In an alternate universe, Mr <b style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">is still alive, and he has been making films all his life. In an alternate universe all is right with the world and tragedies are fewer. In an alternate universe melancholy would not have taken away a genius from Indian Cinema.</span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;"><br /></span></span></span>

While he did excel in that, he made a very very wide range of films, from acting in swashbucklers to directing film noirs, from making comedies to producing tight police procedural In keeping with our tradition, here is a list of 5 films which he directed that you should watch</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">There is a story which is part of the film lore that two young men Guru Dutt and Dev Anand became friends while working for Prabhat Films, Pune. They both had come to the film industry to make their mark not just as actors but also as directors and producers. and as a gesture of friendship they promised each other to Star in a film directed by the other and vice versa. Baazi was a result of that promise.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">It was an excellent film-noir, with an anti-hero Dev Anand who spends his time gambling, beautiful women singing and dancing in SpeakEasys, and a righteous heroine who brings the hero away from his wayward ways. </span></span><br />

While Guru Dutt had acted in several films by then, this was his first film as a lead actor. It was Guru Dutt doing a Douglas-Fairbanks turn, in a movie about 16th century Konkan coast with K N Singh playing a Portuguese general and Geeta Bali playing a renegade princess turned pirate. It is also one of the rare Indian films to be set mostly at Sea.</span></span></span><br />

Paired with the most beautiful woman in the world, aided by a zany plot about stipulations of marriage for her to earn her father's fortune and playing a cartoonist who is frustrated with the world around him, add to it Johnny Walker at his best. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;">Pyaasa is not only Guru Dutt's finest film, it is also one of the best films ever made. It explores love, estrangement, disillusion and the fickle nature of human beings. Guru Dutt played a poet who never gets his due until he is mistakenly declared dead after a dead beggar is found wearing his coat. (perhaps a cruel mirror of Guru Dutt's own legacy, his fame reached his heights in 80s with a revival in German and French cinema circles), the publishers and his friends literally feast on the mileage gained by The Death of A Poet and his poems sell. Finally when Guru Dutt comes back and proves that he is alive his friends and family again waste no time in using this to their personal advantage. In the end Guru Dutt condemns this hypocrisy of the world in the epic song 'Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai' and leaves society with his love.</span></div>

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;">It was film which broke Guru Dutt's heart, and it was a film which would have made him proud had he been alive today. Film scholars say that the Suresh Sinha in the film is the director Gyan Mukherjee (who made the superhit and excellent Kismet) who was his mentor at Bombay Talkies, while in the aftermath of his life people also find parallels between the loneliness of Guru Dutt's own life, his unrequited love for Waheeda Rahman and how his films did not get the recognition that they deserved.</span></div>

There are no limits, literally none to what 'Mad Jack' Nicholson can achieve. He is the actor with the most nominations for Best Actor in Oscar history, he is the only actor to have been nominated in every decade (apart from Michael Caine) and is the only one of the three people to have won 3 oscars for acting (two for best actor and one for best supporting actor). He has portrayed a wide range of characters, most of them lovable, many of them likeable from a distance, and a few of them outright scary.<br />
<br />
He has straddled the path of being the bad boy of hollywood, along with being one of the most respected actors of multiple generations (there was a joke in Mad Magazine once about his gardener being able to book a table at high class New York restaurants on the virtue of being His gardener).<br />
<br />
He is an acting institution in himself (young Leo and others imitate him with Great Success), to watch him is to watch films at their finest. And if you are not properly introduced to John Joseph 'Jack' Nicholson, the following five films will act as a good starting point.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Chinatown</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JnUaelFJhoM/VTfffHpcBOI/AAAAAAAACFo/_rXwAo5dj-4/s1600/chinatown_ver3_xlg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JnUaelFJhoM/VTfffHpcBOI/AAAAAAAACFo/_rXwAo5dj-4/s1600/chinatown_ver3_xlg.jpg" height="320" width="237" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
This movie has one of the best last lines in the history of cinema. This movie is one of the best noir films in the history of cinema. A dark and gritty film about a Private Detective getting caught in a whirlpool of strange conspiracy by a beautiful damsel in distress, it is about a loner going against a system to widely corrupt that it is impossible for him to win (and yet you root for him) because Jack Nicholson's Jake is at par with the best in hard-boiled protagonists.<br />
<br />
The movie has a complex conspiratorial plot which keeps you guessing till the very end, often leaves you despondent and yet makes you hope against hope for Jake to succeed. And it is the power of Roman Polanski and Jack Nicholson who bring this story alive on screen.<br />
<br />
If you are a fan of detective crime films and can stomach a punch to the gut, you shouldnt miss out on Chinatown.<br />
<br />
<b>2. The Passenger</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Straight out of Chinatown, Jack Nicholson went to Italy and starred in Passenger, an intriguing story about the cost of assuming false identities.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yWgc6kFqo4w/VTfiSLsuPSI/AAAAAAAACF0/13B3uCmdwoo/s1600/51lCyWm8KFL._SY355_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yWgc6kFqo4w/VTfiSLsuPSI/AAAAAAAACF0/13B3uCmdwoo/s1600/51lCyWm8KFL._SY355_.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Like Chinatown, The Passenger has a heartbreakingly in-genuine plot at the center of its story. It has a reporter who fakes his own death because he is tired of his own life, and then assumes the identity of another man (who he does not know is a drug-runner, and this leads to a lot of complications). It is a tale of loss, of betrayal and yet of a man finding himself by exchanging his life with someone else.<br />
<br />
They do not make films like Passenger anymore.<br />
<br />
<b>3. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GW1fVQIlfFM/VTfkf4Q8B_I/AAAAAAAACGA/GAOj7YhR_1M/s1600/large_srr59GKJdDXPwnWlew9NoYfOvYV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GW1fVQIlfFM/VTfkf4Q8B_I/AAAAAAAACGA/GAOj7YhR_1M/s1600/large_srr59GKJdDXPwnWlew9NoYfOvYV.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This is not just one of Jack Nicholson's best film, this is one of the best films EVER made. For a story set entirely in the confines of a sanitarium, it helps you find hope in the weirdest of places. Jack unleashed his entire acting powerhouse in this film (check out the official poster, it says Jack Nicholson in almost the same size as the movie's name).<br />
<br />
Jack Nicholson went on to win an Oscar for his portrayal of Randle Macmurphy, a sane man in this mad world. It is hard to describe how efficient he is in this particular role. He went on to win his first oscar for the film.<br />
<br />
At the risk of sounding cliched I would say - see it to believe it.<br />
<br />
<b>4. The Shining</b><br />

'Here's....Johnyyyyy!'<br />
<br />
I kid you not, it was the prowess of the horror that Jack Nicholson could conjure up which made one endearing line about America's favourite TV host (Johnny Carson) into something infinitely scary.<br />
<br />
This movie scared an entire nation, and continues to scare movie watchers to this day. It is correct to say it was Stanley Kubrick's bordering on the insane genius which brought this Stephen King book to life with an eerie (often referenced in pop culture) ambience and strange side scenes, but it was the traumatic, decent into hell and madness of a family man portrayed by Jack Nicholson which is the USP of this movie and this is where Jack Nicholson showed his potential of scaring the hell out of his audience.<br />
<br />
And of course the movie gave the world this iconic axe-wielding door breaking scene.<br />
<br />
Watch it, but not with the lights out. Its more dangerous.<br />

<b>5. As Good As it Gets</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This particular movie is this writer's personal favourite of the actor's Oeuvre. Partially because the central character is a writer.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Jack Nicholson plays Melvin Udall, a hopelessly racist, homophobic, sociopath, neurotic writer who is successful in what he does, but is (perhaps as a result of the success) a dick to everyone around him. You immediately start off by disliking Melvin, but his eccentricity is at time adorable and it keeps you from completely hating him.<br />
<br />
The movie also has the beautiful Helen Hunt holding her own against The Big Jack, and it is about watching the aforementioned all around bastard Melvin slowly (very slowly) turning over a new leaf, by trying not to be a dick to everyone.<br />
<br />
The movie is a comedy, and it is one of those films which when ends makes you start missing the main characters.<br />
<br />
Jack won his second best actor oscar for this film, and if you havent seen ANY of the films starring Jack, then this is a good starting point.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
Admittedly this was an ensemble cast movie (missing from the poster - big names like Martin Sheen, Mark 'The Fighter' Wahlberg and Alec 'Fuck You, that's my name!' Baldwin) and it was a sprawling crime saga with multiple foci point. However, it was Jack who (in a good way) chewed the scenery in every scene that he was in. He played mob boss Frank Costello, and to put his acting chops in a nut-shell, there is a scene in which he tells Dicaprio (who acts a police-rat inside a mob) that he smells a rat, and he imitates a rat. In that particular scene he ACTUALLY becomes a rat by the power of his acting.<br />
<br />
That my friends, is Jack Nicholson for you.<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday great sir, may you grace us with a few good films more.<br />

Madhubala - the ethereal beauty, the innocent smile and the eyes to charm stones. Born as Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi, Madhubala never wanted to become an actress, but somehow entered Bollywood at the age of 9 as a child artist to support her family. During the course of her short but a dazzling life, she acted in more than 70 movies setting the screen on fire with her surreal charm and natural acting abilities. Her resume includes the envelope-pushing characters from a 16th century court dancer to a ghost to a modern woman who changed the norms<br />

<br />
We celebrated her birth day a week back. Today we are going to look at her top 5 performances in films<br />
<br />
Before we start, I would like to do some honorable mentions to some really great films like Chalti ka naam gaadi, Half Ticket, Amar, Dulari, Howrah Bridge and Jhumroo where she set the tune by her brilliant acting. But where she shone even more and took away the breath of audiences is some paramount work. So here we go<br />
<br />
5) Kala Pani - 1958<br />
Produced by Dev Anand under the Navketan banner, Kala pani was a major success when it released. Jeweled with magisterial music by Dada Burman, the film showed the on-screen romance between Madhu and Dev like never before. The movie’s script was based on A.J. Cronin’s novel, Beyond This Place. Madhubala played the character of a journalist Asha who helps Dev sahab to prove his innocence and also solve a murder mystery. The film also has this 'chanchal' side of Madhubala with the song 'Achha ji mai haari' sung michieveously by Rafi and Asha<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
4) Mr & Mrs 55 -1955<br />
Despite being famous for making melancholic sad dramas, Guru Dutt perhaps made one of the pioneers of rom-com genre in Mr & Mrs '55. In a romantic saga engulfing the lead actress played by Madhubala to be rich heiress who is forced to live the simple life of a traditional woman. This film is refreshing particularly with Madhu playing the role of a rich, snobbish 20 year old. The film had brilliant music by O.P.Nayyar and lyrics by Majrooh saab.One of the most iconic moments in the films is when Lalita Pawar asks Guru Dutt - “tum communist ho?” (are you a communist?) with Preetam replying “ji nahin cartoonist” (no, I am a cartoonist).<br />

<br />
<br />
3) Barsaat ki Raat - 1960<br />
Barsaat ki raat is a classic in all aspects. It was a revolutionary film at its times. Although it got more notice for 2 major reasons - it came head to head with K Asif's Magnum Opus - Mughal e Azam and secondly for its divine soundtrack composed by Roshan saab. But beyond that the film was a breakthough for many other reasons. Madhubala plays a muslim girl in Hyderabad who takes the bold decision of running away from home and marry a 'shaayar' Bharat Bhooshan. The film is full of melodic scenes and somewhat like Pyaasa is drenched with 'shaayari' and 'qawwali'. The film reaches a crescendo at the end with a qawwali competition in Lucknow where Madhubala comes running after hearing Bharat Bhushan's voice. Immaculate, touching and musical. Almost perfect<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2) Mughal e Azam - 1960<br />
Mughal e Azam is definitely the most famous film of Madhubala. It was a film of grandeur, surprising and shocking the audiences with the brilliance of K Asif and his vision to make a film which can not be made again. The film took almost a whole decade to be complete and broke all box office records on its release. The film stars Dilip and Madhu - the best pair possible (on screen and off) but even there Madhubala steals the show with those eyes, smiles and tears. Voiced on by Lata ji on some of the most memorable soundtracks ever created in Indian cinema (tuned by Naushad), Madhubala looks in a league of her own. Whether it's the shy Indian lady in Mohe panghat pe Nandlal or the lady fighting for love in qawwali - Teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar. But the highest point in the film is achieved, not surprisingly at' 'Jab Pyaar kiya to darna kya'. It is often said that she suffered abrasions on her skin and fainted during the filming of the movie due to its harsh demands and her delicate health. But she was determined to finish the film at any cost.She ended up giving one of the most sterling and memorable performances in history of Indian cinema<br />

