Seeing Raha's eyes reminded me of Raj Kapoor...

 


Those halcyon days before the mass media boom. To be precise, those days were almost fifty years ago. It was enough to get information about so many incidents that the paperman had to drop the paper home every morning. Gaining knowledge. A middle-class Maharashtrian family gets only one newspaper every day. Loksatta came to our house in Khotachi Wadi in Girgaon. Although television came to Mumbai on October 2, 1972, for a long time the television set was owned by someone in four or six buildings in the street. It is a subject of a different social and cultural environment. I was just school age. In half pants. To eat sweets only during the festival. (Raha kappor)

Enrolling in the library and bringing weeklies, magazines, books, issues home to read on Diwali is an ingrained culture.
What do you get from all this to read about film? A review of a new film released on Friday in the newspaper, some news, an Ekada article on Sunday and a lot of content mainly on Marathi films and flashbacks on old films from Rasarang Weekly. That was enough. The writing was also good. Gossip was hardly popular in Marathi at that time and magazines on glossy paper publishing hot gossips were not brought into the homes of cultured Marathi families…what if the neighbors got to know? This fear. Life in Chali was different. (It will be today.)

Why are you saying this today?

The reason for this is the sighting of Raha Kapoor on social media on Monday. As soon as the paparazzi realized that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia had brought Raha, they flashed and got ready. Ranbir came out earlier and very politely told the paparazzi, don't rush. Brings Rahala. So he and Alia brought Rahala in Christmas mood. Someone took a video, someone took a reel and someone took a photo. And as if in a moment many people saw it on mobile. How fast it happened. Like a live experience. Seeing Raha's blue eyes reminded many of her grandfather i.e. Raj Kapoor. The unique identity of this showman as “Raj Kapoor Nili Nili Aukho Wala” (Raha Kappor).



With today's media boom, film buffs from all walks of life quickly saw what Raha Kapoor looked like. But what about fifty years ago? I remember, after 'Mera Naam Joker' (1970) I came to know that Raj Kapoor is producing 'Babby' with Rishi Kapoor from Rasarang Weekly's article by Vasant Sathe. He is the screenwriter of 'Babi' (Raha Kappor).

He was also seen portraying a school-aged Raj Kapoor in 'Mera Naam Joker', but 'Joker' was a commercial flop and was soon out of theaters. That day there was a discussion together in the family about 'Aap kenya film pahycha'. And one movie a month is watched as a family. Today the movie itself has come to hand and it is being talked about on social media. (Raha kappor)

anyway You might be surprised, 'Babby' is set to hit the screens on September 28, 1973, when Sharad Gurjar's Chitrarang Sadar was released in Loksattat Home Coming, the first time Rishi Kapoor knew what he looked like. Compared to this, today's generation is lucky. ( When I came to the media, I developed a very good relationship with Sharad Gurjar and he laughed when I insisted on this. ) Then I first saw the photo of Rishi Kapoor aka Chintu and Dimple Kapadia from Rasarang Weekly. Later, he made sure that no one was looking at him while looking at another romantic photo of him in Loksatta too. During that time, if the home screen or Cine Advance was coming home weekly, this would have been seen in the photo of 'Babi'. 'Babi' was marked by the recording of Shailendra Singh's song Mai Shair To Nahin at Mehboob Studio. Ironically, lyricist Anand Bakshi and music composer Laxmikant Pyarelal did not know whether the name 'Babby' was a boy or a girl until they met Raj Kapoor for the song, a story that went viral. Music composer Laxmikant also told me that.

In fifty years, the media environment has changed, and the speed has also increased. Many things are easily accessible to the society. But the fun or attraction of eagerly waiting for something is gone. After Taimur Khan, most of the Raha news days will come. No matter how much we say that celebrities are allowed to live their private lives, is it really possible in the age of TRP?

Each of these frames is still discussed today. Guru Dutt's cinematography by photographer VK Murthy for this film is still studied today. The use of light and shade in this is going to surprise even today. The film's songs

This is an important reminder of 'Qayamat'

Rosie aka Waheeda Rehman, who gave her exhilarating dance performance in Vijay Anand's 'Guide', must have come before the eyes of die-hard fans of film songs, music and dance till they say 'Kanto ke khinch ke yah aanchal..'. This is one of the best examples of the very close relationship between the artist and the song. You will also appreciate how Wahida ji has given his classical music and dance training in this song dance. But I told you, if Smita Patil also performed the same song on the silver screen, you might have been surprised by it or the 'overlap' that has been played with some songs in today's digital age. (Often it's annoying) There will be something like that. That is, the ridiculous creativity of putting aside the original song in the film and fitting some other song over it has increased. You are thinking that this type will be there. (Qayamat Memory) But nothing like that. Indeed, Smita Patil brought to the silver screen the song K

In today's article from Kalakriti Media, we are going to find out, after the great success of Jhimma film, has this film Jhimma 2 (Jhimma 2 Review) lived up to the expectations? It is said that if there are more than one wife together in one house, the pot will collide and in this case 7 wives will once again leave together for a new trip.  7 different types of 7 girlfriends and 7 different stories of these 7 women;  But when the group comes together for a trip, what happens is fun, and together they share their sorrows and play ZIMMA LIFE !!
