First thing first, KHUSHBOO is a PERIOD film, based upon the story of Sharat Chandra Chatterjee. So no new definitions can be imposed on the characterisation/s. It is set in an old time and hence has to be seen in that manner only.

Once selected a story, the thing which matters is the fact how convincingly a director has shown his chosen story. Story may not look convincing in a period film because times are changed but good directors have that skill where they keep grip on the visual story telling factor and audiences are soaked deeply in to the visual watching of the film and whether story is feasible in the present circumstances or not, ceases to matter for audiences.

Practices like Childhood marriages or fixing the marriages for children are not in the fashion now a days but this absence can not stop audience to enjoy the films …

KL Saigal (KLS) also belong to the precious list of those rare people who did not need long life to prove their worth among Billions of people on earth. KLS did live only for 43 years but he has left behind such a great contribution to the field of music that till people, who understand music, will be coming on earth, his songs will remain immortal. Such a great voice, such a crystal clear pronunciation of the words and such a devotion and involvement to the music is seldom seen.

KLS sang around 100 songs in Hindi films and still he has been recognised as a legend of legends and not by the ordinary music listeners only but by the legends themselves.
For big and accomplished singers, musicians and audiences having refined taste in music, KLS has been their singer …

Padosan is a sure shot killer of sad and depressive mood. With the height of buffoonery, but a classy one, involved in the film, its success rate as a mood enhancer is very high.

Padosan is to enjoy and laugh without any inhibition.

Padosan has got good dialogues and lyrics by famous poet and author Rajendra Krishan, good acting by Kishoir Kumar, Mehmood, Sunil Dutt, Om Prakash and Saira Bano and other actors, good music by R D Burman and good direction by Jyoti Swaroop. Jyoti Swaroop has got a good thriller film Parwana also to his credit.

Padosan is a gift of Producer Mehmood to the hindi cine lovers.

Mehmood was one of the first persons who gave independent charge to R D Burman to create music for his films in 60s.

Just 5-10 minutes in to the film and a wonderful song is there….