<br />
1) Mahal - 1949<br />
If someone has Mughal-E-Azam up her sleeve, its almost impossible to think of something that could better it, but then Madhubala had Mahal as her pathbreaking film. Released in 1949, when she was only 16, Mahal was a phenomenal film and first of it's kind. The genere of gothic-noir-fiction in India was pretty much unexplored before Kamal Amrohi made this legendary film for Bombay Talkies. Madhubala stormed into the filmy scene of Bombay with this film and pretty much stole the show in the film too. There has been word round the campfire that Madhubala outscreened Suraiya for this film and the role was pretty much written with Suraiya in mind. Once Madhubala appeared on-screen and dazzled the viewers, any thoughts of someone else playing the role, went out of the window. This song made 2 stars - Madhubala and Lata mangeshkar. With the hauntingly brilliant melody - Aayega aanewala, composed by legendary Khemchand Prakash, both of them shot to fame and glory.The film has become etched in the memories of the viewers and the ghostly white face of madhubala appears everytime one thinks of the film.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For die hard Filmi fans like us, 2014 started on a <i>शायराना</i> note with Abhishek Chaubey's urdu दावत <b>Dedh Ishqiya</b> and ended with Anurag Kashyap's dark, gloomy and fantastic <b>Ugly</b>. In spite of having stunning underrated films like Ankhon Dekhi, Filmistan, Sulemani Keeda and several other biggies like Queen, Haider, Highway and Dedh Ishqiya, 2014 was rather gloomy compared to terrific 2012 and 2013.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So as it is said </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">रात गयी बात गयी </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, we will move away from 2014 and think of amazing films that awaits us in 2015. So just like our last year's post,<span id="goog_600193898"></span><span id="goog_600193899"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">we are back with yet another list where we talk about 20 Most Anticipated Films of 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">20. <b>Main Aur Charles</b></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Director</b> - Prawaal Raman</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Cast</b> - Randeep Hooda, Richa Chadda & Adil Hussain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Prawaal Raman is a very underrated director. Barring ultra bore Tusshar Kapoor starrer Gayab (2004), Raman has given us two very different horror films in form of Darna Mana Hai (certain stories were brilliantly directed) and unnoticed psychological horror thriller 404 Error Not Found (2011). His next, Main Aur Charles is about famous conmen and serial killer Charles Shobraj (starring Randeep Hooda in the title role) who was known for his </span>notorious serial murders and passport forgeries. Considering the enigmatic lifestyle of Shobraj, Raman's film can serve as great thriller set in '70s and '80s. Also it will be refreshing to see Raman attempting something other than horror genre.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing that is sure about R. Balki films is that they come with truckloads of feel good feelings and Ilaiyaraaja's music. Whether it be unconventional romance in Cheeni Kum (2007) or a heartwarming father - son story in Paa (2009), both films had that refreshing treatment to it. His next, Shamitabh revolves around our very own Bollywood film industry. A superstar lends his voice to deaf and mute junior artist but when junior artist becomes a star, an ego clash breaks out between the two over the success of film. Film will also have eminent film and TV celebrities doing cameos alike Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A Mumbai Mirror movie critic turned script writer/director Karan Anshuman's debut Bangistan is political satire shot extensively in Poland. It narrates the story of 2 aspiring terrorists but from opposite religions whose goofy acts will make an impact on world's peace. The prime reason for anticipating this film is that it is been produced by Excel Entertainment (Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani) who in past have given chance to budding filmmakers to showcase their talents and have churned out smart comedies in form of Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (Reema Kagti) and Fukrey (Mrigdeep Singh Lamba). Also it would be interesting to see Riteish Deshmukh doing a satire after all those non sense slapstick comedies he has done all these years.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kabir Khan's filmmaking sensibilities are quite oscillatory. If he pulled out YRF from those sappy romances with his hard hitting docu drama Kabul Express (2006) and an amazing emotional story depicting the aftermath of 9/11 attacks in New York (2009) then he also shocked us with ridiculous spy love story starring bhai in Ek Tha Tiger (2012). But going by the story of Phantom, which is based on S Hussain Zaidi's unreleased book about Indian secret agent who is recruited to combat global terrorism post 26/11 attacks. Film was shot in tension filled regions of Lebanon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After his stunning Yahaan (2007), Shoojit Sircar was about to start his next titled Shoebite/Johnny Walker starring Amitabh Bachchan but that film got cancelled due to row between two production companies (Percept and UTV). Since then he always wanted to do a film with Big B but never got a script suiting him. After making National Award winning Vicky Donor (2012) & Madras Cafe (2013), Shoojit is back with a heartwarming father - daughter relationship set against the backdrop of Kolkata. Deepika Padukone is in great form post Ram Leela and Finding Fanny and Irrfan does wonder when he is teamed with brilliant directors and actors. So it will be amazing to see how Shoojit brings out the best performances from Big B, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan. Also film will mark the debut of noted Bengali composer Anupam Roy.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">After stellar debut with Manorama Six Feet Under (2006), Navdeep Singh faced disappointment when two of his upcoming projects - Rock The Shaadi (a Big Fat Punjabi Wedding meets Zombie Comedy) and Basra both starring Abhay Deol were shelved. Finally he is directing his next which is horror thriller about the road trip of couple gone wrong with enough dose of women empowerment. Film is co-produced by Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films and Anushka Sharma's Clean Slate Films.</span></div>

SRK film on this list can raise some questions on my taste in movies. Even though the kind of crap that SRK is doing now doesn't take away that this same actor has given us some memorable performances with films like Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na (1993), Swades (2004), Chak De India (2007) & Devdas (2002). Fan will have SRK playing double role - one that of a die hard fan & other of the biggest superstar of Bollywood. Another reason I anticipate this film is because it is been directed by Maneesh Sharma who made a very accomplished debut with his Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) and gave one of the honest and researched rom-coms (Shuddh Desi Romance; 2013) in recent times. The renowned special effects makeup maestro and 3 times Oscar winner, Greg Cannom (famous for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Dracula & Mrs. Doubtfire) has worked on developing the look of SRK in the film.</div>

Her last film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) was about 3 friends who discover themselves on an adventurous road trip in Spain. Her next, Dil Dhadakne Do is about a dysfunctional family on a Cruise in Europe. Interestingly, Zoya had approached Ranbir Kapoor & Kareena Kapoor to play siblings while Katrina Kaif & Hrithik Roshan would play their respective better halves but due to several issues entire cast got revamped. Now, Ranveer Singh & Priyanka Chopra play siblings and Anushka Sharma & Farhan Akhtar play their respective better halves. Anil Kapoor & Shefali Shah will play parents to Ranveer & Priyanka. Expecting some eye popping cinematography by Carlos Catalan & music by SEL.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Bejoy Nambiar made one of the coolest and stylish film debuts in recent times with Shaitan (2011) and followed up that quirky style in his 13 episode TV Series MTV Rush but sadly his last work Da</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">vid (though beautifully shot) wasn't even close to his previous works. But having seen the trailer of Wazir we feel assured that Bejoy is back. Trailer has distinct Bejoy Nambiar visual style with </span></span><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">flashes</span></span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> of noir in it. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Though it is not clear from the trailer what exactly is the plot of the film (something related to terrorism in Kashmir, that's what it seems from some stills in promo) but it would be great to see Amitabh Bachchan as paralysed retired Chess Grandmaster and Farhan Akhtar as an ATS cop. Also penned by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Abhijat Joshi & edited by Rajkumar Hirani.</span></span></div>

Vikas Bahl directed Queen (2014) which is one of the best coming-of-age films in recent times. His next, Shaandaar revolves around two insomniacs (Shahid Kapur & Alia Bhatt) who fall in love over an elaborate destination wedding. Having worked in his father's film (Mausam), this is first time Shahid Kapur & Pankaj Kapur will share screen along with his sister Sanah Kapur. Strangely Bahl has assigned Pankaj Kapur as Alia's father while Karan Johar will play Shahid's father. Music by Amit Trivedi & editing by Anurag Kashyap. Shahid post Haider is in terrific form while Alia Bhatt has shown her acting prowess with Highway. Would be exciting to see how Vikas extracts performances from them.</div>

After the disappointment of Agent Vinod (though long uncut picturisation of Raabta was stunning), Sriram Raghavan is back with Badlapur that reminds us of his earlier works (Ek Hasina Thi & Johnny Gaddaar) full with pulpy neo noir and gritty action. Badlapur narrates the story of Raghu (Varun Dhawan) who is keen to take revenge from Liak (Nawazuddin Siddique) who killed his family 15 years ago. Exciting female leads - Huma Qureshi, Yami Gautam, Radhika Apte & Divya Dutta. It would be fascinating to see Varun Dhawan play intense character that takes him out of his comfort zone and those chocolate boy looks.</div>

Acclaimed cinematographer Rajeev Ravi's wife Geetu Mohandas, an acclaimed Malayalam actress turned director made her debut with this little film called Liar's Dice. The film went on to win 2 National Awards in 2014 for Best Actress (Geetanjali Thapa) & Best Cinematography (Rajeev Ravi) and was selected as India's official entry for Oscar 2015. But sadly did not get nomination but has made its presence felt at several film festivals (Mumbai, Sundance, Sofia International etc.). It's even more sad that very few even knew about this little gem. Liar's Dice narrates the story of a young mother Kamala (Geetanjali Thapa) who sets out from her tribal village near India China border in search of her missing husband in Delhi with the help of an unreliable con men (Nawazuddin Siddique).</div>

For me the genre of Period Horror Thriller itself is so luring.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Danis Tanovic who previously directed Oscar winner No Man's Land (2001), directs Tigers (previously titled White Lies) which narrates the story of young salesman Ayan (Emraan Hashmi) in a pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan who is devastated when he discovers the ill-effects of the infant formula he is peddling and challenges the system and power related to it. This typical David v/s Goliath story is narrated from the POV of documentary filmmakers who are filming a documentary on the life of Ayan instead of simple story from the POV of Ayan. This kind of genre of Docu-drama thriller is yet to be explored in our film industry and hence makes this one really enticing. Tigers is a co-production between India, France & Britain and has been produced by Anurag Kashyap & Guneet Monga. Tigers got a respectable applause at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and music will be by Pritam.</div>

2. <b>Nyodda</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Director</b> - Meghna Gulzar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cast</b> - Irrfan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Neeraj Kabi & Tabu</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It must not have been easy for Meghna Gulzar to always live up to the expectations of her father Gulzar's directorial works. After making decent debut with Filhaal (2002) and okay-ish Just Married (2007), Meghna Gulzar returns to movies with Nyodda after 8 long years. Produced and written by Vishal Bharadwaj, Nyodda is fictional dramatization of shocking and sensational Aarushi Talwar & Hemraj double murder case. Film is believed to have some terrific performances from Irrfan (as Investigative officer), Konkana Sen Sharma (as mother), Neeraj Kabi (as father) and Tabu in a special appearance. Just like rest of his films, music will be by Vishal himself and lyrics by Gulzar. The reason this film comes at this spot surpassing Bombay Velvet and others is it will be quite interesting to see how VB & Meghna dramatise one of the complex and shocking double murder mystery (which is supposed to be a shocking case of honour killing) in recent times.</div>

1. <b>Titli</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Director</b> - Kanu Behl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cast</b> - Ranvir Shorey, Shashank Arora, Amit Sial, Lalit Behl & Shivani Raghuvanshi</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the top spot is reserved for debutant Kanu Behl whose Titli was showcased in Un Certain Regard Section at Cannes 2014. Co-produced by YRF & Dibakar Banerjee, Titli is set in dystopian Delhi where the youngest member Titli (Shashank Arora) of a violent carjacking family plots an escape.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">His struggle to do so is countered at each stage by his indignant brothers, who finally try marrying him off to 'settle' him.</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Titli, finds an unlikely ally in his new wife, caught though she is in her own web of warped reality and dysfunctional dreams. They form a strange, beneficial partnership, only to confront their inability to escape the bindings of their family roots. Will they be able to escape the violent nature of their family? Being an </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">assistant</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> to Dibakar Banerjee, Kanu Behl's treatment to the film is awe-inspiring. It is said to be the most unusual role for Ranvir Shorey and marks the return of talented actor Amit Sial after Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2010). But the best part is that this film is co-produced by YRF and I am glad that they are investing all those crores they earned from mindless hits like </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">Dhoom</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> 3 in Indie stuff like this. Hope other major production house also starts operating in this way.</span></span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Honorable Mention</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> - This film was </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">deliberately not included in above list because a Kamal Swaroop film surpasses all the Most Anticipated list that can ever be created. His films irrespective of everything are MUST MUST watch.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> After directing highly surreal satire Om Dar-Ba-Dar, auteur Kamal Swaroop returns to the director's chair after 26 long years (</span></span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Rangbhoomi</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> was an exception) and result is this brilliant documentary </span></span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Dance For Democracy</b><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">This documentary film by Kamal Swaroop attempts to provide an insight into the complex political structure of India, world's largest democracy, in the historic city of Banaras during the </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">campaigning</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> of Narendra Modi & Arvind Kejriwal for Lok Sabha Elections in 2014. Just take a look at its trailer and you will be amazed and mesmerised by Swaroop's visual and musical sense.

