Climax | Amar Prem - My Take | Under Lens

Climax of a movie is perhaps the most important part of it. A climax should justify everything that has been shown and should plug every open question. It should be capable of unloading the emotional burden the movie has loaded on the viewer and should linger in memories for some good time. Shakti Samanta's Amar Prem has a climax that does exactly what I just mentioned.


Pushpa's life is full of ill-incidents but the incidents never deterred her from the path of good. Her life had two pillars, Nandu and Anand Babu... and when she is alone at the dusk of her life, destiny decides that her good deeds would reap great dividends for her. Anand Babu and Nandu return to her. In the closing scene, you see Maa Durga and Pushpa. Pushpa was mother for Nandu and just like Maa comes to our homes, Pushpa is going to her home...


The climax is really heavy on emotional quotient. In today's time, though it can be really difficult to relate to Nandu's emotional baggage, it does not take away anything from Samanta who presented such a beautiful climax to his movie. It justifies why a person should try to remain good in turbulent tides. Goodness is reward appropriately...
