Gardes, Waheeda is also one of my all time favorites in both looks and acting. I loved her in Saheb Bibi, Bees Saal baad, Kaagaz Ke Phool and Guide.This song suits Radhika's character and they used this in last year's holi too.
Gardes, I forgot about Khamosi. I am not a fan of Rajesh Khanna but Waheeda was just amazing in that movie. On top of that, they had that beautiful song "Pukaar Lo" picturized in the background on her and Dharmendra. Plus she was shown walking with a copy of Abhigyan Shakuntalam. The whole picturization was great. Those movies were so subtle with those literary touches. Wish they could show some of that in Hindi serials.
Thanks, Why. I thought of the 2 movies off the top of my head as they are my favorites, and in addition to the ones you mentioned, she was so amazing in Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Khamoshi, Baat Ek Raat Ki and Kohra (an Indian version of Rebecca) as well. She was a beauty and it showed so well in Kaagaz Ke Phool. She was so fresh-faced in KKP and SBAG! Loved her movies.

I think we will have this song and Radhika and dev dancing.
I just came across this......
Gardes, I do feel we have the same tastes. I find RK overrated and always feel that it is RK playing the role rather than the character. I liked Khamosi despite him. Dev Anand is another actor whom I find overrated. I liked him in only one movie where he played a villianous character opposite Geeta Bali. It was called Jaal and he was good in it. I too didn't like Guide as I didn't feel the ending of it at all. Later on I read RK Narayan (not Guide) and found that he had disowned the movie as he hated the execution of it. I liked Waheeda, Rahman (who played her archeologist husband) and the songs in that movie.
Why, you and I must like the same movies. I avoided watching Khamoshi because of RK (too full of himself than the role he needed to play) but eventually caught up with it b/c of Dharmendra and WR. I usually watch movies for the directors and actors are secondary, unless I like the actor. There is so much subtlety in movies when directed by the likes of Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, etc. that you rarely see these days. I watched Aarti and Asli Naqli over the weekend b/c I love the songs. The storyline is corny at times but the movie does not rattle your nerves with too much noise like they do these days! Guide was good and the songs were memorable, but I have found Dev Anand to be too gimmicky and it turned me off. I preferred the book.
