when asked i always reply "there are only two Indian films that i adore and first one is Bimal Roy's Devdas and second guru Dutt's sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. generally speaking Indian films are pretty bad. but these two gems are absolute beauties. but that was the golden age of Hindi films. films of that era really had some class. current Indian films are absolutely pathetic at best. Devdas: why was it great - brilliant direction of Bimal Roy. he actually was the cinematographer for the earlier version by Pc Barua. and second Dilip Kumar's portrayal of devdas. i believe it is mainly due to Bimal Roy's direction, he knew how to utilize dilip kumar's talents. secondly it ms. Suchitra Sen's portrayal of Parvati. sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam: guru Dutt's direction, brilliant performances by Meena Kumari, Rehman and guru Dutt.