<b style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Muhammad Yusuf Khan </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">aka Dilip Kumar along with Lata Mangeshkar is the only surviving warrior in Bollywood. In a career spanning across 6 decades, it won't be an exaggeration to put him at the pinnacle of screen acting in India. Starting his career in 1944 with Amiya Chakravarty's Jwar Bhata, he never looked back. India's first method actor, India's first superstar, an inspiration to generations of budding actors, Yusuf defined Indian cinema. He has seen Bollywood grow with him. All his companions, competitors, co-stars, musicians, singers left us, but he has survived the tide.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">In his career, he was part of some of the best music created and being very deeply aware of the musical nuances, he was someone who just wouldn't call a song a song unless it was a good one (Let's not talk about songs from Quila here). People do go senile, ask Dev Sahab for that matter. Anyways here I am going to talk about top 10 songs picturised on Dilip Sahab. It's not the list of best songs, its the list of my favourite songs on him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">So let's start</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">1) Yahan badla wafa ka bewafai ke siwa kya hai</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Film: Jugnu (1947)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">MD: Firoz Nizami</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">This was a duet with legendary Noorjehan before she migrated to Pakistan. It is one of the few songs where Rafi has this nasal tone about the voice. This song doesnt cary much trivia or weight as such besides the fact that it was one of the first collaboration between Rafi saab and Yusuf saab. The song became a superhit and Rafi and Noorjehan were propelled to unmatched heights</span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">One of the earliest patriotic songs post independence - 'watan ki raah' was a monumental song in every aspect. Penned brilliantly by Raja Mehndi Ali Khan and picturised on Dilip Kumar and Kamini Kaushal, this is the song that inspired Dharmender to get into acting. This was another song that pushed Rafi up the ladder during those trying times for singers. The other voice in the song is Khan Mastana. Dilip Sahab's characterisation got him universal applause for the film and this song in general as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">This sad yet melancholic song about the lost childhood love is the highlight of the 1951 blockbuster Deedar. Rendered effortlessly yet brilliantly by Mohammad Rafi saab and picturised on an ever sad Dilip saab, this song and the film overall, helped in cementing the label of tragedy king. The lyrics were penned by Shaqeel Badayuni as expected. This was just the beginning of Dilip-Rafi-Naushad-Shaqeel partnership that lasted almost 2 decades</span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Yes Dilip sahab was not all about Rafi, not all about Naushad saab. This brilliant song is composed by magical duo Shankar-Jaikishan and sung by Talat Mehmood. One of the finest compositions of 1952, Daag had some brilliant songs like Koi nahi mera is duniya me, preet ye kaisi bol ri duniya and hum dard ke maaron ka itna hi fasana hai. How Dilip sahab used to do lyp-sync to the sad songs without going overboard and without being melodramatic is something for every actor to learn</span></span><br />

The song is about when the beloved is on the brink of being sacrificed. The undertone is dark and sad and beautiful. Another Rafi gem, rendered magnificently (running out of adjectives). Other songs of Udan Khatola were classics as well including the melodious and sad - No ro ae dil by lata didi</span><br />

Boasting of classic songs all around like the evergreen Uden Jab Jab zulfein teri or the pop culture in itself - Ye desh hai veer jawano ka, Naya Daur was also landmark for Asha Bhosle who was OP's first choice in a Lata world. Maang ke sath tumhara was written by poet supreme Sahir Ludhiyanvi and the song has the signature OPN style with Punjabi folk and use of horse hoofs with ghunghroo.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Yahudi was a milestone film by legendary director Bimal Roy. SJ were not his first choice, Roy was always Salil Chaudhry patron but his views must have changed after the soundtrack of Yahudi. SJ gave some really amazing songs for the film and the highlight of the album was 'ye mere deewanapan hai'. Written by Shailendra and sung by Mukesh, the song also became one of those songs which keeps coming back. It has ben used multiple times in bollywood and has become an icon</span></span><br />

Despite featuring a lot of towering hits like Do sitaron ka zameen par hai milan and Zara mann ki kewadia khol, the standout song remains Madhuban me. Composed in Raga Hamir and sung in semi-classical mode by Rafi, the song soared to heights of popularity. Dilip sahab confessed that he delayed the shooting of the song for months as he was trying to learn Sitar for the song.</span></span><br />

This song from the 1974 movie <i>Roti </i>is reminiscence of the
fact that the shell life of an actress is much less as compared to the peer
actors. There were times, when if an actress got married, she was never offered any lead role and after some years she will be offered the role of a Mother and Mother-in-Law. With the passage of time, this mentality has changed
and these days even married actresses like <i>Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor, Kajol</i> are inspiring script writers to offer them lead heroine roles and write exclusively for them.<o:p></o:p></div>

However, in this article, neither are we going to talk about
women empowerment in Hindi movie industry nor are we going to list down 10
career defining roles for Hindi Movie Actress. In every industry, there are
a few people who come and create some hype and hoopla around themselves and encash it with the momentary fame. Today we will take a dig at 5 such actress
of 80s and 90s who entered the silver screen with a bang and created lot of stir with their sensuousness
and left the scene. Here we are going to have a look at some actresses who took over the industry with a storm in their initial phase but could never sustain the momentum and finally got phased out in future, despite being associated with quite a lot of blockbusters.

She is one actress from the 90s who enjoyed her moment of
fame by her seducing art in the pre-naughty america times in Hindi Movies.It was tough to trace her debut movie but according to IMDB her first movie was <i>Adisaya Piravi </i>which had <i>Rajnikanth </i>in the lead(I have no fucking clue!!). She was then seen in the 1991 movie <i>Naachnewaale Gaanewaale </i>a movie remembered for <i>Kadar Khan</i> and <i>Shakti Kapoor's</i> camaraderie and <i>Sukhwinder Singh's</i> song before <i>Dil Se</i> made him a household name.</div>

The movie bombed at the box-office and till now there had
been divided opinions among people on this movie (Some people claim that this
was way ahead of its time and was made at a time when such movies were a rarity
in Bollywood), one thing was clear that it was the other actress <i>Amrita Singh</i>
who won the accolades for the movie and <i>Sheeba’s </i>fame was short-lived.<o:p></o:p></div>

Things seemed to change when <i>Rajkumar Santoshi</i>, in whose
earlier movie <i>Ghatak </i>(1996) she had a cameo appearance in a song, casted her as
the female lead in his 1998 movie <i>China Gate</i>, an ambitious remake of Seven
Samurai. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, things did not go as planned. Relations between
<i>Santoshi </i>and the actress soured, and rumors began circulating that she was dropped from the movie, and reinstated only after gangster <i>Chhota Rajan</i>
intervened on her behalf. When the movie was finally released, it was also a
huge flop. Furthermore, the only song in the movie, the item number <i>Chamma
Chamma</i>, was picturised on <i>Urmila Matondkar</i>, even though <i>Kulkarni </i>had built her
reputation with such numbers. To add insult to injury, the song turned out to
be a chartbuster, greatly increased <i>Urmila's </i>popularity and was even used in
<i>Baz Luhrmann</i>'s <i>Moulin Rouge!</i><o:p></o:p></div>

Angered at the turn of events, <i>Kulkarni </i>lashed out at
<i>Santoshi</i>, accused him of cutting her screen time because she had refused his
advances. <i>Santoshi </i>denied all rumours related to the movie, and the matter was
given a quiet burial. However, this proved to be the death blow to <i>Kulkarni's
</i>career. She only appeared in a handful of movies after that, and new offers
dried up.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>King Uncle</i>. Later when <i>AB </i>went to retirement, <i>Jackie </i>replaced him and <i>Kimi
Katkar</i> was replaced by <i>Anu Aggrawal</i>. Such was her craze during the 90s that she
was offered <i>Yash Chopra</i>’s <i>Parampara </i>which she refused [lol, she refused a

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HO52nGxo30s/VA6O4jr4VLI/AAAAAAAASC4/BH24zBhV_u8/s1600/asha_bhosle_mic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HO52nGxo30s/VA6O4jr4VLI/AAAAAAAASC4/BH24zBhV_u8/s1600/asha_bhosle_mic.jpg" height="516" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Well it would almost be impossible to sketch the legendary Asha Bhosle; one of the two living legends surviving from the golden era, the other one of course being Lata Didi; just because of the sheer volume of work she has done over an incredible period of more than 7 decades. What would be even tougher will be to do a top 10 list of Asha Bhosle songs, knowing that she holds the guiness book of world records for most songs sung in the whole fuckin world. Yes she entered the list in 2011 and was quoted - <i>The 78-year-old has reportedly recorded up to 11,000 solos, duets and chorus-backed songs in over 20 Indian languages since 1947.</i>" And I can go on and on about how her biggest strength was versatility and the ability and desire to challenge herself even during the golden age when even Lata di used to say no to some songs as they were tacky sometimes.<br />
<br />
The most amazing thing about Asha Tai is the fact that her voice simply did not change over the course of last 60 years. She still sounds the same. The melody, the pitch, the throw seems almost incredibly similar in 'abhi na jao chhod kar' and 'ho ja rangeela re'. Its a beautiful gift to have, something that even <i style="font-weight: bold;">sur-kokila </i>Lata ji didn't manage to maintain.<br />
<br />
Yesterday she turned 81 and still going strong. Here's a salute to the lady who achieved everything, sang the most beautiful songs despite always being outweighed by her own sister and claimed the charts with the Western revolution of the late 60s and 70s. We are taking a look at 1 song (not the best but lets put it as my favorite) per decade<br />
<br />
1) Chanda ki Bindiya<br />
Film: Mai (2013)<br />
Music Director: Manoj Tapadia<br />
The divinity of her voice can be simply understood from this song which was released when Asha ji had turned 80 and she still sounds the same melodious teenager who started her career by trying to imitate Shamshad Begum. This song from last year's lost film 'Mai' also featured her in a eponymous role. The movie did not stir anything in the industry but the song did get Asha ji all the praise from everyone who understood the feat she had achieved<br />

<br />
<br />
2) Radha kaise na jale<br />
Film: Lagaan (2001)<br />
Music Director: A. R, Rahman<br />
The credit for resurrecting Asha ji's voice and brining it to the masses in the 90s goes to AR Rahman to some extent. He worked extensively with her and created some magical songs. They teamed up again in 2001 film Lagaan in Radha kaise na jale. A melodious tune with a folkish lyrics set up by Javed Akhtar, the song epitomised what Asha ji stands for, melody. The film was succesful and went to Oscars as official entry from India.<br />

