I got two version of movie one a 3 hour one on shemaroo and another an overseas version on yashraj home videos of 3 hour 30 min .edited portion include the scene where raj kapoor learns the song "dost dost na raha" from a broken-hearted soldier.
film is shot at beautiful locales including swiss mts.
Although all songs are beautifully shot, Mera Prem Patra stands out. It was shot in Ooty valleys surrounded by beautiful fall colorful trees. If you are watching movie, just wait for last shot of the Prem Patra song. When Lata start humming and singing last mukhda of the song and long shot of Rajendra Kumar and Vyjayantimala walking holding each other behind the trees
Absolutely right. Song of the year in 1964 and justifiably so. What a fantabulous score by SJ and sung by the Sufi saint as he was called, Mohd. Rafi.
ReplyDeleteI am only 30 and perhaps part of a very very select few who love and hold yesteryear compositions as close to their heart as the generation above me did.
Sir, I'd be supremely grateful if you could let me know where I could lay my hands on the longer version of the film, having only seen the shorter one. Alternatively, if I could perhaps pay you for it, would you be able to send me a soft copy by DVD/pen drive?
Many thanks
