  Even though the lyrics were not ready, the composer didn't know what the lyrics were, and there was no idea who was going to sing the song, the shooting of the song was completed! You must be puzzled; How is this possible? But this funny thing is true. Composer Salil Chaudhary was giving music for the movie 'Rajni Gandha' in 1973. He sent the tune of the title song of the film to the director of the film Basu Chatterjee. After listening to this tune, one day Basuda's phone came to Salilada and he said, 'Dada apne this picture ka jo title song bana rahe hai wo thoda 14 seconds kam kar do' Salilada said to Basunda why? Agar aisa hain to aap 14 sec kad jada kar lenna! Salida was shocked by what Basud said. Basuda said, nahi dada, gana to humne pelehi shoot kar liya hai! Now it was Salilad's turn to be surprised. Jo gana abih record hi nahi hua wo apne pehle kaise shoot kiya? The real joke was that this song was not being sung by...

  This world of cinema is a big strange world! Here, those who really want to make a career cannot play big innings, while those who do not want to work in cinema at all, play big innings. Something similar happened with two sisters. In our field of Hindi cinema, there is a very old tradition of sisters in films. Two sisters Nutan and Tanuja were popular in the sixties, then Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor became popular in the nineties. Meanwhile, in the eighties, two sisters entered the field of cinema. Actress Farah and actress Tabu! Both of them are natives of Hyderabad. Farah looks very beautiful. But Tabu does not fit the definition of female beauty according to her. A bit Tom Boyish, shadowy, taller, with a big nose! The difference in beauty between the two sisters is like heaven and earth. Farah, however, was like 'Por Pandhrachi Kor Chandrachi'. Tender and tender like a cow's leg. So naturally there wa...

  Every actor in the history of Hindi cinema has his own iconic dialogues, which make him recognizable. Amjad Khan's dialogue like 'Are O Samba..' from the movie Sholay or Amrish Puri's 'Mogambo Khush Hua'. Rajesh Khanna's 'Ro Mat Pushpa I Hate Tears' or Amitabh Bachchan's 'Peter, Tum Mujhe Bahur Khundo Ra Ho Aur Mai Tumhara Intezaar Hiye Intezaar Kar Raha Ho' by Rajesh Khanna have become iconic dialogues in Indian cinema. The villain Prem Chopra's dialogue 'Prem Naam Hai Mera, Prem Chopra' in the movie 'Bobby' has become a huge hit. Even though there is only one dialogue, this character emerges in the film, which is great for a director like Raj Kapoor. To create a separate identity for each character in the film! Raj Kapoor is called the Midas touch, it's not a lie. But did you know? Prem Chopra did not like this dialogue at all. He was also not happy with his role in this film. He also often felt that he accepte...

  An actor can last long in a Mayanagari like Bollywood, when he discipline himself along with his art and focus on his work, maintaining professionalism without being swayed by trend or stardom, actress Rekha is a name considered in the industry for this! Rekha, who works with her principled work, has created a niche in Bollywood with her acting, but along with this, some of the controversies she has done or been involved with has made her a subject of gossip for the audience. (Saroj Khan) One such gossip caused a controversy between Rekha and Bollywood's well-known and senior choreographer Saroj Khan! Saroj Khan is no longer with us today but we will always remember her through her songs, choreography and stories; Such was his memorable anecdote for the film industry about the controversy between Rekha and Saroj Khan. When Sarojji choreographed for Rekha (Saroj Khan) for the film Seshnag, according to her, it was the hardest work of her life. In 1989...

  Everyone has some dreams in life. His efforts to make it a reality are also ongoing and do we forget our responsibility in accepting that dream when it actually comes before us? Actress Kajol had a similar question. This anecdote is important because in the end it is your commitment that counts. A word to a friend is important.  This is the story of the friendship between actress Kajol and director Karan Johar. When Karan Johar first entered the field of directing, his first film was 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. Kajol was the heroine of this film. Karan Johar also cast Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji in the film. Karan Johar was very enthusiastic about his directorial debut. At that time, he was also a good friend with Kajol. They both used to talk to each other about their dream project. Kajol always told Karan, "I want to work with director Mani Ratnam at least once in my life. I like his movies a lot. That day will...

  My mind went back to the seventies i.e. my school and college age until the news of the remake of Hrshikesh Mukherjee directed 'Bavarchi' and 'Milli', Gulzar directed 'Koshish' reached me. Those days were different. The cultural environment was different then. (Original Movie) In the seventies there was a multi-level turnover in all sectors. There was an intrusion. While a lot was happening in Hindi cinema, Amitabh Bachchan's Angry Young Man stormed, the multi-starrer boom started with 'Sholay', the success of 'Jai Santoshi Maa' (released on 30 May 1975) stirred the social and family atmosphere. There was a wave of mythological films. A fertile environment was created for the development of parallel or New Wave films from 'Bhuvan Shome' (1970) directed by Mrinal Sen. In this way, quality films, i.e. clean entertainment films, took shape. (Original Movie) According to me Hrshikesh Mukherjee directed 'Anand' laid the foundatio...

  Rajesh Khanna prefers to interview us film journalists at Khar's office of his Ashirwad film rather than giving an interview 'on the set' of a film and to a single journalist on a single day, separately and at length. A good riding mood is all that is needed. (“Kuch Bhi Pochho” was too much of a freedom for him). But what happens? More attention was paid to the silver or golden jubilee trophies behind him than to him. Well, so many of his pictures were super hits that those trophies were telling his success. It is certain that the Jubilee Trophies of the success of many such Marathi and Hindi films will attract attention at Sulochanadidi's house as well. I always felt the intimacy in that setting and it also highlighted that he played a variety of characters. I have always thought that there should be an artist's house. (Hit Movie Trophies Memory) We often used to go to the old Raxi Theater in Girgaon to watch the movies. Then it was a ...
