Angoor
Angoor (transl. The Grape) is a 1982 Indian Hindi-language comedy movie. It was directed by Gulzar. The movie stars Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma in double roles. [1][2] It is a remake of the 1968 Indian movie Do Dooni Char. [3] That movie was a remake of the 1963 Bengali language movie Bhranti Bilas. [4] It was based on Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's Bengali novel by the same name. That book was based on Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors. [5] Angoor was remade by Rohit Shetty as Cirkus.[6] All of the characters in the move are innocent. Destiny plays the main role in bringing all characters to one place. This is different from most movies that have characters who are not innocent and make false statements to fool other characters.[7]
