  • Bobby [1973]Bobby | DVD | (20/08/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £10.99

    Directed by India's master storyteller Raj Kapoor, 1973's Bobby signalled the end of an era of action and patriotic-themed films and the entrance of romance into Bollywood. With its unforgettable songs, vibrant imagery and powerfully sensitive handling of the story, it set a precedent for all subsequent love stories in Indian Cinema, and also marked the debut of celebrated actress Dimple Kapadia who, with her innocent looks and daring outfits, stole the hearts of Indian men. Bobby is the story of Raj (Rishi Kapoor), the poor little rich boy who has everything but the love and attention he craves, and Bobby (Dimple Kapadia), the granddaughter of his old maid in whom he finds love and support. Interwoven with this innocent love story are the very real issues of modern India's social and class inequalities as the film explores the theme of relationships versus wealth. The two sets of parents, with their social and financial differences, make it impossible for the young lovers to be together. What follows is a touching tale of how the pair fights society and their parents, proving that love does conquer all and that a big bank balance does not automatically provide respectability. On the DVD: Bobby on disc is presented in Hindi with English subtitles. Sound is remastered 5.1 Dolby Digital. The special features include excerpts from recent Yashraj Film classics such as Mohabbatein and Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge. --Anika Puri

  • C.I.D. [1956]C.I.D. | DVD | (20/08/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

    Noir, Indian style: that in a nutshell is Raj Khosla's classic crime thriller C.I.D. (1956). Dev Anand plays the intrepid C.I.D Inspector Shekhar who is trying to solve the murder of a newspaper editor. On the way to achieving this he comes across a variety of stock film noir characters including a do-gooder with a dark side, a vamp with a heart of gold and a bumbling sidekick. All the elements of the genre are present, from the enigmatic woman to the cigarette-puffing hero to the tough police commissioner. And of course our hero finds true love as well. Produced by cult actor/director Guru Dutt, C.I.D. is a worthy companion piece to the Dutt-directed hit Baazi (1951) which explored similar territory. Cinematographer VK Murthy, who is now revered as one of the best ever, creates a shadowy, smoky world that perfectly frames the on-screen happenings. What makes it uniquely Indian is the introduction of several popular songs that enhance rather than disrupt the narrative. The suave Dev Anand is more of a soft-boiled detective than a hard-boiled one. But what makes the film memorable is Waheeda Rehman's vamp who is as coy, sexy and mysterious as they come. On the DVD: C.I.D. on DVD comes with a note that says "reproduced from vintage source for the sake of nostalgic appeal, hence possibly compromising on quality". Happily, the quality is quite good barring a couple of dropouts near the beginning. The black and white transfer is not as crisp as it could be, but given the state of film preservation in India it is quite acceptable. The subtitles are accurate. The best feature on the DVD is Nasreen Munni Kabir's three-part Channel 4 documentary "In Search of Guru Dutt" which is a comprehensive and fascinating look into the life and work of C.I.D.'s producer. --Nanan Ramachandran
