Barsaat (English: Rain) is a 1949 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Raj Kapoor. The film stars the famous duo of Kapoor and Nargis as well as Prem Nath. It was also the introduction of actress Nimmi in her first film role. Barsaat was one of the first major hit films directed by Kapoor. This success allowed Kapoor to buy RK Studios in 1950. This was Raj Kapoor's second directional venture after Aag. Barsaat became the highest-grossing movie in Indian cinema at the time of its release beating Mehboob Khan's Andaz which released 2 months earlier.
The film revolves around two love stories. Pran (Raj Kapoor) and Reshma (Nargis) and Gopal (Prem Nath) and Neela (Nimmi). Two friends with opposite personalities, the rich but sensitive Pran and the womanizing Gopal both have affairs with two mountain girls while holidaying in the valley of Kashmir. While Pran and Reshma's love is true and reciprocated, Gopal is a womanizing villain, who disregards the faithful Neela (Nimmi) and condemns her to wait faithfully for his return with the barsaat (rainy season).Many plot intrigues follow through with Pran and Reshma facing many trials on the path of true love, including parental opposition, accidents, and an attempted forced marriage of Reshma to an uncouth fisherman. The couple are finally reunited.Gopal on the other hand finally becomes a reformed character and rushes to claim the ever-faithful Neela who has been pining away, arriving there he finds his true love dead. The film ends with Gopal lighting Neela's funeral pyre as the rains finally come.
The much-acclaimed poster and publicity[3] for the movie were illustrated by the master artist Dr S. M. Pandit. One of the posters showing the heroine dangling on the arm of the hero would go on to inspire the R K Studios' famous logo.
The music of Barsaat became famous upon the film's release in 1949. The film was the debut for music directors Shankar Jaikishan and established their careers. The famous playback singer Lata Mangeshkar famously sang for both Nargis and Nimmi in Barsaat.
The soundtrack was listed by Planet Bollywood at number 1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks.[4]Rakesh Budhu of Planet Bollywood gave 10 stars stating, "Barsaat is ideally one of Hindi cinema's best soundtracks".[5]

Love as true holiness can rightly be called a separate religion. The poet and composer sings of this as his muse, an invaluable transcendental gift, a great divine power bestowed primarily through tears and sadness. Raj Kapoor once again shows a true miracle of directorial thought, creating a deep, touching and sad parable, told with references to ancient Indian myths.
So sumptuously expressionistic that what might seem like perhaps more undeveloped melodrama becomes something cosmic, spiritual, elemental (a word I can't use without pointing towards geo's review), love brought into life and nurtured - necessitated - by the natural world around us.
The images here alone are enough to sweep you away, a flowing parade of piercing moonlight through brooding shadows. The film is held together by deep longing, Kapoor conjuring romance and heartache from the wind in the trees and the lashing rain upon the earth with such immense command over each frame and the way they move that one could almost watch this silent.
It has that look of classic romantic film of the 40's and that look is amazing. The way black and white is used, creates a world with a lot of colour, unlike one would expect. The love story is just like the stories of the the Golden Age of Hollywood, they are not realistic but they are impressive and our feelings go through a roller coaster of emotions. The music helps on that regard as well.
Starts out as a straightforward romcom, contrasting an ideal of traditional romance with a "western-influenced" nightclub-frivolity -n-libertinage lifestyle... and then it dives headlong into the trad-romance sensibility and the whole movie mutates into a gorgeously late-silent-pictorials rhapsody where quantum vibrations create a telepathic bond between lovers, with time, space and causality collapsing like meaningless false constructs in their wake. The Borzage from another planet. Almost Breton-surrealist, now that I think about it.
As gorgeous as this film was to look at I admit that I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. Perhaps Raj Kapoor's tortured passionate romantic stuff can be a little too much for me sometimes but I did end up bursting into tears during the english club ballroom scene with the violin because of the phenomenal soundtrack so there's that.
Raw, operatic romance from Raj Kapoor. Love as the most powerful force in the universe. He said he would return with the monsoon, she said if he did not her desire would turn to ash. Love's presence or absence Is the source of creation and destruction.