<br />
<br />
3) Ho ja Rangeela re<br />
Film: Rangeela (1995)<br />
Music Director: A R Rahman<br />
This was the first time when ARR teamed up with Asha tai and what came out was a musical masterpiece. The combination not only propelled RGV but was a pivotal moment in changing career graph of Urmila Matondkar. Tanha Tanha and ho ja rangeela re took Urmila to the heights of stardom and the voice behind was smiling as ever. Mohammad Rafi has always been called the master of playback and sounding exactly like the actors on screen, but it would be difficult to imagine him singing for Shah Rukh Khan in Baazigar. Asha ji somehow managed to do that in Rangeela. Truly a magical album with amazing songs<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/ZD_EDPWrOK4/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/ZD_EDPWrOK4&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/ZD_EDPWrOK4&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<br />
4) Dil Cheez kya hai<br />
Film: Umrao Jaan (1981)<br />
Music Director: Khayyam<br />
Probably one of the most iconic and recognizable Asha ji song. Umrao Jaan is a cult classic which brought the flavors of Awadh in its complete essence. It is a cinematic masterpiece but more because of the flawless and authentic work done by Khayyam sahab and Asha ji. each and every song of the film went on to become legendary and it was this film which brought Rekha to the forefront of bollywood. It is almost an impossible choice to decide which song to choose from 80s and it doesnt get any easier to choose between Dil Chej kya hai and In Aankhon ki masti ke. But I am taking this one just based upon one thing - the way Asha ji bends the voice while singing 'aap meri' in mukhda<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3oFm4MYbb9o?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
5) Piya tu ab to aaja<br />
Film: caravan (1971)<br />
Music Director: RDB<br />
Well this song has been talked about, covered, performed to million times throughout the history of bollywood. It is a popcultural symbol in the industry and a certain benchmark for a Cabaret song. But what's even more remarkable is that it kind of perfectly depicts the kind of relationship Pancham and Asha ji had. It was a peak of their collaboration in a way. Startng in Teesri Manzil with Aaja Aaja mai hoon pyaar tera till they last collaborated in Gurudev in 1993, Asha-Pancham was a soulful, made for each other type of combination which lit up the indusry in 70s. The song also put Asha ji at the spearhead of western pop singing and took Helen to new heights. What followed was Asha ji rolling one hit after the another with Pancham till death did them part<br />
Not to mention the quote " It is a highly suggestive song with Asha Bhosle breathing quickly at intervals, giving it an orgasmic sound" and RDB participating as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/DBCZWNfoR3k?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
6) Paan Khaye Saiyan Hamaro<br />
Film: Teesri Kasam (1966)<br />
Music Director<br />
1960s was the era when Indian music enjoyed its best phase ever. The pinnacle of the golden age was met with the best poets, the best musicians and the unmatched vocals. To do any kind of listing from 1960s is almost an impossible task. I can't name top 10 Rafi, Lata, Asha or even Manna songs from 60s. Same goes for the toughness of the job to do the same for OP Nayyar, Burman dada, Shankar Jaikishan, Naushad or madan Mohan. So it comes as an incredibly absurd and difficlut task of picking one song from 1960s sung by Asha ji. So due to lack of reasoning and capability, I am sticking to Paan Khaye Saiyaan Hamaro. Yeah not a OP Nayyar song but rather a Shankar Jaikishan song, with whom Asha ji is not even considered to be associated properly like with OP Nayyar with who she churned out classics. This song is a personal favorite in terms of the throw that Asha ji has in this song and the variations in the antara (read Humri dil ki na poochhe bedarda) or maybe Shailendra ji has written a remarkable lyrics once again or maybe just because Waheeda ji looks astonishing here. But frankly there is no substantial reason that can justify why not 'O mere Sona re Sona Re', 'Jhumka Gira Re', 'Raat Akeli hai' or 'Jaiye Aap kahan jayenge' but this one. So I have only one thing to say - listen to all of them and go on the ride<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/pyhnIDiWSU8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
7) Aaiye Meherbaan<br />
Film: Howrah Bridge (1958)<br />
Music Director: O.P. Nayyar<br />
So it had to be nayyar sahab finally, if not 60s then definitely 50s. Howrah Bridge was a brilliant album with all the songs being popular and noteworthy. But as much as Geeta Dutt nailed 'mera naam chin chin choo', Asha ji took 'Aaiye Meherbaan' to a different level. I wouldn't disagree that the seductiveness of madhubala was not a factor in the song. But the sensuosness of the song is as much Asha Ji as Madhubala. Famous Urdu poet Qamar jalalabadi penned the song and Asha ji collaborated with Nayyar succesfully again after Tumsa nahi dekha to bring out this classic. 50s also saw some other legendary Asha ji songs, but this one definitely stands out for me<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/LjZ0DCaPSP0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
8) Do chaar idhar do chaar udhar<br />
Film: Raat ki Raani (1949)<br />
Music Director: Hansraj Behl<br />
40s is not the era which we associate with Asha tai. it was the era when Suraiya stepped down and Shamshad Begum, Geeta Dutt and Lata ji took over. Asha ji was no where in the frame. And despite being in the singing industry since 1943 with Marathi films, it was not until 1949 when she finally got her first hindi solo, courtesy Hansraj Behl. The song sounds so similar to a Shamsad begum song because of the very fact that Asha ji always wanted to sing like her and tried to copy her a lot of times. This song was a success and put Asha ji in the mix along with the succesful names that time. And boy do we know what happened next, a career that can only be bettered by Lata ji.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/tcKCrXV1JNU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
The list is not meant to rate Asha ji songs. Its just a tribute from a fan who was always under the shadows of Lata songs and took a long time to realise that Asha ji deserved more respect and credit than she actually got. A troubled personal life coupled with the biggest collaboration in the Indian music history with Pancham and a voice unmatched in its entirety. Asha Bhosle has become indispensable from Indian music and cinema and will continue to inspire the generations of budding singers.<br />
<br />
Some other gems that could not find place in the list but are brilliant<br />
Kahin aag lage lag jawe (Taal)<br />
Mera kuchh Saman (Ijazat)<br />
In Aankhon ki masti ke (Umrao Jaan)<br />
Ye mera dil pyaar ka deewana (Don)<br />
Chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko (yaadon ki baarat)<br />
Dum maaro dum (hare Krishna Hare Ram)<br />
Raat Akeli hai (Jewel Thief)<br />
O mere Sona Re (Teesri Manzil)<br />
Jaaiye aap kahan jayenge (Mere sanam)<br />
Aage bhi jaane na tu (Waqt)<br />
Nigahein milane ko jee chahta hai (Dil hi to hai)<br />
Abhi na jao chhod kar (Hum Dono)<br />
Ye hai Reshmi zulfon ka andhera (Mere Sanam)<br />
Ishaaron Ishaaron me (kashmir ki kali)<br />
Maang ke saath tumhara (naya daur)<br />
sabarmati ke sant (Jagriti)<br />
<br />
Hope you liked the list. Let us know if we missed out on something big :)<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Recently we
celebrated the 68<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Indian independence and
commemorated all those who strived for it. It’s not only an occasion like this
which spurs a sense of patriotism in us, but many other things. Amongst which,
Bollywood movies have had their fair share.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> In
spite of all their weaknesses, (Hindi) movies to a certain extent make us not
forget the struggle that people had to put up for a free India. Freedom
fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Sardar Patel are known to a lot of
people through movies.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Apart
from Biographical Epics, there have been a number of movies around (partly)
fictional stories. These feature films too are pretty awesome. In this piece
we’ll take a look at some of the most memorable ones. These moving pictures mostly
portray a common Indian man rising and manning up to the British, even when the
odds are against him. Based on random anecdote or pure fiction, or even loosely
related to true incidents, following flicks remind us of forgotten heroes whom we might not have even heard of.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Amir Khan might
have done some (supposedly) good work, but this certainly tops them all. As an
epic drama film, Lagaan is as much a patriotic film as it is a sports one. It
teaches us two things, first of course that if needed any commoner can go toe
to toe with a British Saab, and secondly we can take down any overpowered
cricket team if we have THE fire in us. Bhuvan’s bravado shows the spark which
might have always been there. Included in Empire’s 100 greatest world cinema films
and Time magazine’s 25 best sports movies of all time, Lagaan surely deserves
all the credit it has got.</span><br />

Manoj-Bharat-Kumar. After rightfully earning the nickname, Manoj Kumar in 1981
co-wrote, directed, produced and acted in the epic film, Kranti (which

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It’s very rare
that Babu Satyajit Ray would direct a Hindi movie, it’s even rarer
that it would be adapted from a story by Munshi Premchand. Well it
happened just once and what transpired was some epic storytelling with lot of
food for thought, also known as Shatranj Ke Khiladi which was set around the
time of British annexation of erstwhile Awadh. This film shows us what a
sleazy big-time douche-bags the Monarchs (Nawabs, played very
well by Sanjeev Kumar and Saeed Jaffrey) at that time were. It also
depicts the helplessness of a king no longer in control who loses control to
the British, and mindset of noblemen who were more interested in petty
obsessions than real-life issues.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Obsession, Junoon belongs to a more serious cinema, than above mentioned films.
Once again revolving around the rebellion of 1857, this critically acclaimed
award winning film was produced by Shashi Kapoor and directed by Shyam Benegal.
The movie focuses on the multiple things, first the inner conflict of Indian
rich folk, torn between their subdued patriotism and good relations with the
British. It also underlies the Indian tradition of ‘Atithi Devo bhav’. But most
importantly it shows that even the most irresponsible people can come to senses
if time so beckons. Because of its powerhouse star-cast, this film is ever so
awesome.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Indian secretary to an English bureaucrat pre-independence would have thought
of himself, especially if he happens to be a Christian? Massey Sahib is a
brilliant take on that question, revolving around the life and lies of someone
(Raghubir Yadav) who thinks too highly of himself. This is not a movie
overflowing with the emotion of Indian nationalism, but it beautifully
showcases how seeds of corruption are sown in a clerk who’s just willing to
impress his superior and where that takes him. Raghubir Yadav’s portrayal of
Francis Massey won him the ‘Silver Peacock for Best Actor’, also an interesting
fact: this was the debut movie of Arundhati Roy.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Naam gum jayega, chehra ye badal jayega</i><i>Meri awaz (Mere saaz) hi pehchaan hain, gar yad rahe…</i></h4>
<div>
<div>
I am not talking about the forgotten heroes who are only a part of our subconscious. Rather, this is an attempt to remember those whose names have been almost erased from the pages of history. Like a diligent archaeologist, I am on a path to dig deep through the layers of time and refresh our memories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Who amongst us has not been enthralled by the soft crooning of Rafi and Asha in the song 'Abhi na jao chhodkar'? All the smokers still endorse 'Main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya' as their anthem while the heartbroken lovesick teens find solace in 'Kabhi khud pe kabhi halaat pe rona aya'. These songs are only a glimpse into the musical realms of the immensely talented composer JAIDEV VERMA.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KwL2yyuWai8/U-whW6Ow1RI/AAAAAAAASBA/xY29kuEyID0/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KwL2yyuWai8/U-whW6Ow1RI/AAAAAAAASBA/xY29kuEyID0/s1600/download.jpg" height="481" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
Trained under the tutelage of Sarod maestro Ali Akbar Khan, Jaidev composed songs for over 40 movies and won 3 national awards. Unfortunately, most of the movies failed at the box office which was a sufficient reason to forget the works of this genius. Jaidev's mastery is not just limited to these accredited creations. In fact, while assisting S D Burman, he is also known to ghost compose songs like kahin bekhayal hokar and aise to na dekho for the superhit Teen Deviyan (1965).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In an effort to celebrate this legend's birthday (August 3, which went completely unnoticed) let us take a walk down memory lane and immerse ourselves in the ocean of melody.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>1. Abhi na jao chhod kar</b></div>
<div>
What an album! I would like to include all six songs of this movie in this list but would refrain from doing so for the sake of variety. While Jaidev has had some success in the past, Hum Dono (1961) truly brought him into limelight. If I was forced to take only 10 songs to an island, this will certainly be the one. The first blossoms of spring find their true colors not by chance but through the playful smiles, twinkling eyes and dodging glances among the trees that spoke a thousand unspoken words with the language of the leaves. I believe this is where the magical tradition of the heroine coyly hiding behind the trees and dodging her lover's advances began. The minimalism of instruments and the epic rendering by Rafi and Asha, poetry by Sahir Ludhiyanvi, this song has the stuff that dreams are made of.</div>

<div>
<b>2. Tu chanda main chandni</b></div>
<div>
Remember one of the first talent show 'Meri Awaz Suno' which made Sunidhi Chauhan a household name? Sunidhi spellbounded us and the original singer Lata bai herself with a wonderful rendition to bag the finals.</div>
<div>
This song from Reshma aur Shera (1972), penned by Balkavi Bairagi is an absolute delight. No wonder why Jaidev is one of the favorite composers of Lata Bai along with Madan Mohan and Salil Chowdhury or why he earned a national award for this album. </div>

<div>
<b>3. Madhushala</b></div>
<div>
<i> Mere shav par wah roye ho jiske aansoo mein haala</i></div>
<div>
<i> Aah bhare wah jo ho surbhit madeera peekar matwaala</i></div>
<div>
<i>De mujhko wo kaandha jinke pad-mad dag-mag honte ho</i></div>
<div>
<i>Aur jaloon uss thaur jahan par kabhi rahee ho madhushaala</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not going to say much about this. Just listen to the most illuminated work of Harivansh Rai Bachchan. We may not fully comprehend the difficulties of composing a 'shudh hindi' poetry into a song but Jaidev and Manna Dey converted this piece of poetry into a timeless classic.</div>
</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>4. Ye dil aur unki nigahon ke saye</b></div>
<div>
The movie Prem Parbat (1973) is today remembered only for its immortal music. Penned by Jan Nisar Akhtar and sung by Lata, some people regard this song (based on Raag Pahadi) as his best composition.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>5. Tumhe ho na ho</b></div>
<div>
If for a minute you believed that Jaidev only composed classical music based song, he surprises you with the peppy poetry of Naqsh Lyallpuri (often mistaken to be written by Gulzar) rendered by the youthful innocence of Runa Laila. If you are based in Mumbai, I bet you will run to Chaupati grab some panipuri and nariyalpani after listening to this song. In the same movie, Gharonda (1977), you will also find a brilliant use of violin in perhaps the most depressing song 'Ek akela is shehar mein' which identifies with the pathos of the loner Jaidev who never married.</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>
<b>6. Caravan</b></div>
<div>
No. Not the formulaic movie of Jeetendra, the Indian James Bond or the groovy 'Piya tu ab to aaja'. 'Caravan guzra kiya' is a non-filmy ghazal by Fani Badayuni (who belongs to both Ghalib and Mir's tradition of poetry). And when you will listen to Asha blow life into this ghazal, you will stop reading this article until you have heard it at least 5 more times on repeat.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>7. Seene mein jalan</b></div>
<div>
Gaman (1978) brought another national award to Jaidev. The movie boasts of the combo of director Muzaffar Ali and the poet Shahryar who would later collaborate to create a magnum opus Umrao Jaan in 1981. Sung by the then newcomer Suresh Wadkar, 'Seene mein jalan' has almost become a byword amongst ghazal lovers. If there is any other song besides the iconic 'Aye dil hai mushkil' that truly captures the loneliness which engulfs you amidst the fast paced crowds of Bombay, this is it.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>8. Thumak thumak pag</b></div>
<div>
How many music directors of today can get a legendary vocalist like Pt Bhimsen Joshi sing to their tunes? The song is a traditional Krishna Bhajan from the movie Ankahee (1985) which brought Jaidev his third national award as well as a national award for the playback.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>9. Raat bhi hai kuchh bheegi bheegi</b></div>
<div>
Sunil Dutt produced Mujhe jeene do (1963) and changed his sweet persona into a menacing bandit. Watch Waheeda Rehman move like a nimble footed gazelle on the enchanting beats of Jaidev and the alliteration filled rhyming of Sahir. </div>
<div>
Noted journalist Mayank Chhaya considers this song amongst the top 20 hindi song compositions and he says: <i>"I talked to Dutt about ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ on another occasion. I knew him rather well. He said he vividly remembered the filming of this particular song which was not an easy one to shoot. He said he kept humming the song on the set because of Jaidev’s lilting composition."</i></div>

<div>
<b>10. Aayee ritu sawan ki</b></div>
<div>
Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Alaap (1977) not only has an extremely unconventional theme of classical music, it also shows Amitabh Bachchan in a completely different light. Kumari Faiyyaz (another forgotten gem) and Bhupinder Singh give voice to the poetry of Dr Rahi Masoom Raza. The album also contains a popular Yesudas song 'Koi gata main so jata' for which the critics appreciated Jaidev's innovative style of composing a mukhda with only 5 words.</div>

