Love in Tokyo

Having lived in Japan and with a move to India in the works Love in Tokyo seemed a perfect fit for me.This 1966 hit has Ashok (Joy Mukherjee) head to Japan to find his nephew and bring him back to India. The process he falls in love with an Indian woman in Tokyo, there are chases, disguises, songs, and humor.It's a fairly typical Bollywood "Masala" musical with a bit of something for everyone from brutal murders to a long sequence stolen from Disney's Absent Minded Professor.How does it hold up?Not all that well, I mean it is a 50 year old film and tastes, styles and cultures have changed. It's an interesting looking into the past but not something I would recommend.

JOY EMBARKED TO FAME WITH HIS FIRST APPEARENCE ON LOVE IN SIMLA WITH SADHNA THAT IS FULL OF HIT SONGS AND MUSIC AS ANOTHER VERSION OF A TRIANGLE MORE OR LESS. OUTDOOR SHOOTING IN THE TOKYO'S GARDENS ARE EYE SOOTHING WITH THE FAUNA AND JAPANESE FLORA..VETERAN PRAN ALSO MAKE IT DRAMATIC AS BEING THE STANDARD IN MOST OF HIS MOVIES.

DVD quality is quite good. I had seen this movie before when it was first released in theatres. I love the songs and wanted to have it in my collection.

Another awesome old classic movie and they don't produce such beautiful songs like the ones in this movie and other old movies anymore!! thoroughly enjoyed watching this one!! will sit down, watch and listen to the songs again!!

Yes the very best of Joy Mukherjee and Asha Pareck Movies

One of the popular movies of the 1960's shot in tokyo, Japan. Ashok (Joy Mukherjee) is asked to go to Tokyo to bring his nephew back to India and falls in love with Asha(Asha Parekh), who is about to inherit her father's inheritance. Her Uncle Madan (Madan Mohan)in partnership with Pran (Pran) wants to share that 50/50.There is plenty of scenery around Tokyo with its beautiful small Parks and Temples. Probably too much of medium comedy by Mehmood and others. However, Asha Parekh shows her beauty and acting for 1966. Now recently seen on TV, she shows her age.Excellent music by Sankar Jai Krishan and good direction by Pramod Chakraborty. The movie is very watchable for mordern times.Watch and ENJOY.

Good
