Ishara, Ek Nazar is a poignant romantic drama that showcases the complexities of love, ambition, and sacrifice. Featuring the charismatic pair of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri (later Jaya Bachchan), this film is a compelling watch for fans of classic Bollywood cinema. Plot Overview The story revolves around Rajesh (Amitabh Bachchan), a poet who finds himself captivated by Shabnam (Jaya Bhaduri), a courtesan with an enigmatic personality and a haunting past. Their relationship blossoms despite societal norms and their personal struggles. The film delves into themes of redemption, societal hypocrisy, and the power of love to transcend barriers. Performances Amitabh Bachchan, in one of his earlier roles, delivers a restrained and heartfelt performance as Rajesh. His portrayal of a tortured poet is convincing, hinting at the superstar he would later become. Jaya Bhaduri shines as Shabnam, bringing depth and vulnerability to her character. Her nuanced expressions and understated acting style perfectly complement Bachchan's intensity. Music The soulful music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, combined with lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, is one of the film's highlights. Songs like "Patta Patta Boota Boota" (sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi) remain timeless, beautifully reflecting the film's melancholic and romantic undertones. Overall, Ek Nazar is a classic that highlights the magic of early Bollywood romance with a touch of social commentary. The film is an ode to love's transformative power and the sacrifices it demands. While it may not be fast-paced, its poetic storytelling and soulful music make it a memorable experience for fans of vintage cinema. Written by moditejashree See less