Bombay. Bambai. Mumbai. This city doesn't need any introduction. Some call it <b>मायानगरी</b> while some call it "<b>City of Dreams</b>". Some hate the fast pace of this city while some just don't want to leave this city. Such is the vibe of this city. You can never be in two thoughts about this city. You either LOVE IT or HATE IT. Born and brought up in Bombay (I still love calling it that), this city has been an integral part of my life. The city has taught me many things - to love/hate people, never get bogged down by bad things, never trust anyone other than the person in a mirror & basically it has taught me to embrace life the way it is.<br />
<br />
By now you may be thinking what nonsense I am talking of. This is supposed to be an article about films, music & other related things. Why the fuck am writing about Bombay? Aaah... got carried away. Well lets start now. Bollywood which churns out maximum number of films per year in the entire world is based in Bombay. Many directors over the years have tried to capture Bombay/Mumbai in their films & some have also used this city as a character (OUATIM, Shor In The City, Wake Up Sid!) in their films. Visually it has always been captured well by several cinematographers. I can't recollect old films but in recent past films like The Lunchbox, Ship of Theseus, Wake Up Sid!, Kaminey, Aamir, A Wednesday etc. Bombay has been showcased visually stunning.<br />
<br />
For me it was always about music & songs. Hence I always used to find out about all those songs that were based on Bombay or depicted Bombay, its lifestyle, hardships of people living here and its madness. But most probably only one song comes to our mind when we think of Bombay and that it is classic Mohd. Rafi number "<i>Yeh hai Bombay Meri Jaan</i>" featured on Jhonny Walker saab. Other than that there are several other songs which describes something or other about Bombay - some are known while some are severely underrated.<br />
<br />
So here in this article I will list out all those worthy tracks where lyricists have tried to pen their thoughts to describe Bombay & would also state that part of lyrics that I feel describes Bombay aptly. And yeah... it would always be tough to figure out which is the best song on Bombay, so I've decided to put all the songs in their order of appearance. Here goes the list -<br />
<br />
1. <b>Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan (C.I.D. - 1956)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Music</b> - O P Nayyar<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Majrooh Sultanpuri<br />
<b>Singers</b> - Mohd. Rafi & Geeta Bali<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<b><br /></b>
Probably the first ever Bollywood song on Bombay according to me. I researched a lot but couldn't find any other song about Bombay prior to this. Guru Dutt's protege Raj Khosla's directorial debut C.I.D. was a classic investigative thriller with a brilliant performance by Dev Anand. Interestingly this song was featured on Johnny Walker's character who plays a pickpocketer & important witness in the murder mystery instead of Dev saab. Song is such a classic that it served as an inspiration to several other songs & films in future. Nishikant Kamat used the same song in the closing credit of his critically acclaimed Mumbai Meri Jaan (2008) as a tribute to Bombay's undying spirit. Mohd. Rafi's rendition was brilliant while O P Nayyar kept his music simple yet engaging. But it was definitely Majrooh Sultanpuri's lyrics that makes this song a cult classic and unforgettable. Lyrics had bittersweet quality to it where Sultanpuri brilliantly reflected that era ('50s) with lines like<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>कहीं बिल्डिंग कहीं ट्रामे कहीं मोटर कहीं मील, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>मिलता है यहाँ सब कुछ पर मिलता नहीं एक दिल.</i></div>
<br />
Now buildings have been replaced by skyscrapers, trams with Metro & Monorail and mills with shopping malls & multiplexes yet somewhere this city is still soulless. Another great thing about this song is that instead of shooting it in a studio they shot it on a real locations (Marine Drive, VT Station) & you can actually see in that Carriage scene where public is running behind the Carriage trying to get into the frame of camera.<br />

2. <b>Do Deewane Sheher Mein & Ek Akela Iss Sheher Mein (Gharaonda - 1977)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Music - </b>Jaidev<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Gulzar<br />
<b>Singers</b> - Bhupinder Singh & Runa Laila<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F_fa50zuA3s/U8q0q98Om9I/AAAAAAAAAUM/pv6xdSFsKBk/s1600/51FVQWhVJiL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F_fa50zuA3s/U8q0q98Om9I/AAAAAAAAAUM/pv6xdSFsKBk/s1600/51FVQWhVJiL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The best part about this film is Gulzar's screenplay. It is very simple and explores various human emotions throughout the film. Gharaonda (Nest) is a story of Sudip (Amol Palekar) & Chaya (Zarina Wahab) who belong to middle class section of Bombay and work in the same office. Sudip shares his house with his friends while Chaya lives with her siblings. They soon plan to get married and hence save every penny to buy a new house for them. They go house hunting in Bombay which suits their budget. They finally invest in a flat of an under construction building. But when their dreams were about to come to reality, a tragedy strikes their lives. Director Bhimsain Khurana beautifully explores the situation of several people dreaming of owning their house in Bombay which still remains a dream for many.<br />
<br />
Such was the story & setting of Gharaonda that film had not one but two songs on Bombay. Gulzar who wrote screenplay also served as lyricist & trust me Gulzar never disappoints. Film's music was composed by very underrated composer Jaidev. The first song "<i>Do Deewane Sheher Mein</i>" is mostly shot in an under construction building where Sudip & Chaya have decided to buy a flat. Sung by Bhupinder Singh & Pakistani singer Runa Laila, song is basically a conversational number where characters are quite happy about their lives.<br />

<b>Best Part in Lyrics</b> -<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>दो दीवाने शेहर में, रात में या दोपहर में,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>आबुदाना ढूंढते हैं, आशियाना ढूंढते हैं,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>इन भुलभुलिया गलियों में, अपना भी एक घर होगा,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>अम्बर पे खुलेगी खिड़की या खिड़की पे खुला अम्बर होगा.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The emotions of both characters were so beautifully expressed through these lines specially the last one. And for your simplicity <i>आबुदाना</i> stands for food & water while <i>आशियाना</i> stands for a home. The second song "<i>Ek Akela Iss Sheher Main</i>" is kind of a sad version of previous song but its Gulzar who makes that sadness even more beautiful. Song comes at that point in a film when tragedy has stricken Sudip's life and Chhaya is now no more in his life (that doesn't mean she is dead, plot twist is brilliant. I don't wanna spoil it. Just watch the film) to support him. Even song is conceived superbly by showing crowded Bombay with streets full of ambassadors, trains, high buildings & Amol Palekar's character is just wandering alone in all these places. It subtly shows that even this crowded city sometimes we are still all alone.</div>

<i>इन उम्रो से लंबी सडको को, मंजिल पे पहुँचते देखा नहीं,</i><br />

3.<b> Seene Mein Jalan (Gaman - 1978)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Music - </b>Jaidev<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Shahryar<br />
<b>Singer</b> - Suresh Wadkar<br />
<b><br /></b>
Even Before Muzaffar Ali made hugely popular & National Award winning Umrao Jaan (1981), he made his directorial debut with this lesser known film called Gaman (Departure). Gaman is a story of a migrant Ghulam Hasan (Farooque Sheikh) who has migrated from his village in UP to improve his living in Bombay. How he faces hardships but finally settles down in the city is the basic story of Gaman. Film is very underrated (even I am yet to watch this one) and soundtrack again by Jaidev is even more underrated. In spite of winning National Award for best music, songs never became that popular. Jaidev's classical base to the song was fascinating & Suresh Wadkar just nailed this song with his flawless rendition. It was I guess Wadkar's debut in Bollywood. But 2 brilliant aspects of this song again is its lyrics & the way it is shot. Shahryar's lyrics were just brilliant & showcased protagonist's trying to understand the lifestyle & fast life of this city. This song shows busy city life of Bombay in '70s like no other film in that era did with amazing aerial shots showcasing Bombay's skyline. Watch out for that aerial shot post 2 minutes in the video. Its simply awesome.<br />

4. <b>Ee Hai Bambai Nagariya (Don - 1978)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Music</b> - Kalyanji Anandji<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Anjaan<br />
<b>Singer</b> - Kishore Kumar<br />
<br />
Another popular song that comes to our mind when we think about Bombay. Farhan Akhtar's version of Don may be stylish but it will never be as iconic as Chandra Barot's original. Vijay is a simpleton who earns some money by doing such street acts & feeds 2 foster kids. One thing that Farhan Akhtar smartly did in his remake was that he didn't make SRK do something like this & instead made him do that Ganpati Visarjan track. Because in today's time hardly anyone has time to stop in their busy life & take a look at such street acts. And now-a-days they are almost extinct at least in metros. Kalyanji Anandji's music had a folk feel with dholaks & shehnaai. Even though Anjaan tried to weave the theme of "Attraction for Bombay by outsiders" through his lyrics but real star of song was definitely Kishore Kumar's vocals. His singing had that slight UP twang which very well established Vijay's character and goofiness. Its a fun song on Bombay which is very well directed by Chandra Barot.<br />

I am not into much of '80s & '90s Bollywood music. Baring few soundtracks, most of the music in those decades was bland & unimaginative. There were some songs on Bombay during those times too but I chose not to write on those songs because I didn't find them that exciting. Some of them were -</div>

5. <b>Mumbhai (Bombay Boys - 1998)</b><br />
<br />
<b>Music, Lyrics & Vocals - </b>Javed Jaffrey<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sEi5Bht6oy4/U9o9cdoC1_I/AAAAAAAAAUo/XA-IY-SUPPs/s1600/Bombay_Boys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sEi5Bht6oy4/U9o9cdoC1_I/AAAAAAAAAUo/XA-IY-SUPPs/s1600/Bombay_Boys.jpg" height="320" width="222" /></a></div>
<br />
Even before Kaizad Gustad made crapshit films like Boom (2003) & Jackpot (2013), he made a nice English language indie dark comedy called Bombay Boys (1998). It was a story of 3 NRIs - Ricardo (Rahul Bose), Krishna (Naveen Andrews) & Xerxes (Alexander Gifford) who have come to Mumbai for a purpose. Ricardo is in search for his missing brother, Xerxes wants to make music & Krishna is here to act in Bollywood. How their lives affects each other forms the story of the film. But one character I totally loved was of Bollywood producer/Gangster Don Mastana played brilliantly by Naseeruddin Shah. It was like Delhi Belly of '90s set in Bombay. In spite of been critically acclaimed film never became that famous. Instead what became famous was this song by Javed Jaffrey. Song is a part of end credits & has gained tremendous cult following over the years with its tapori/bhai style lyrics. Javed Jaffrey's music may not have anything worth talking of but what really is commendable is his lyrics & brilliant rap sections. Another reason this song is perfect about Bombay is the way Jaffrey dons various bambaiya characters like bhai, muslim butcher, SoBo guy, eunuch, marvari businessman & parsi guy all effortlessly. Watch out for that brilliant last part & some typical tapori words like रापचंदुस, पंगा, त्रास, खोपचा & nudding.<br />

6. <b>Ye Kaisa Hai Sheher (Paanch - 2002)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Music - </b>Vishal Bhardwaj<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Abbas Tyrewala<br />
<b>Singer</b> - Dominique Cerejo<br />
<br />
Having penned Satya which is definitely one of the finest Underworld films of Bollywood set in Bombay, Anurag Kashyap knew Bombay right since early '90s when he first landed in this city. His still unreleased directorial debut Paanch was also set in Bombay and explored the life of 5 individuals who form a rock band & are very much involved into drugs, sex & smoke. This song about Mumbai comes at that point when band wants to earn some good money & a bit of fame. Set in a posh lounge where band performs this song. Music composer Vishal Bhardwaj took the entire song into wonderful Jazz/lounge space with brilliant use of trumpets, guitars & mouth organ. Dominique Cerejo who later sang popular songs like <i>Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein</i> (Rock On!!) & <i>Dhoom Again</i> (Dhoom 2) did a wonderful rendition to this song. But song definitely belongs to lyricist Abbas Tyrewala who in his pre-Aditi days (Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Na) did some amazing work. He wrote screenplay for Maqbool and served as lyricist/dialogue writer for films like Paanch, Munnabhai M.B.B.S. and Main Hoon Na. He superbly explores the loneliness, hustle bustle, selfish attitude & madness of the Bombay through his lyrics. Paanch even had a classical song called "<i>Ankhiyan Chipki</i>" sung by legendary Ustad Sultan Khan. Do watch out for that too.<br />

<b>Singer</b> - Udit Narayan</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Sujoy Ghosh's directorial debut Jhankaar Beats was an out and out tribute to musical maestro R D Burman. Composer duo Vishal Shekhar whose previous works like Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1999) & Supari (2003) were liked by few but it was their soundtrack for Jhankaar Beats that made them instantly famous. Their soundtrack complimented the film's premise brilliantly and even won them Filmfare R D Burman Award for New Music Talent. In a flawless soundtrack which boasted some extremely popular songs like <i>Tu Aashiqui Hai</i>, <i>Humein Tumse Pyar Kitna</i>, <i>Suno Na</i> & <i>Ruk Ruk Rukna Na;</i> there was this underrated yet awesome song called <i>Sahi Hai Re</i> dedicated to Mumbai. Penned by Vishal Dadlani himself, song was focused on transformations in the city from Bombay to Mumbai yet everything was same here. Only thing that changed was name. Vocal percussion & Udit Narayan's singing are reasons enough to listen to this underrated track.<br />

<br />
<b>Music - </b>Vishal Shekhar<br />
<b>Lyrics</b> - Vishal Dadlani<br />
<b>Singer</b> - Bappi Lahiri, Nana Patekar & John Abraham<br />
<br />
Another Vishal Shekhar entry in this list. In spite of being loosely based on Hollywood film Changing Lanes (2002), Taxi No. 9211 was an entertaining film thanks to terrific performance by Nana Patekar. One thing I really liked in this film was that it seamlessly fused different lifestyle of two unknown people very well. In fact, I love such films where various strata of society are thrown together for a cracking story. For eg. Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi (Old Delhi & New Delhi were nicely fused together), Raj & DK's Shor In The City and Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly. Here it was a wealthy young businessman & a poor Taxi driver disguised as an Insurance agent. The reason song became instant hit was due to inclusion of famous dialogues by lead actors, Bappi Lahiri's rendition & peppy tune. Song which forms the cool opening credits of the film is also well shot & edited. Though entire song is great but my favourite lyrics here are from 2 different paragraphs.<br />

Coming from Rajat Kapoor's "Low budget high concept" group of films, Saurabh Shukla's Raat Gayi Baat Gayi? sadly went unnoticed just because of bad releasing strategy. Film was released a week after Rajkumar Hirani's mega blockbuster 3 Idiots. Honestly, film was a one time watch experience with excellent mix of art-house actors. Film was basically set in rich society of Mumbai specifically SoBo (South Bombay) and revolved around the themes of infidelity and marital crisis. It had one heck of a catchy soundtrack by Indie composer Ankur Tewari with couple of jazz numbers & several acoustic ballads. If you have heard Ankur's first indie album <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ankur-tewari/sets/jannat" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Jannat</span></a>, then you will surely get a hang of what kind of music he follows. Acoustic ballads are his forte & soundtrack of RGBG had that in plenty composed by him & other members from his band <a href="http://nh7.in/ankurandtheghalatfamily/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Ankur & The Ghalat Family</span></a>. This track was one of the 2 jazz numbers from the soundtrack which was sung seductively by Anushka Manchanda. Ankur Tewari's lyrics described the modern, selfish & rich lifestyle of people in cities & taking potshots on upper class folks' mentality.

