This is Raj Kapoor with a smile of cynicism in "Gopinath", the forthcoming social of Shanti Lok Chitra.
tradition of Elizabethan drama, has cheap comic scenes in between the movingly emotional sequences, soliloquies, prologues and choruses. Judged from the standards of modern realistic, psychological plays, it is an old-fashioned melodramatic tear-jerker. It is the rich, resonant Shakespearean language, the wealth of his imagery, the sweet, smooth flow of his verses, that give literary distinction to "Romeo and Juliet" or any other of the old master's plays. After Hollywood had tampered with the classic dialogue in several previous film versions of Shakespeare's plays, it was M. G. M. that did fufll justice to the old Hard in their version of "Romeo and Juliet" (starring Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard) by presenting his dialogue in its original glory. Kamal Amrohi who has written the Hindustani version for Nargis Art Concern, is no Shakespeare, not even an Agha Hashr, but still he tries his best to
fender into chaste Urdu the delicately-worded lines of Shakespeare. His dialogue would have been more appreciated (particularly in the North, as the language has an Urdu bias — in keeping with the period atmosphere of the story) but for the fact that they have not been recorded so well and the re-recording with the background music track has made matters worse.
