Jheel Ke Us Paar (Across the Lake) - (1973) released by WEG. Starring Dharmendra, Mumtaz, and Yogita Bali. 151 minutes. Music by R.D. Burman. Playback Singers: Lata, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar. Subtitles on dialogue. Full Screen.

Video overall is very good with excellent color. The images are sharp and finely detailed, although not without occasional artifacts and some signs of wear (scratches etc.) on the source print. Bit rate is around 5 throughout. Audio is a very clear and pleasant 2-channel mono without any distortion.

JKUP is a familiar, but well done, story of a rich Indian man (Dharmendra) falling in love with a poor, beautiful blind girl (the lovely Mumtaz) over the objections of his upper-class mother. Written by Gulshan Nanda and based on his novel of the same name, JKUP has some well-written and poetic scenes.

Director-producer Bhappi Sonie does a fine job of keeping the story moving with some nicely picturized songs ("Jheel Ke Us Paar") and scenes amid the atmospheric, outdoor locales. The excellent cinematography by Jal Mistry, which won him the Filmfare award of 1973, is interesting and imaginative.

As usual, music by R.D. Burman is first-rate, and is beautifully sung by Lata, Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar. Undoubtedly, one of the better DVDS made by WEG thus far.  Definitely recommended.