Chandan Arora is a criminally underrated director. His previous 2 films, Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon (2003) & Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh (2005) were moderately successful on box office but no one knew the director. His next, Striker was stuck for 4 years and finally got a theatrical release & simultaneous Youtube premiere in 2009. Though film was a disaster on Box Office but it was well appreciated by critics for authentic production design & performances (Ankur Vikal, Siddharth, Anupam Kher). It also had a terrific multi-composer soundtrack with composers like Vishal Bhardwaj, Amit Trivedi, Blaaze, Swanand Kirkire, Yuvan Shankar Raja & Shailendra Barve. This song "<i>Bombay Bombay</i>" was a promotional song composed by Amit Trivedi & sung by actor Siddharth himself. Thinking of best part in lyrics would be tough because every line written by Prashant Ingole is hard hitting & mindblowing. His choice of words perfectly describe the city Bombay/Mumbai - the City of Dreams & City that never Sleeps.</div>

Many may complain that lyrics of this song doesn't contain a single word that would describe Bombay but still this track is there on this list. Ayan Mukherjee's excellent coming-of-age debut Wake Up Sid! (2009) was a story of lazy, rich & aimless guy named Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) who realizes his dreams, aims & responsibilities after meeting a free spirited & independent women Aisha (Konkana Sen Sharma). This song was a part of background score (which was never officially released though Karan Johar did plan to do it post terrific success of "<i>Iktara</i>") which was done entirely by Amit Trivedi. Sung by Salim Merchant & penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, song comprised of a wonderful climax leading towards happy ending. These song finds its place in this list only because of 2 reasons - stunning cinematography & classy epilogue by Konkana Sen Sharma. Never before Bombay looked so beautifully in rains with a whiff of Arabian Sea, smell of rains, breezy wind near Marine Drive & realization of love. Totally Awesome!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even if you have never seen a film by Alfred Hitchcock, you will most probably still be aware of the man. He has become a popcultural icon in the film industry. You may recognise him because of his gaudy frame or maybe because you are aware of the shower scene from Psycho or the crop dusting scene from North by North West. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'The Master of Suspense' as we know him, was born on 13th Aug 1899. Concocting masterful mysteries and top-notch suspense is a feature we all recognize him with, but he became a cultural icon by his signature cameos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The man brought so much to cinema as a whole as well as to cinematography and forever changed the thriller genre. As much strange or wrong it may sound, but Hitchcock never won an Oscar award for best director and had a meagre 2 nominations. His style kept evolving over the long spanning career and his later classics were almost close to scandolous to the audience as well the industry which was still not over the melodramatic 40s and somewhat slow 50s.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The man brought so much from his personal life into the films. His failed relationships, his troubles with his parents, it all made him a paranoid but a genius person. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As a tribute to this great master, here are his 5 memorable works as we remember him on his Birthday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rebecca was Hitchcock's first American Project and proving Hitchcock's mettle, it won best picture award at Oscars. Based on eponymous novel, Rebecca is a gritty psychological drama. The best part of movie is Hitchcock showing up near the end, but that was just one of the many cameos to come.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A typical Hitchcock classic with a typical Hitchcock-ian panache, Rear Window is one of Hitchcock's Best. The movie is an adaptation of "It had to be murder". James Stewart was again a part of one high-class Suspense thriller that bagged four academy award nominations.</span><br />

The world woke up today with the unfortunate news that it is now a poorer place with the departure of Robin Williams, comedian extraordinaire. He had been a part of our lives through his films for over three decades. He made us laugh, made us cry, made us think, and in some ways changed the way of our life through some of his films.<br />
<br />
Filmy folklore states that a lot of Robin Williams' on-screen antics were ad-libbed. This is quite plausible since any comedian is more confident/brilliant with his own material than with reading lines given to him by someone else. Robin Williams was exceptional in his stand-up. He was the best of them, he was brutal, he was unforgiving, and he made you laugh through it all : Have a look at the video below<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am bringing this up because this performance is from a time when his films weren't doing well. The only bits of old Robin Williams was evident in the The Night of The Museum series, the third installment of which would be unfortunately part of his swan song.<br />
<br />
Robin Williams will be sorely missed, and today in his untimely demise we look back to celebrate his life with the best of his oeuvre.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Good Morning, Vietnam</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FkmErkp5sBE/U-mdLVRgEKI/AAAAAAAABaY/hY8WgL-xGUU/s1600/MPW-48735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FkmErkp5sBE/U-mdLVRgEKI/AAAAAAAABaY/hY8WgL-xGUU/s1600/MPW-48735.jpg" height="320" width="211" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
The words war and comedy do not gel together (except that they should considering the farce that war in general is), this is one of the few films of this particular genre about Vietnam war. And in my opinion this is the best.<br />
<br />
Robin Williams starred as Adrian Cronauer, a real life radio jockey who had been flown to Vietnam in 1965 to build up troop morale. Most of the Radio announcements that he made in this film were improvised, and the trademark 'Good Moooooooooooooooorning, Vietnam!' has been imitated by RJs worldwide.<br />
<br />
<b>2 Dead Poets Society</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
This is not a comic film. However this is a very inspiring film. It is about seizing the day, it is about breaking free and it is about ripping out a page from your text book because it does you no good.<br />
<br />
John Keating is the teacher you still wish you had when you were back at school. And even today if you watch this film you would still be shedding a tear at Neil's suicide but would also be feeling uplifted overall, you would be tempted to write that story which you had been thinking about for a long time but could never get along to writing, you would want to travel to that one destination which had eluded you to now, you would want to literally Carpe Diem, and all because of Robin Williams' performance.<br />
<br />
<b>3 Aladdin</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gSQY2Qw_xpw/U-m4jut4w0I/AAAAAAAABa4/4ihXxvDMz_Y/s1600/genies_lamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gSQY2Qw_xpw/U-m4jut4w0I/AAAAAAAABa4/4ihXxvDMz_Y/s1600/genies_lamp.jpg" height="188" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
The writers of the film wrote the character of Genie keeping Williams in mind. Robin Williams was already known for his impersonations, working as an animated character literally gave a freehand to his voice. It is said that he did more than 50 impersonations for this role, the genie anachronistically referencing Jack Nicholson and others, and the makers of the movie must have had a field day matching the genie to Robin Williams.<br />
<br />
Like most of his better roles, this too was based almost entirely on improv responses to the situations in the movie. Genie remains one of the best animated disney characters, and tonight I wish to watch Aladdin again only to have a re-look at all of Genie's scenes.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Mrs Doubtfire</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3v9E8MmxVug/U-m6NHVD4yI/AAAAAAAABbE/6-AVjAIsKLk/s1600/mrs+doubtfire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3v9E8MmxVug/U-m6NHVD4yI/AAAAAAAABbE/6-AVjAIsKLk/s1600/mrs+doubtfire.jpg" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
How did he do it? How did he transform himself for an entire movie into Mrs Doubtfire, how easily he convinced the audience (who wouldn't have been able to discern the man in the wig and make up if they hadn't been in the know). How did he take a formula already done by Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie and make it better?<br />
<br />
I remember watching this film for the first time when I was seven, and I remember laughing uncontrollably throughout. This was the movie which made me a fan of the actor (Aladdin released theatrically in India an year later) and even today given a chance I would chose this over many comedy films.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Insomnia</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YIi8vbvYqf0/U-m8RiYci2I/AAAAAAAABbQ/smWqheJUoUo/s1600/510ZzLAsxuL._SY300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YIi8vbvYqf0/U-m8RiYci2I/AAAAAAAABbQ/smWqheJUoUo/s1600/510ZzLAsxuL._SY300_.jpg" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This is one of the most unlike Robin Williams roles that he has done in his life. This movie unfortunately set tone for him acting in a lot of serious roles thereafter, but in this particular film he was brilliant.<br />
<br />
Directed by Chris Nolan and also starring Al Pacino and Hillary Swank, Insomnia gave Robin Williams a chance to showcase a side of him which his fans had never seen. And he did not disappoint. It is because he is such a good actor that he terrifies as the villain of the story. This was perhaps the last good film of his career where he had a starring role.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Good Will Hunting</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qwxXviKK6nY/U-m-J2FN9pI/AAAAAAAABbc/4utlYb0Dr1Q/s1600/Good_Will_Hunting_theatrical_poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qwxXviKK6nY/U-m-J2FN9pI/AAAAAAAABbc/4utlYb0Dr1Q/s1600/Good_Will_Hunting_theatrical_poster.jpg" height="320" width="218" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
For me, this is the best role of Robin Williams. Sean Maguire is the best guide and confidante that you can wish for. No words that I write here will do justice to the pure awesomeness of this film.<br />
<br />
<br />
An icon of our childhood/growing up phase has passed away, we know there will never be another like him. The best we can do now is to revisit his films and relive a few of our memories. I am personally going to start with Good Will Hunting.<br />

I would like to start with Naushad's quote on Rafi's death<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">कहता है कोई दिल गया, दिलबर चला गया</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">लेकिन जो बात सच है वो कोई कहता नही</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br />दुनिया से मौसीक़ी का पायांबर चला गया</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Had he been alive, he would have been 90 years old now. I could keep on writing endlessly about Rafi but that would kill the point. I am not going to quantify how many songs he sang, or how good were his vocals or how humble he was as a person. Every Rafi fan, everyone knows everything about the greatness of the man. I am just jolting down 5 songs that were remarkable in establishing Rafi at the helm of singing. At the pinnacle of music</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">This was Rafi sahab's first song. Music was composed by legendary Shyam Sundar ji and the movie was Gul Baloch - 1944. It was a punjabi song and Rafi sahab was sharing the mic with Zeenat Begum in this duet. Rafi was initially spotted by Feroze Nizami in Lahore who also got him a job with Radio Lahore for some time. Shyam Sundar was aware of Rafi's potential and gave him 7 songs in his next film - Bazaar. However Rafi was still lurking behind in the shadows of Talat and Saigal till now</span><br />

In came Anmol Ghadi and Jugnu. Anmol Ghadi was the moment that was going to shape the music industry for the coming decades. Although Naushad had recognised Rafi's talent much before and their coming together happened in 1944 with the film, Pehle Aap and the song `Hindustan ke hum ham hindustan hamara’. Naushad was the first music maestro responsible for showcasing and presenting Rafi’s awesome repertoire. Anmol Ghadi got Rafi the attention of the music fraternity while the song 'yahan badla wafa ka' from Jugnu made sure Rafi was not going to get lost in the new breed of singers that were coming up during the independence days. The music for the song was composed by Feroze Nazmi and the song garnered enough attention with Yusuf being the face of the song. The duet also had Noor Jahan singing with Rafi</span><br />

The magic of this song has become a popcultural symbol. There have been stories about this song even being national anthem of some Caribbean island country for some time. Whether the myths, the folks attached with the song are true or not still remains clouded in mystery, but whats crystal clear is that this song is pure bliss. Naushad and Rafi carried their magical combination for years before and after this song. The duo hit their highest point in 1952 with Baiju Bawra, but Suhani Raat would always be the song that made Rafi the face of Indian music. Barsaat in 1949 was the most succesful music album and took Mukesh to great fame but Rafi with one single song had the song of the year</span><br />

It almost becomes unthinkable to compare him with any other male playback singer in 50s. His combination with SD Burman, Naushad, Ravi, Madan Mohan, Shankar Jaikishan and C ramchandra delivered pure gold during the decade. Despite missing out on the inaugral award to Mukesh for Anari, Rafi got his hands on it next year with this classic number from the film of the same name. The Guru Dutt- SD relationship had ended after Kagaz ke Phool and in came the masterful Ravi who delivered a peach of an album with Rafi again bringing the golden touch in the songs. The album was critically acclaimed with Rafi claiming 5 solo songs</span><br />

