I never got a chance to see this flick except for its now famous climax scene which earned Kamal Hassan National Award back in 1983.....
Anywayz with some help from abbyy aka abdullah finally got a chance to view this movie online yedsterday..and i was bowled over by it
I have yet to come across such inoocent love story yet in bollywood which in its own carried a genuine light of affection, bonding and muted feelings which doesn't need the armour of socety defined relationship names and terms.....
Sadma, which tells the story of an amnesiac Sridevi who gets accidentally lost in the lanes of Brothel world
only to be rescued by a quiet gentleman in his own right school teacher from ooty Kamal Hassan..
What then starts is a relationship based purely on humanity and later develops into something more......love, care, affection, chemistry..whtever you can think of....it was jus beautifull to see how things develop between the two protagnists in an unconventional manner....
certain scenes and moments from the movie like 'somu' affectionately pullng 'reshami's cheeks while going to school,
luring her to sleep with the famous lori of all times 'surami ankhyion me'..
'somu''s desperate search for reshami..their reconcilatin after the fight..those simple dialogues said between heavy sobs....
his angst and fight for her honour with malwa!
somu imagining reshami to be the perfect woman that she was....
it was all love wrapped with a foil of child like innocent world feeel...where everything is jus...possible and real...u know u want to enter such world..bt knw u can't even then u still want to be a part of it-
thats what Sadma is for me right now..wnt to rem this always about the movie....so just enclosed it into time with this post...
the movie left me gasping for more....i soo would like to see what happens in the lives of these characters later on.....but jus like all good things this is jus too much to expect..somethings are left unsaid..or in this case......incomplete yet fulfilled in their own way....
years later whenever i feel like walking down memory lane.....want to remember this movie and the special feelings it invoked within mee.....history in making here!
