History has always been kind to the victorious. While the lovers meet, get separated and meet again after years, with the ever changing political dynamics of the war tormented Russia playing the truant spoilsport, which’s tragic as well as fascinating. Yuri Zhivago, played by Omar Sharif and Lara Antipova, played by Julie Christie takes place between the years of political turmoil in Russia and spans across the February Revolution, Russian Civil War and the first world war. Based on the novel by John Masters, it’s a fine story which incidentally has an assassination attempt on Mahatma Gandhi as the backdrop, of the romantic tale of Victoria Jones who’s loved for her beauty and rejected for her colour, played by Ava Gardner.ĭavid Lean’s masterpiece and one of the greatest love stories to have been portrayed on celluloid, ‘Dr Zhivago’ is an epic romantic war film. ‘Bhowani Junction’ tells the story of an anglo-indian girl who sees the changing face of a soon to be liberated India and has a very torrid time with the fear of losing her identity. While there have been many movies about the Indian freedom struggle, there have been very few ones which have told the story from the point of view of an anglo-indian, born with both Indian and British parentage.
