The golden era from 70’s to 80’s always has and will have a special place in my heart. In this section, I will throw light on my favourite aspect, the incredible pairs of Movies, especially from the golden era. I love many such pairs, who I have always admired. When I see those movies, I still wonder how two people can create magic. . . onscreen with such ease and comfort. 💕💕
Since childhood, I was always fascinated towards magical onscreen pairs. I have a picture book, which I made along with my sisters, to immortalise the favourite pairs in the form of pictures. Our father had always supported this as he felt it was a unique hobby to watch so many celebrities in one place. And all will agree, fathers do support their daughters. 😍😍😍
I thank each and every one of them to make my life joyful and also for bringing smile on my face. 😎
In this section I will talk about all those onscreen pairs which are close to my. ❤
#1 Film : Swami (1977)

About The Film
Swami, film made in 1977, starring seasoned actors like Girish Karnad, Shabana Azmi, Shashi Kala and Utpal Dutt. I had seen this move quite long back, but its every scene is still fresh in my mind.
The highlight of this film for me, is the beautiful chemistry between the lead actors. Shabana Azmi played the role of Saudamini and Girish Karnad of Ghanshyam. She is called as Mini in the whole movie. She is in love with Naren, played by another famous actor of that time, Vikram. Circumstances seperate them and she has to marry Ghanshyam, a wheat trader in a village.
As her marriage with Ghanshyam is against her wishes, she is living a life which is thrust upon her. She refuses to converse or spend time with him.
She Falls For Him
But during her stay , she notices how Ghanshyam being the elder son of the house has taken up the whole responsibility of his house on himself. He strives to see that everyone in the house is taken care of, including Mini, who maintains distance from him.
She notices how he is above the human nature traits like envy, anger, frustration, anxiety etc. His focus is on his duties and responsibilities. This nature of Ghanshyam evokes a sense of respect in Mini, which fruits into love.
Later, when she gets a chance of starting a new life with her old flame Naren, the memories of how Ghanshyam has treated her and others flash before her. She learns from Ghanshyam the virtues of forgiveness, sacrifice and respect for others. She has given up the possibility of going back to Ghanshyam back, as she has crossed the threshold of his home along with Naren, after a bitter incident.
To her surprise Ghanshyam comes to take her back from the railway platform back to their home, thereby performing his duties as a husband. She is shocked to see how forgiving a person can be and finally goes back to her home, with Ghanshyam.
Beautiful Moments
The beautiful moments between these two after the marriage, especially after she develops respect for him, are worth watching. The dialogues are so deep and meaningful, I still remember all of those.
There is one of the night scenes, when she is lying down on a mattress, as she isn’t willing to be close to him. He tells her, “It seems you are carrying a heavy burden on your chest. But a burden will be relieved only after talking it out”.
Wow, what a beautiful way of making your newly wedded wife comfortable. What a beautiful display of emotions by the leads.
Swami, one of my favourite movies, is worth seeing. do watch it guys.
Will be talking about many more pairs from the Golden era of 70’s and 80’s.
Stay tuned.
