  Ramesh Sippy's 'Sholay' is the most popular movie of the last century! Every actor in this film got special recognition. Even the artist who played a small role became famous all over the world. McMahon was one of them. In 'Sholay' he played the role of Gabbar Singh's partner Samba (Sabma). He had only one dialogue in the entire movie 'pure fifty thousand….' But this single dialogue brought him unprecedented fame. And McMahon's identity became 'Sabma'. But did you know that McMahon didn't want to be in cinema? He wanted to become a cricketer. He came to Mumbai to play cricket. But the twists of fate were such that he could not become a cricketer but earned a good reputation as a character artist in films. Another very important thing is that McMahon saw 'Sholay' almost six months after its release! Why did this happen? There is also an interesting reason for this. That is the story. McMahon (sabma) real name is...

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...

  Continuity of success cannot be sustained by the good. Ramesh Sippy's 'Sholay' was a resounding success. After this great success, he made the movie 'Shaan'. While making this film, he was always burdened with the expectations of the audience as the comparison was going to be direct with 'Sholay'. While making 'Shaan', he took great care that nothing was missing anywhere. The star cast, music, scenery, locations, technology, cinematography were all ahead of time. But the fog of Sholay in the eyes of the audience had not yet come down. They kept comparing Shaan with Sholay frame to frame. Why did the audience not even think of 'Shaan' as an independent film and criticized the movie by giving headlines that 'Shaan' is not the 'Shaan' of 'Sholay'. The reason for remembering all this today is that it is now thirty-five years since 'Shaan' was released on December 12, 1980. At least today, can we neutrally thi...

  Dilipkumar's birth anniversary In fact, birth centenary. On this occasion I would like to tell you readers something different, but I mainly remembered two films starring Dilip Kumar. 'Chanakya' and 'Kalinga'. Dilip Kumar's true devotees must have remembered both the 'unfortunately unreleased' films. There are innumerable films in the history of the film industry that have gone from being announced and hyped to being completed. It's also a flashback. It is also a part of film history. In fact, more films are shelved at some stage of production and for some reason than are released. Money, time, energy, dreams, hopes and expectations are forever wasted in it, it can never be counted. Along with that, many good themes (story ideas), hopes of many (this film will give a lift to your career) all go wrong. It cannot be measured at all. Meaning, countless films are left to hit the screens. This focus on two particularly interest...

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 toda...

Being in the media, without 'Dhyanimani', there is no telling when, which, you can walk up to a good opportunity... Mumtaz, who was well immersed in the world, unexpectedly made a comeback in the film industry.  After seeing Mumtaz at the party in a five-star hotel in Juhu for the announcement of this film, I thought, why is she coming back to the screen when 'Naktya Nakacha To Tadka' is not attracting attention?  After seeing the picture and flapping it, it was sealed.  (Double roll) But on the occasion of this picture, the grace of Pahlaj Nihalani gave a nice sum of independent interview of Mumtaz.  When I learned yesterday's Mumtaz from today's Mumtaz, I got a huge shock.  Mumtaz was saying, Shashi Kapoor, Jitendra, Dharmendra initially refused to accept me as a heroine while I was taking the next step as a heroine by moving as a junior dancer, a stunt movie heroine, a co-heroine in a mainstream film... (Double roll) In this regard, she gave the example of ...
