The music is of the foot-tapping and catchy sort and some of them have very good lyrics. In contrast, nowadays most movies concern themselves either with showing the slums of India or the posh sights of America, Europe and whatever. I miss watching those marvelous locales of India that one used to see in older movies. The third strong point, is the beautiful locations. Amrish Puri is fun as Gangaa's evil maternal uncle. It was a welcome change to see Amitabh Bachchan (who was recognized at that time for his on screen angry-man image) a lot more mellow and laidback, even though he's a little too old for his role. Chokroborty is a little loud at times but he is impressive when restrained and his unrequited love for Jamunaa is well displayed. Jaya Prada is wonderful as the virgin prostitute, I mean, virgin cabaret singer and dancer in a brothel (confused?) who doesn't dare to dream of getting married and living a decent respectable life with a husband.

Sheshadri is incredibly beautiful and her Jamunaa is vivacious, charming and streetsmart. Secondly, the performances by Meenakshi Sheshadri, Jaya Prada and Mithun Chokroborty are brilliant. It's a pity that he doesn't write for movies anymore as many films lack the necessary wit to charm the viewer. Kader Khan's sharp witty dialogues are hilarious. Let's go to the (well intended) good parts. While it holds nostalgic value for me, it is overall more enjoyable than other campy flicks of the time like the overrated 'Amar Akbar Anthony', 'Mard', 'Coolie' etc (all made by Manmohan Desai). As a child, this was one of my favourite movies and I had the chance to revisit this one after about 17 years and I have got to say that I still find it entertaining but in a way that one would enjoy a campy film. I have heard many negative reviews and also am aware of the fact that 'Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi' was a major flop during the year of its release.
