Along with ‘Mera Naam Joker’, ‘Sangam’ is one of the longest movies ever made – the run time is almost 4 hours. In the days of DD, I have watched the former for the most part and I can tell you that watching a movie that long is very difficult on one’s concentration and patience. I can’t imagine what it took to make these movies!
Last year, right before the start of my sickness, of all things Arjun~ and I ended up discussing a reference from ‘Sangam’ and I kept bringing it up later as well. Much like this movie, ‘Sangam’ is about friendship and is far more grown-up in treatment. In some respects, it reminds me of 'Pearl Harbor'. What also strikes me is that movies that address class divide might not address sexism well.
I heard the song after a really long time today and was pleasantly surprised not to find it evoke the sadness that I remember from childhood. Listen to it. Vyjayanthimala’s bindi looks so good on her! She’s truly a superstar.
