Mem-Didi

Unlike the formulaic movies from 60s overloaded with melodrama or romance, "Mem Didi" makes an attempt to capture a small story of a neighborhood and the attachment of the people living in it. The film gives a message that the real happiness of life is in giving happiness to others through two major characters of the film played by David and Jayant. The specialty of the film lies in its simplicity and sincerity with which the story is dealt which makes the film witty and adorable. The roles played by David, Jayant, and Lalita Pawar just get blended with the film and the screen glows on their presence.

Overall, the film isn't considered among the most memorable films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Nor the music or story is remembered much from the film. The smaller roles of Tanuja and Kaysi Mehra are under developed. But on a whole, the film makes a good entertainment and the characters and story just go with the pace of the film and feels like a fresh breath of air.

Rating: 3 stars out of 4
