  Director Yash Chopra, who has been changing the face of love stories in Hindi cinema since the seventies, is referred to as the king of romantic cinema. He changed the definition of love while making love movies. Yash Chopra became a successful film director in Bollywood due to his amazing direction, his performances, the passion of love in it, the music in his films, the shooting locations in his films. Their marks, trishul, wall, silsila. Films like Chandni, Veer-Zara were big box office hits. (Yash Chopra) But did you know? At the time of directing his first film, he faced a huge challenge. He was hesitant to direct that film. They were pretty much on the back foot. But his brother BR Chopra encouraged him and stood firmly by his side. So he became a successful film director. The story of his first directional debut is very interesting. After playing supporting roles with his elder brother BR Chopra for several year...

  Galli movie is screened, it's ten o'clock in the night, sometimes it seems like 'Kahani Kismet Ki' or 'Ram Bharose' movie is starting, once the trailer starts showing, there is a lot of applause and whistles, the atmosphere is charged, the eyes are fixed on the screen, then the censors of the main picture. Certificate comes on screen, clap again. Now Shreyanamavi i.e. titles start, moving forward the name appears, Shetty. Even after reading this much, one can be sure that Dishyum Dishyum is definitely and sometimes good scenes come in the picture. (MB Shetty) While enjoying a matinee show like An Evening in Paris, Siyak, Chori Mera Kaam, the titles show actor Shetty, Fight Composer or Action Co-ordinator Shetty and while reading this, one is sure that there is definitely a fight in the film. In the sixties many films had fights at the very end (this was the public word of the time) and in the seventies it increased a bit. There was not much bloodshed....

  Even if we only remember some classic films in the history of Hindi cinema, a very eloquent and effective poster of that film, the theme of that film, the social content of that film and the long-term impression of that film on the society and film lovers all come to mind. There have been many such masterpieces in the history of Indian cinema and that is why I feel that in the course of world cinema Hindi cinema has created a distinct identity, dominance, existence and one such film is “Do Bigha Zameen” produced and directed by Bimal Roy of Bimal Roy Productions. (Do Bigha Zamin) The film was released in Mumbai on 16 January 1953. Seventy-one years have now been completed since the release of this film. It is the director's greatest achievement that even after such a long period, the entire film comes to mind with its poster as soon as the name of the film is mentioned. Bimal Roy has given variety to the fans through his directorial films like 'Do Bigha...

  Mala Sinha, an audience favorite of the fifties and sixties, had a huge initial struggle in Mumbai as a big film producer had specially called her from Bengal and signed a contract with her for three films. But later her contract with her was canceled as her first film flopped! And Mala Sinha became virtually unemployed. A singer-actress helped bring her back on track and Mala Sinha's derailed career once again started to run wild! Who were the filmmakers? Why did they break the contract with her? This story is very interesting. (Mala Sinha) Although Mala Sinha is originally from Nepal, she was born in Calcutta. She is a Christian. Her original name is Alda Sinha. But as she started acting in Bengali films from a young age, she adopted the name Mala Sinha for the film. She also used to sing on Akashvani in the beginning. She made her film debut as a child artist and became the heroine of Bengali cinema at the age of ju...

To put it simply, when I started watching Marathi and Hindi movies in single screen theaters in Girgaon with my family in the early seventies when I was in school, I watched Mother India, Mughal e Azam, Ganga Jamuna, Do Aukhe Barah Haath, Zanak Zanak Payal Baje, Hum Dono from the sixties or earlier. , Kagaz Ke Phool, Guide, Sangam, Shaheed, Haqikat, Thitsiri Manzil, many old films like 'watch old films' come out and sometimes these old films were seen in matinee shows, repeat runs, Doordarshan, Galli films that 'What was heavy earlier? A picture is being made' automatically came to my mouth. This may mean that good films were not made after that. But after that the movie changed and so did the preferences of the fans.(Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai) Do you know why I am saying this today? 'Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai' is not known as an 'old film' even after twenty four years since its release in Mumbai. Isn't it great? On January 14, 2000, the film was released in M...

  Shotgun Shatrughan Sinha of the seventies and eighties has a very interesting story about his film entry and his film nomenclature. Shatrughan Sinha completed his acting course from the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. After completing his course in 1967, he came to Mumbai and started looking for work. His face was not meant to be a hero from any angle, so he had to struggle a lot. He initially played the roles of the protagonist and the villain. The Alumni Association was very helpful in getting him his first job. One of his seniors sent Shatrughan Sinha to Gogi Anand. Gogi Anand was Dev Anand's nephew and was assisting Dev Anand. (The same Gogi Anand later directed Dev Anand's Darling Darling.) Gogi fixed a meeting between Dev Anand and Shatrughan Sinha. Dev Anand gave him the role of a Pakistani army officer in his film 'Prem Pujari'. Dev Anand's 'Prem Pujari' was his debut as a director. Shatrughan Sinha was very happy...

    Ah, the whole world has changed internally, the speed of that change is also increasing, then there will be a difference in the 'birth of news'. Don't give proof that your age has increased by saying that the old days were not like that. In the past, news of anything good or bad happened automatically, and only in the morning when the paperman dropped the paper in the house through the door, did we know about the world from around the country and abroad. The society of that time believed that what appeared in the paper was true. There was a difference between news and advertising. Anyway, that's a different topic.(Nupur Shikhare) Now anything can be news when leaving the house. What happened to Aamir Khan's son-in-law Nupur Shikre when he left the house as a bridegroom? He has a decorated horse, a decorated horse-cart, a new model flower-decorated motor car, a loud drum beat, dancing in Isri clothes, who never got a chance to dance on t...

Comedian Mehmood of the sixties and seventies entertained the audience with his colorful roles when he got silver. Once upon a time, Mehmood was so feared that even big actors were afraid to work with him because if Mehmood was there, he would get all the credit for the film! Writer Hanif Zaveri has written a book on this Mehmood Mehmood : A man of many moods in this book he has told many 'unknown stories'. (Mehmood) I am sharing a special memory with you. Mehmood was married to Meenakumar's sister Madhu. Mehmood was virtually unemployed at the time of marriage. It was not working at all. He was doing small and big roles in the cinema. He was a driver in the car of many artists. He did not take any work seriously. So Meenakumari was very worried about her younger sister Madhu. That is why she herself used to suggest Mehmood's name to many producers. Once she suggested Mehmood's name to BR Chopra for his film 'Ek Hi Rasta'. When...

As much as the premier of movies, their anecdotes, stories, breaking news are more. Some have been in discussion for many years. But the color of a film premiere can be different. The prevailing anecdote or story of the premiere of Guru Dutt's 'Kaagaj Ke Phool' (released in Mumbai on January 2, 1959. 65 years old) at the Maratha Mandir theater is quite different. Shammi Kapoor came out shouting very loudly and said, film ka hero kaha hai?…. Someone pointed at Gurudatta on this. On that Shammi Kapoor said, Woh Nahi Yaar… Asli Hero Murthy. Just then, Shammi Kapoor's eyes went to the idols standing in the corner and he went towards them and said, Tusi great ho yaar...Kya kamal ka kaam kiya hai... The cinematographer of this film V. K. This was an important moment for Murthy. This is because the film was to present the tragedy of director Suresh Sinha (Gurudutt), the first CinemaScope film in our country and the result that director Gurudutt had hoped...
