very sly, manipulative and likes stirring the pot and was the best guy at doing so, and to try to cover things he becomes sincere again.
Thoroughly recommended movie, great entertainment!
