"Angoor" was one of the directorial ventures of Gulzar, the great poet, lyricist, and a story teller; and most of his successful films have been based on foreign stories like Parichay, Mere Apne, and Koshish. In this film, he Indianizes the Shakespeare tale "Comedy of Errors." In this entirely comic film we have a master and a maid who both have their identical twins. When the both sets of master and maid gets mixed up in the same town, situations of confusions arise resulting some of the rib tickling moments. And the comedy gets carried out perfectly by the duo of Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma. The film is commendable for its sincere effort to stick to the main theme and emerges as a perfect comedy film which Indian film makers rarely dare to make. Despite some jaded characters, the film becomes engaging and leaves you with a good laugh by the end.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

Gulzar's hilarious adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' offers ample laugh out loud moment. Gulzar's poetic writing is loaded with humour and he gives this superb adaptation its own unique touch. He successfully avoids the usually melodrama (that flooded in most Bollywood films) and I liked that he doesn't waste too much time in needlessly elaborating the story. For example, the separation of the twins and how they were raised is told in a simple dialogue (which is adequate). Very quickly, after introducing the charming characters, Gulzar quickly moves to the double trouble confusion and he does it with wit, sarcasm and loads of comedy.It's also well-made on the technical side. The cinematography is very good and the way the images of the actors are juxtaposed (to show the twins in one scene) is well conducted. There are a few songs but they are well utilized and the lyrics are magic (thanks to a great poet's touch).Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are turn on their comic flair to the maximum. Their abilities in comedy are very well known and this is a prototype in their careers. A lovely Moushumi Chatterjee, cute and vivacious Deepti Naval and funny Aruna Irani lend excellent comedic support.Not only does 'Angoor' prove that Gulzar can tackle comedy with class but also that he is one of the most versatile directors today. This is one of India's finest adaptations of a Shakespeare work.

A very nice and clean situational comedy that will drive you crazy. There are no such dialogues used in this movie that makes us laugh, but the situation is such that it makes us laugh like anything.2 pairs of Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma gets separated and later creates mis-understandings due to same names.The movie is old but it appeals to masses. Even today someone from 21st century can enjoy Angoor. Gulzar has created a master-piece. Acting of sanjeev kumar and deven verma is a class in its own.Angoor is worth every penny and time you spent.We are proud that we had film-makers like gulzar and actors like sanjeev kumar and deven verma in our cinema.

Excellent performances by Sanjeev Kumar, Moushami Chatterjee and above all Deven Verma who steals the show. Great work by Gulzar as usual. The song "Preetam aan milo" sung by Sapan Chakraborthy is the highlight.
