Angoor (Devnagari: अंगूर) is a Bollywood Hindi comedy movie. It is based on Shakespeare's play 'The Comedy of Errors'. The movie was a great hit and still continues to make people laugh.
[edit] Story
The story is about two pairs of identical twins separated at birth and how the circumstances go haywire when they meet in adulthood.
Gulzar's ANGOOR, based upon William Shakespeare's comedy of errors is a laugh-a -minute riot that does full justice to the tale. Raj Tilak and his wife are on a trip with their twins sons whom they call Ashok. Since they look the same they should be called the same is Mr Tilak's reasoning. As fate would have it, they adopt another set of twins whom they call Bahadur. An unfortunate accident soon divide this extended family with each parent having one child each.
Forward a few years later Ashok (Sanjeev Kumar) is married to Sudha (Moushmi Chatterjee) and Bahadur (Deven Verma) is married to Prema (Aruna Irani). They and Sudha's sister Tanu (Deepti Naval) all stay together. Into their lives and that of all the city folk enter the other Ashok, a detective novel offionado, and Bahadur, a bhang lover. Now there are two Ashoks and Bahadurs in the same city which is more than what their family, the Inspector, Jeweler, Taxi Driver and themselves can handle. With this movie Gulzar displays his masterly craft at situational comedies. In this movie it is very obvious why the late Sanjeev Kumar was considered by many to be the most complete Indian actor.