Rafi surprisingly received only 1 national award during his life but thats more due to the fact that the awards started in 1967 and by that time Rafi had peaked multiple times already and was on a gradual decline with rise of Kishore Kumar and entry of RD Burman in the scene. However it was RD's music which finally got Rafi the award (believed by many including me, to be just a gesture to the brightest star in the galaxy with kind of a consolation. Not a great Rafi song by any stretch of imagination). From the movie Hum Kisi se Kam Nahi in 1977, this song in a way provided closure to Rafi's long, illustrious and succesful career. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>

Manna was trembling after that. Lata could not get a proper sleep for some nights and the whole of India was in shock</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>

Although Mohd. Rafi is considered by many to be one of the
greatest Indian playback singers of the Hindi film industry because of his
ability to sing songs of different moods and varieties in a career spanning
over 30 years, I am sure that if he would have seen the young Sonu Nigam
performing at stage at the tender age of 4, he would himself have given his
crown to him. </div>

Technically, Sonu Nigam is said to be Gulshan Kumar’s discovery,
who in the early 90s have started to re-create golden 70s and 60s song under
his banner T-Series where Sonu Nigam sung many covers of Rafi Saa’b . Perhaps
because of this, he was called as Rafi Clone during his early years and still
today, one can find traces of Rafi Saa’b in his voice. Further when T-Series
started to make devotional songs, then Sonu Nigam’s popularity rose and because
of his appearances in these songs, people started noticing his screen presence
also.<o:p></o:p></div>

Sonu Nigam’s real stint with popularity came with the TV
Show “Sa Re Ga Ma” which he hosted. The show was first of its kind and was the
second reality show of cable television after Close Up Antakshari. This was a
game changing event for Sonu as during this show, music director started taking
him seriously as a singer and he was being given a chance to be the playback
voice of actors. </div>

Over the years, Sonu Nigam has become a major force in the
hindi film industry. Just, when you think, he has delivered his peak, he makes
his comeback with a song more melodious, more soothing than the previous, the
latest example of which is “Abhi Mujh me Kahin” from Agneepath(2012). He has
not only been a exceptional playback singer, but has tried his hands at pop
albums, acting, music direction etc. Not only Hindi, he has recorded songs in
almost all regional languages. Besides a musician, he is a top notch performer and
has a niche stage presence. Those who have seen his stage performance would
have certainly witnessed his witty jokes.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>#6: Betab Dil Hai(Phir Milenge)</b> – This 2004 movie starred
<i>Shilpa Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan</i> and <i>Salman Khan </i>and was directed by <i>Revathi</i>.
The movie was allegedly said to be inspired by the Hollywood Movie <i>Philadelphia</i>. The movie dealt with a bold subject AIDS and in 2004, there were no takers
for such concepts. As the movie failed miserably at the box-office, the lesser
known songs got washed away from the public memory. Enjoy this song here and do

<b>#5: Sapne Ki Baat Main Bataun (Indipop Album)</b>: Whenever,
names of pop albums of Sonu Nigam is taken, there is always mention of <i>Kismat(feat.
Tu), Deewana, Jaan, Chanda Ki Doli</i> etc. but, very few people know that before
these albums, there was an album called <i>Sapne Ki Baat</i>. It surely was not as immensely
popular as <i>Sonu’s </i>other works but it surely boasted of some good music and which
was lost because of the popularity of his other works. Enjoy this song by the
then lesser known <i>Sonu Nigam</i> who had raw fresh energy. Somehow, I feel the raw

<b>#3: Phir Mujhe Dil(Toh Baat Pakki)</b> – This 2010 romantic
comedy marked the debut of Marathi Filmmaker Kedar Shinde. Although, the movie
was produced by Tips Music Films and boasted some known actors like Tabu and
Sharman Joshi, the movie was badly promoted and not many people knew about this
movie at the time of its release. As a result the movie sunk. Also, the movie was
actually scheduled to release in the September 2009 but because of the
multiplex strike the movie was delayed by five months and finally released in February
2010 which overall increased the cost of the movie and film makers have then
decided not to spend much on its publicity. The music of the movie was given by
Pritam and it was not promoted well as you can see this Sonu Nigam song is not
known to many people today. This solo song has some extraordinary Alaap and you
can feel his vintage voice. (Tips Music: I have a question for you. Are you so
obsessed with Aatif Aslam that you will not promote a song sung by other
singer.. WTH man..). Enjoy this soothing song and let us know your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></div>

the film almost never made you laugh.Though the film had an interesting story
line with more than praise worthy comic actors, the sad under usage of talent

<b>#1: Do Qadam Aur Sahi </b>– I have not mentioned the name of the
movie because I know that the moment I mention the name of the movie, people
will jump on the bandwagon and will point fingers at me and will say that "Hey
Admin! Are you mad? This movie is so popular. How come it is underrated?" I
agree friends, this movie is very popular and its songs have crafted a special
place in the heart of music lovers over the period of time but unfortunately,
this marvelous song is mostly unheard of. Reason being, this movie was directed
by M.F. Hussain in 2005 and was a semi-autobiographical. The music of the movie
received positive reviews but as the movie bombed at the Box-Office the
soundtrack too remained unnoticed. Tracks such as "Yeh Rishta" and
"Chinnamma Chillakkamma" became chartbusters when they were reused in
the 2008 Tamil movie Sakkarakatti. (Now you must have realized why I called the
song an underrated). Listen to this soulful number sung by Sonu Nigam and

They say him A Man of All Seasons. When he speaks, we all listen. He is a true master when it comes to acting. Naseeruddin Shah, unlike the rest of the Bolly Land, is honest, candid and qualified. Born in 1950, and educated in National School of Drama, Delhi, he has worked hard to cement his place as the iconic face of new Indian cinema (from 80s to till date). Indeed, he is arguably one of the finest actors of the world today. Though his use of hesitant speech and casual gesture to signify psychological complexity sets him apart from the mainstream actors, he has gained fair amount of success in mainstream movies too. Tridev, Mohra and The Dirty Picture are to be named a few of the commercial successful movies of him. Naseer Saa’b was first noticed by Shyam Benegal and the rest is history now.<br />
<br />
Today, Filmistani would like to list out 5 memorable performance of Nasser Shah, in no particular order. And yes we are not counting his iconic Mirza Ghalib series <i>(as I think, that is something which can not be put in a list with any film ever)</i><br />
<br />
1) Nishant: 'Poot ke paanv paalne me hi dikhayi de jate hain'. This could not have been truer in any sense of the world than Nasser Saa'b's debut movie Nishant. Directed by the pioneer of art-house and parallel cinema, Shyam Benegal and based on a story by legendary Vijay Tendulkar, Nishant is a deep and disturbing experience. Outlined by incredible performances by a stellar cast consisting of <i>Girish Karnad, Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Sadhu Meher, Amrish Puri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Anant Nag, Mohan Agashe and Satyadev Dubey</i>; Nishant went on to win National award that year. In a small yet powerful and challenging role, Nasser saa'b plays the character of Vishwam, youngest son of Amrish Puri and portrays the character of a shy, confused and submissive individual who is confronted by his own destitute for accepting his love. The movie will never be known as a Naseeruddin Shah movie because of the power driven by other actors in the film, but it nonetheless remains a classic<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_YcjMIVJ4CI/U8zRtDrI9-I/AAAAAAAAR_0/ds6NRLe544o/s1600/shah--310x465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_YcjMIVJ4CI/U8zRtDrI9-I/AAAAAAAAR_0/ds6NRLe544o/s1600/shah--310x465.jpg" height="640" width="425" /></a></div>
<br />
2) Masoom<br />
Masoom can be quoted sometimes to be the movie that established Nasser saa'b at the forefront of Indian Cinema. Before this as well he was an academic artist being studied in the realms of alternate cinema but Masoom made him a household name by establishing him in mainstream with the contemporaries. Masoom touches a very sensitive topic of extra-marital affair and lovechild (It is a retelling of Eric Segal's Man, Woman And Child though). Playing the central character of DK, Nasser Saa'b churned out a masterful performance. As a man driven by grief, regret as well as love for the child, he was at his best when he does the 'evocative proximus'. The movie caps an impeccable performance from Shabana ji as well and is tuned melodiously by RD Burman<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jdmdo_VfTaM/U8zUKE1ikDI/AAAAAAAASAA/5xil7jfMZWc/s1600/masoom1new.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jdmdo_VfTaM/U8zUKE1ikDI/AAAAAAAASAA/5xil7jfMZWc/s1600/masoom1new.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3) Sparsh<br />
Sparsh will always be the movie which I personally think, showcased the acumen of Naseeruddin Shah at its full potential. The kind of definitiveness and exactitude that he brought to the role is unbelievable. Playing the role of Anirudh, a blind man with an imperative amount of confidence and zeal which stopped him from getting pitied by the world but at the same time being hyper sensitive to the nuances of his condition and the world outside. He gives you the feeling of a sore loser as well as a man who should be considered an iron pillar at the same time. It is an absolute gem of a performance; powerful and emotive; and deservingly got him the National Award for the best actor in 1980. The movie again has amazing chemistry between him and his favorite co star Shabana Azmi.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YYkTLvVgMMo/U8zWrJw-wRI/AAAAAAAASAM/a9VSJXBzyy4/s1600/Help--not-pity.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YYkTLvVgMMo/U8zWrJw-wRI/AAAAAAAASAM/a9VSJXBzyy4/s1600/Help--not-pity.jpg" height="436" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4)Aakrosh<br />
<br />
1980 was indeed a remarkable and life changing year in terms of Naseeruddin Shah's career. Aakrosh featured him in a character poles apart from what he played in Sparsh, the same year, and also brought forward the versatility and power of Nasser saa'b. The movie was set in the backdrop of a world ruled by people in power with law and order at mercy of these powerful few. Sounds like a usual Bolly flick!! But what made this movies a monster film is the treatment by Govind Nihlani which converts it into a dark and depressing saga where every character is relatable, every story is believable and every scene is impeccable. It features Om Puri in a career defining role and one of his most acclaimed as well but the show stealer is indeed Naseer. Playing the character of Lawyer Bhaskar Kulkarni, Nasser Saa'b plays a low tuned and uncharacteristially restrained character. The movie also outlines a lot of socio economic undoings and the struggle of one man against a system which is beyond his control. It is also a must watch movie for another of Amrish Puri's limited but impactful character<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FI7xoRxvFmI/U8zdI_wwHQI/AAAAAAAASAc/vtzKNk8e0U4/s1600/AAKROSH.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FI7xoRxvFmI/U8zdI_wwHQI/AAAAAAAASAc/vtzKNk8e0U4/s1600/AAKROSH.JPG" height="640" width="476" /></a></div>
<br />
5) Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho<br />
Well its impossible to do a top 5 list for Nasser Saab but its even tougher to have written 4 and finalise the 5th one. Mohan Joshi Hazir ho completes the Saeed Akhtar Mirza trilogy for me with <i>Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai</i> and<i> Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro</i>, However it is the most underrated of all the three. It is one of the most subtly handled satires in Indian cinema. The movie again featured an ensembled cast of Naseeruddin Shah, Satish Shah, Dina Pathak, Amjad Khan, Bhisham Sahni and Rohini Hattangadi. Nasser effortlessly plays the character of a slimy lawyer who manipulates his clients for long periods, mocking the judicial system in India. Also the wig he is wearing is one for the collector's edition<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PPb2A_97kTU/U8zgRf2nbRI/AAAAAAAASAo/eIm53GLGrjo/s1600/mohan-joshi-hazir-ho-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PPb2A_97kTU/U8zgRf2nbRI/AAAAAAAASAo/eIm53GLGrjo/s1600/mohan-joshi-hazir-ho-02.jpg" height="400" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
A top 5 will never be sufficient to salute the genius of Naseeruddin Shah and some of his other monumental work includes Jane Bhi do Yaaron, Katha, Junoon, Albert Pinto ko Gussa Kyun Aata hai, A Wednesday, Mirch Masala and Ishqiya</div>

Just when I was about to decide what my next article should be, I came across an idea to write something about Indian Television scene. Well.... if our Bollywood is trying hard to not get drowned in sea of idiocy & predictability than my dear friend Indian Television has hit a rock bottom. I don't watch Indian Television much, but sometimes you have to abandon your headphones & computer chair to have dinner with your family and that's when I came across some really bullshit shows that are currently aired on Indian TV.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my mom & grandmother, I've seen (rather experienced) some real disasters on Indian Television in form of <b>Sasural Simar Ka</b> (Instead of Train hikes, Govt. should ban this show. <i>Janhit mein jaari</i>), <b>Pavitra Rishta</b> (Two 18 year leaps & still characters are in present day Mumbai...seriously WTF!!! ) & <b>Bade Ache Lagte Hain</b> (Let Mr. and Mrs. Ram Kapoor stay in peace, <i>ek musibat tali nahi ki dusre khadi kar dete ho. Kabhi toh shaanti se jeene do unko</i>) and that list will go on and on for eternity. Plot & logic in these shows are so wafer thin that it doesn't even take a single moment for my palm to reach my face. If ever you want to torture the people you hate, just make sure they see these shows with hands tied and eyes wide open.<br />

