A rich mix of mass masala meets super hit music
Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) :
Brief Review -
A rich mix of mass masala meets super hit music. Nasir Hussain has been merging multiple genres together since the late 50s, so we can say that he must have been through all theories by the 70s. Yaadon Ki Baaraat still picks a lot of elements from his own previous works, but the emerging duo of Salim-Javed adds a modern touch to it. A similar lost and found formula of three brothers later inspired a huge hit like Amar Akbar Anthony, which was made on a larger scale and bigger cast. Yet, people remember YKB for the simplicity and originality it shows in pieces despite being a formulaic masala film. It's a rich mix of multiple genres, such as romance, drama, action, crime, thriller, and a bit of comedy. To take it a notch higher, RD Burman delivers a music album to be remembered. "Yaadon Ki Baaraat," "Chura Liya Hai," "Meri Soni," and "Lekar Hum Deewana Dil" are super hits and are still remembered even after 5 decades and will be remembered even after 5 decades from here. The way Nasir Hussain uses music to unfold secrets or as a form of reunion is one beautiful thing to watch. Here, Yaadon Ki Baaraat title song plays that role, whereas in Hum Kisise Kum Nahi, he used "Kya Hua Tera Wada" for the same reason. Two younger brothers are singing the song, and Dharmendra is crying in the corner-what a frame it was! Songs fit so well with the context then, and we rarely see that happening in regular masala films nowadays, unlike in the 1960s and 1970s, when songs actually used to play an important role in taking the narrative or the scenes forward. The film has a good ensemble cast of Dharmendra, Vijay Arora, Tariq Khan, Zeenat Aman, and Ajit, and they all have performed well. Overall, it's a nice film with a good repeat value, and the music definitely makes it even better.
