Daaera 1953

Daaera is a 1953 Indian Bollywood film released on 1953. Amorhis least-known but most elegiac film. Sheetal (Kumari) is married to an old, ailing man repeatedly mistaken for her father. She has an affair with Sharan Kumar (Nasir Khan) and eventually commits suicide. From the outset, when the mismatched couple arrives at the dark, windswept scene where they will face their destiny, the symbol laden film deploys a baroque style of lighing with sparse dialoge and obsessive characters in the grip of their desires. As in Amrohis Mahal (1949), the soundtrack is expetional, from the opening Mukhtar Begum bhajan introducing Sharan to Sheetal, to the hush marking Sharans fall from the balcony as the camera cranes over the crowded chaos below into Meena Kumari on a distant terrace. *.* I know... the end is appeoaching soon... I can feel the cold shudder of death in my veins ...But no ...I dont want to die to-day... not to-day. . Check out this page for more updates on Daaera.
