On the recommendation of Sr. Adv Menaka Guruswamy I saw Pakheeza today. (she had tweeted)

It is a musical masterpiece. If one listens closely one can hear so many Musical notes have been just copied from this movie's music to some 90s or 2000s songs.

It's not very predictable, there are various twist and turns in the story line.

It's also refreshing to see that it is a female centric movie where Meena Kumari is the protagonist.

The dialogues are also well written.

It was nice to see a story based of Muslim characters. Despite the number of Muslims or Sikhs or South Indians or North East Indians not being very small in our daily lives mainstream bollywood movies almost never have any of these characters.

It can be a little too long for movie goers of today's time.

I like watching old movies it feels like time travel.
