Celebrating 43 years of #ChashmeBuddoor (08/05/1981), a classic romantic comedy about friendship and love, starring Farooq Shaikh, Deepti Naval, Rakesh Bedi, Ravi Baswani, and Saeed Jaffrey. Directed by Sai Paranjpye and produced by Gul Anand and Jayshree Anand — Makhija, this film captures the essence of youth and camaraderie.

The story revolves around three Delhi University students—Siddharth, Omi, and Jai—who stay in the city during their summer vacation. Their routine life takes a turn with the arrival of Neha, a charming young woman.

After directing the poignant drama "Sparsh," Sai Paranjpye switched gears dramatically to craft "Chashme Buddoor," a lighthearted comedy that explores male friendship with witty and sharp insights, avoiding clichéd slapstick humor.

The film shines with its realistic dialogue and natural interactions, especially in scenes like when Siddharth, trying to play it cool, offers Neha a ride, only to admit he'd been waiting for her. Neha, far from a typical damsel, reveals she hoped he would appear. This genuine exchange underscores their mutual attraction and understanding.

Another memorable moment is when Neha demonstrates a detergent’s effectiveness by washing a towel, which Siddharth sheepishly admits was already clean. The simplicity and honesty of their interactions make "Chashme Buddoor" feel as refreshing as a sudden rain shower.

The film also features a delightful proposal scene where Siddharth's nervousness meets Neha's playful challenge, showing the depth of their bond and the light-hearted nature of their relationship.

"Chashme Buddoor" remains a beloved example of how humor and heart can create a timeless story about the joys and surprises of everyday life.

Die ganze Welt ist eine Bühne. Also auch Indien. Die Schauspielerfamilie Kendal, hier unter dem Tarnnamen "Buckingham" spielt dort in den 60er Jahren auf recht unterschiedlichen Bühnen Shakespeare-Stücke, aber es läuft alles nicht so gut wie früher, die Leute interessieren sich gar nicht mehr so für Shakespeare und schauen lieber unseriöse Musikfilme. Töchterlein Felicity verguckt sich in den hübschen, aber unseriösen Shashi Kapoor, der steht aber unter der Fuchtel einer berühmten, aber zickigen (und unseriösen) Bollywood-Diva, so daß Felicity schließlich nach England heimgeschickt wird, wo sie uns dann auch nur 56 Jahre später hier in Anything Goes erfreute, und Shashi heiratete stattdessen ihre Schwester. So imitiert das Leben die Kunst, und umgekehrt.
