Angoor Details

Angoor

Gulzar’s ANGOOR, based upon William Shakespeare’s “Comedy of Erros” is a laugh-a -minute riot that does full justice to the bard’s tale. Raj Tilak and his wife are on a trip with their twins sons whom they call Ashok. Since they look the same they should be called the same is Mr Tilak’s reasoning. As fate would have it, they adopt another set of twins whom they call Bahadur. Why? They look the same too so no need to call them by different names. An unfortunate accident will soon divide this extended family with each parent having one child each. Forward a few years later Ashok (Sanjeev Kumar) is married to Sudha (Moshumi) and Bahadur (Deven Verma) is married to Prema (Aruna Irani). They and Sudha’s sister Tanu (Deepti Naval) all stay together. Into their lives and that of all the city folk enter the other Ashok, a detective novel offionado, and Bahadur, a bhang lover. Now there are two Ashok’s and Bahadurs in the same city which is more than what their family, the Inspector, Jeweler, Taxi Driver and themselves can handle. With this movie Gulzar displays his masterly craft at situational comedies.
