Woh 7 Din (1983)
8/10
Simple and nice compared to overrated HDDCS
26 October 2009
in 1983 marked the debut of one of the finest actors off today Anil Kapoor who earlier did small roles in SHAKTI(1982)

Here he got a full fledged role and he did the best of it

The film also has Naseeruddin Shah who was known as a Art film actor mostly and Padmini Kolhapure

The film is a simple story well told

The first half has plenty of amusing moments and the ones between Anil and Chotu and also Anil and Padmini are brilliant the turn of events are well handled and the film moves to the climax minus any glitch The last scene is one of the best scene

In 1999 Sanjay Leela Bhansali made HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM which had the same story but there it was made on a larger scale with large mansions.etc But WOH SAATH DIN is much better HDDCS especially in first half lacked the conviction of this film and the love angle between Salman- Aish wasn't as nice as Anil-Padmini while even the climatic emotional scene between Salman and Aish was too melodramatic while here the last scene is not melodramatic and stands out

Direction by Bapu is brilliant Music is good

Amongst actors Anil proves he was here to stay, The actor is so natural and honest in his act that you fall in love with him Padmini is good too in her part Naseer excels in his mature role The rest are good too
