Director: Mohan Sinha Stars: Raj Kapoor, Madhubala, Shyam Sunder Genres: Romance Production Co: Amar Jyoti Pictures Ltd Produced: P.V. Banker Music: Sachin Dev Burman Relesed: 1947 DIL KI RANI This story would not even take up one handwritten purse-sized address book page, it is so lacking in substance. How then does it drag on for two hours! It was interesting for about the first half hour only because it stars a very young Raj Kapoor (he's 23) and an even younger Madhubala (she's 14!). Seeing these two legends so early in their careers (plus the fact that Raj sings his songs himself, and looks a lot like the very young Shammi) made the time pass. After that, I kind of wanted to shoot myself. It's essentially about two young and naive lovers who are surrounded by people who want to break them up, but aren't clever enough to do so. Luckily for them, the lovers aren't very bright either; there is a lot of ludicrously silly plotting which results in even sillier lover's spats, leaving me at least with the wish that they would all just shut up and end the film, already. Madhav (Raj Kapoor), called Madho by his apparently lone friend Banke (Shyam Sunder), is a poet whose songs are played on the radio. One listener named Rajkumari (Madhubala) hears him singing and suggests to her newspaper publisher father Thakur Sangram Singh (Badri Prasad) that they publish some of his poetry to increase readership. It IS fun to see him singing! The songs are lovely, written by SD Burman—this is one of his first films I believe, also for Geeta Dutt who sings for Madhubala. Shyam Sunder (who also was a composer) sings for himself, although his speaking voice is an annoying falsetto. Raj is quite handsome too (Shammi!) at this age, even if his character is a buffoon.
