Rajesh Khanna is the dashing central character who is married to Sharmila Tagore in a blissfully romantic marriage,their middle class Indian haven is interrupted by an impulsive offense by mr.Khanna and he is sentenced to death in a court case,but he escapes miraculously and is presumed dead by the judiciary and his family. Its the subsequent story that is the true trump card, where Khanna ensues a new life away from his wife and child within a newer more successful surrounding,and the director has appropriately made use of Khanna and his subtle acting style. The plot has some very intriguing twists and it has an interesting take on typical male behaviour under duress which Khanna conveys with his facial expressions alone and the ambivalent nature of love itself is psychologically explored between the sexes,mister Chopra has interrupted his script with six joyously wondrous songs,composed by the duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal, ranging from love duets to philosophical laments and carnival dance party numbers and they have been used well to propel the script and add to the visual accomplishments here.They are well choregraphed but might distract the western viewers from the tightly knit script. Rajesh khanna interprets his atypical role with grey streaks very well as a victim and the helpless deceiver,miss Tagore is the wife who is left forlorn,traumatised and than stunned by her own fate,they have a brilliant chemistry on screen and are for me one of the finest Bollywood screen couples in its long screen history. Daag Rajesh Khanna Movie An AbstractThe surprise here though is Rakhee Gulzar,she is a naturally gifted actress with a porcelain doll like beauty that is very rare on screen and here she is showcased in possibly her best earliest role as the other woman who is in love with a charming man,who unknown to her has a murky past and she portrays those emotions in a nuanced manner on screen giving the movie an abstract but intelligent base,she exudes a fragile scepticism in every frame despite her obvious love for the man with a forgotten past,she compliments the performance by Khanna into a darker and deeper character study of the sexual rules of attraction coupled with some tantalising questions about Indian marriage and its sanctity or otherwise. The fact a mainstream movie questions and explores a taboo subject intelligently is quite profound and it does so with lavish production values comparable to Hollywood studio vehicles,but it turns its stereotypes inside out till you are experiencing something both intriguing and ingenious. It does have shades of Thomas Hardys Mayor Of Casterbridge but than that is a viable compliment as the book is a masterpiece on themes of fatalism,complex erratic human behaviour and the unpredictable consequences of those predicaments. The movie has been shot in the spellbinding majestic splendour of the Himalyan backdrops and both the spring in the mountain forest and the frozen pine trees on the snow clad mountain slopes are lushly photographed by the lensman. Despite the audio-visual delicacy offered by the ravishing locales and the cast,its the plot,script and characters that keep you involved in a complex,adult love story which almost borders onto a fugitive adventure at times but it manages to knit its two perspectives well and the characters never lose their credibilty as they are all vulnerable and imperfect which makes them likeable too and it has a very unpredictable and brilliantly staged climax which makes the denouement even more subtle and cunning and very provocative too. A story of love, opportunity,circumstances, self descipline,trust, mistrustm corruption.very gently intertwined. ![]()
