In this black and white hidi version, Padmini looks so fat. but just see the other Rrussian version in color,in which she looks so slim aroung the hips. I wonder the Russian guys altered? i am not sure.

One of most poignant moment of India, when Pndt J Nehru signed up deal to build Nagra Dam with help of Soviet Union's know how, this was one of the cultural exchange piece K Asif directed this film with Soviet male actor Oleg S. This film didn't pay off its budget but simply left record between two nation's cultural exchange and cooperation. It has Russian,Hindi dialog and in black & white. Second film made inColor which directed by Nickoloi Ashkanzzi depict history ofRussian connection to India

Absolutely enthralling -- this Lata melody rooted in a classical composition and her solid classical training. Thanks,SunahreGeet.

[hellzsnake]

bollywood is nothing like this anymore...all good things have to come to an end though..beautiful song

[hippocampus23]

You are abslutley right! When people learn I don't like Bollywood, they are shocked. America is a country that doesn't realize how special the industry was back in the 1950's. "Pardesi" is one of the first international film projects and still holds special significance due to the tight bond between Russia and India. The navigator, Pardesi is a symbol of that relationship.

SOCIAL ***

[ambindia]

anil biswas has used a mridangam instead of the usual tabla or even pakhavaj.

[heavyatheart]

song is so very rhythmic yet extremely soft.

[Freedoun]

Apart from melodies and dances the story of Pardesi was very touching. I remember one dialogue where Nargis, after knowing that Oleague (pardesi) lives in the country of ice (Russia), asks him "Pardesi, burf kaisi hoti hay?" and he looks in the room to find any white thing and suddenly notices pearl white teeth of Nargis and says "In jaisi", which makes Nargis very shy.
