jarhfive Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hello, I know some contributers to this forum (re: "Bollywood101") MUST be fans of the India film industry. This note is in regard to the film "Pakeezah". I enjoyed the presentation of the film on TCM so much, I bought a DVD of "Pakeezah". Too bad the thing looks like a possible bootleg--presents like a camcorder recording in a movie house. Plus, continuity is a problem--parts of the movie seem missing. Whatever, the DVD retains (in its entirety) the truly remarkable musical sequence of the 'famed dance girl' tempting a rich client--mesmerizing indeed! To the subject of this query. What is your opinion of "Pakeezah" and, more specifically, do you think this is the ideal introduction to "Bollywood" movies? Note: I think a later DVD release was authorized by the studio and may not exhibit the problems of my DVD. Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