I still feel those good ol' Doordarshan days were much much better than these cables days. Being a quintessential '90s kid, I did miss out on some of the most iconic & amazing TV shows of '80s but thanks to reruns & all time helpful torrents, I did watch some classic shows like <b>Nukkad,</b> <b>Buniyaad, Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi</b> & <b>Mahabharata</b>. I even enjoyed some shows of '90s like <b>Tu Tu Main Main</b>, <b>Hum Paanch</b>, <b>Shaktimaan </b>(Haha!! I used to love it as a kid. <i>Andhera Kaayam Rahe Tamraj Kilvish</i>!!! ) & equally serious ones like <b>Sea Hawks</b> featuring great acting talents like Om Puri, R Madhavan (yes!! the same Madhavan who then did films), Milind Soman & Anoop Soni. But post '00 everything changed drastically. Cables penetrated our lives like anything. Those iconic antennas which were found on every terrace started disappearing gradually. Doordarshan started becoming uncool with mediocre shows. The never-ending Saas-Bahu sagas & "K" serials started achieving terrific mass appeal. Such was the craze of those illogical & dragging shows (Some shows ran for 8 consecutive years with characters just coming back to life again and again) that a majority of people protested (thanks to silly SMS crazy spree) when a central character was made to die in one such never-ending-saga. After the cable television revolution, every channel tried to topped the TRP race & subsequently started churning out heavy doses of migraine inducing regressive shows.</div>

<br />
That's probably the reason that now-a-days Indian youths got alienated from these idiotic sagas and got more interested in western sitcoms. Ask any youth today Which is their favorite Television series? The answers would pop-up from Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, True Detective (my personal favourite), Walking Dead to Sherlock for Action/Drama genre to How I Met Your Mother, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Family Guy or evergreen & every one's favourite The Simpsons in the comedy genre.<br />
<br />
So in the following article I will talk about those Indian TV shows/series<b> which aired in recent 5-6 years</b> that you definitely missed. I can't go watching every good show on every channel, so these are those shows that I've seen & liked a lot. If you have seen some other underrated Indian TV shows/series in recent years than do let us know in comments section.<br />

<b><br /></b>
Before any of you jump to any conclusions(No, please don't drag a gun to me, let me explain..!! ), I must say that I never intended to include a family drama in this list but this show was an exception. It was quite different from other shows that are aired on various channels. Muktibandhan finds its place here for 3 reasons -<br />
<br />
1. Unlike other shows which are being aired for decades with plot dragging hopelessly & introducing new villain/vamp once every couple of months, Muktibandhan was an exception. Makers faithfully adapted Harikishan Mehta's novel without tampering it & ended the show with finite sets of episodes (though the number is still very high compared to other shows listed below in this list).<br />
<br />
2. Show premiered on the prime time slot of 9 PM but failed to attract audience with its unconventional approach and hence resulted into low TRPs & was eventually moved to late-night slot of 11 PM making way for Bigg Boss which turned more eyeballs for the obvious content. As a result it was given a miss.<br />
<br />
3. Even though it had a bit of melodrama but it never went OTT with lightning flashing when something goes wrong, jarring background score, screen turning B&W. The USP of this show was terrific performances & apt casting.<br />
<br />
Muktibandhan is a story of an arrogant, no nonsense, money minded, business centered & wealthy Industrialist I M Virani (these Viranis are surely better than those. I hope you got that!) played brilliantly by actor/writer Shiv Kumar Subramanyam (most famously known as Alia Bhatt's father in 2 States). How I M Virani's life changes & opens up a long lost chapter from his past when a new Business tycoon Devki Shah (Esha Kansara) enters his life forms the entire story of the show. There were several other sub-plots too including Virani's elder son falling for a Muslim actress, his hatred towards his father's simple ways of living & of course the entry of a Sadhvi Parimeeta (played restrained fully by Deepti Naval) which changes I M Virani's life in many ways.<br />
<br />
Shiv Subramanyam as a lead was pitch perfect. Despite of being a South Indian he adopted the characteristics of Gujarati very well. Other notable performances were by Esha Kansara, Utkarsh Majumdar (as I M Virani's simple minded father), Siddharth Arora (as Virani's elder son) & smart special appearances by Hiten Tejwani, Ramesh Talwar & Rajeev Mehta.<br />
<br />

<br />
When Yash Raj Films (YRF) entered Television arena, it was speculated as a next big step for TV revolution. This would break the monotony of Saas-Bahu sagas and set a new trend. But sadly from their 7 so-called shows only 2 managed to impress me. And the sadder part is that public doesn't even remember either of two. First one which I've seen in bits (hence didn't include it in this list) is Atul Sabharwal's (he then made his debut with Aurangzeb) action/crime drama <b>Powder</b> revolving around the drug mafias starring exceptional acting talents like Manish Chaudhary & Pankaj Tripathi.<br />
<br />
The reason Khottey Sikkey clicked to me was because of its quirky story-line where 5 reckless rich dudes from SoBo (South Bombay) helps Senior Inspector Damodar Deshmukh (Vikas Kumar) in solving various crimes. Though it sounds filmy but Jijy Philip (directed first 6 episodes) very well establishes how & in what scenario Deshmukh met these 5 reckless rich dudes & how their bonding grows with each subsequent case.<br />
<br />
Casting again was the strong point of this show which was seen in form of some amazing performances specially Vikas Kumar as Deshmukh. Of all the 5 kids, everyone did their part well but it was Mark Parakh's performance as goofy nerd Ayush Khetrapal that generated maximum laughs on the show. <br />
<br />
My favourite cases from all were the one with Joker, Murders through poems, Terrorist attacks in college, Fake painting & the one with twin sadhus.<br />
<br />
You don't need to watch entire series to understand the back-story of protagonists. You can check out any episode you want cos every episode is a different case & plus it is slickly shot, cool and more logical than CID.<br />

<br />
With Shaitan, Bejoy Nambiar made one of the most stylish, coolest & edgiest film debuts in Bollywood as a director in recent times. Before Shaitan, such kind of technical wizardry was not witnessed on Indian screens. Crazy hand held First Person camera, eclectic music from Indie artists & uber cool slo-mo were some of the things that Nambiar incorporated in Shaitan. He continued all these excellent technical stuff in Rush too.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rush revolves around 12 characters whose lives takes an unexpected turn in course of 48 hours with a college festival as a backdrop. There were various stories like girl eager on losing her virginity but gets caught in a MMS Scandal, a disfigured girl overcoming her stage fright after an unfortunate accident, a chawl boy aiming to win city's most awesome B-boying competition, a drug peddler who finds himself on the other side of the gun, a gay trying to accept his sexual orientation and a college hottie getting molested by a fading superstar.<br />
<br />
But my personal favourite was episode 4 when 2 juniors (Neil & Venky) tries to defame the Head of the Security Chirag (Manit Joura) in 3 phases with hilarious analogies made to iconic Bollywood potboiler Sholay. Another episode where I laughed a lot was in episode 7 when a guy tries to sabotage a stage play he once was a part of. That surreal part when Suresh Menon & Akarsh Khurana pops up as an Al-Qaeda terrorists in same episode is just absurdly hilarious.<br />
<br />
On the whole this is a weird show. There are many people out there on Internet who have abused this show saying "<i>Bhai ye kya dikha rahe ho?</i>" and "<i>Paka diya</i>" & there are very few who even liked it. Needless to say, I am among those few who liked this show, well not on the whole but definitely certain episodes were just awesome. There were array of characters but the one that really stood out for me was the character of Head of the Security Chirag played flawlessly by Manit Joura. It was the only character which actually had a proper character graph. Every episode featuring him revealed something about his character. He had a disturbed childhood, a betrayal in a relationship, been defamed by juniors for mercilessly ragging them & finally been violently beaten by a local gang. If this wasn't enough, Bejoy even managed to show us how all these events shaped his future. Another great performance was by Adhir Bhatt who played a hot headed fading superstar Vikram about to judge a play in college festival. The epilogue by him in his episode just shows that how much talented Adhir Bhatt is. Glad he did get a meatier role in a desi version of 24 as Tejpal Singh. <br />

Just like he managed to get some weird cameos in his David, Bejoy Nambiar manages several cameos here also in form of Prateik Babbar (purely miscast), Milind Soman (he is still charming), Pankaj Tripathi (excellent), Jaaved Jaffrey & Suresh Menon (outrageously hilarious).<br />
<br />
Rush even had a hour long finale episode which basically showcased the changes that happened in the lives of all 12 protagonists after college festival ended.<br />
<br />
If you have flair for edgy characters, cool FPC (First Person Camera) & Indie music (The Bartender, Shaair+Func, Suraj Jagan, Bramfatura, Siddharth Basrur etc.) then Rush is a must watch.<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoNTVL2VJmc/U6556JTEF2I/AAAAAAAAASI/YZ3jmaU0Uoo/s1600/10n72mh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoNTVL2VJmc/U6556JTEF2I/AAAAAAAAASI/YZ3jmaU0Uoo/s1600/10n72mh.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Specials @ 10 was an unique experiment by Sony but sadly went unnoticed. This excellent series reminded me of Star Bestsellers days (1999 - 2000) where young & brooding writer/directors were given chance to make a 45 min episodic tele-series. Anurag Kashyap, Imitiaz Ali, Tigmanshu Dhulia & Saurabh Shukla were some directors who were part of these brilliant tele-series. We at Filmistani have already written about Anurag Kashyap's first directorial venture <b>Last Train to Mahakali</b> (which was one of the episodes of Star Bestsellers) previously <a href="http://philmistani.blogspot.in/2012/05/anurag-kashyaps-first-movie-last-train.html" style="color: red;" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.<br />
<br />
In Specials @ 10, we had Anurag Kashyap, Mahesh Manjrekar, Madhur Bhandarkar & Vikram Bhatt presenting the work of upcoming writer/directors. Though I didn't like shows created by Madhur Bhandarkar (Heroine - Zindagi ke Panno se; though his intentions were good) & Vikram Bhatt (Shaurat Nafrat aur Showbiz; very cliche and boring), I did like Mahesh Manjrekar's whodunit Har Kadam Par Shaque. But one show that hooked me was Lalit Marathe's underworld crime drama Rajuben presented by Anurag Kashyap.<br />
<br />
Rajuben traces the story of Rajashree (Shilpa Shukla) who is born to a Gandhian father (K K Raina) but decided to marry a goon, Rohit (Rajesh Shringarpure) against her father's approval. Other phase showcased how she overtook the reign of her husband's gang after her short lived marriage and became an undisputed Lady Don of Mumbai Underworld (strikingly similar to real life Lady don Santokhben Jadeja of Porbander) while last phase of her life chronicles with her new life as a politician where she manipulates the system according to her needs, her struggles with her grown-up kids & her secret rivalry with fellow politician Joshi (Harsh Chhaya).<br />
<br />
Screenplay was a sheer piece of brilliance. Lalit Marathe who previously directed a super flop Shabri was in a terrific form in this series. Story progresses excellently with all the 3 phases of her life intermingling with each other but it still isn't that confusing to a viewer because of Marathe's unique visual style. Her youth was captured in a sepia tinted frames while other 2 phases had raw & gritty camera work. Plus entire series was shot as a movie with sync sound. Hence sometimes there was an issue of dialogue not been audible enough.<br />
<br />
Shilpa Shukla after impressing audience with her terrific performance as Bindya Naik in Chak De India! (2007) yet again proved that she is not here to dance around trees & act in sappy romances. She essays all the three phases of her life flawlessly. Rajesh Shringarpure as Rohit was excellent while veteran K K Raina as Gandhian father who at last does something that entirely contradicts his values. Raj Arun as Tabrez, Rohit's best friend & Rajuben's right hand is natural in all possible ways. Well for an analogy, Piyush Mishra in Gangs of Wasseypur is what Tabrez is in Rajuben. But it is definitely Harsh Chhaya as a greedy & manipulative politician & Rajuben's colleague who steals the show with his distinctive accent.<br />
<br />
This was one of the most awesome-st show on Indian TV with gritty camera work, Amit Trivedi's rap-fused title track, flawless performances & brilliant screenplay. I am really sorry that I could not find any of the episodes of this series because it is not available anywhere on the internet for online viewing. Anurag Kashyap also announced that he would come up with DVDs of Rajuben when it was lauded by critics when it aired on TV but sadly things never materialized. May be Torrent can help us as Anurag once said in an interview - "I am thankful to piracy and torrents for saving my career & making me famous."<br />

Possibly the best Indian show I've ever seen. This is the only show in past 10 years that has somehow managed to be on the level of cult classic <b>Sarabhai vs Sarabhai</b>. The show will make you laugh till you fall off from your chair. And the reason for it to be so awesome is multi talented Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy.<br />
<br />
Apart from being the lead vocalist of India's most famous Metal band Scribe, Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy is also an actor (The Untitled Kartik Krishnan Project & various absurd ads), ad-filmmaker (absurdly whacky ads like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB6j36zgdkA" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">Havells Geyser Ad</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoPUY_3kQGw" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">Fevikwik Ad</span></b></a>), <span style="background-color: white;">director (Dewarists & Bring On The Night), scriptwriter, improv comedian, voice-over artist (all those show introduction on Comedy Central) & beatboxer (Coke Studio). How can a show go wrong when it is been written & directed by a man who has dabbled in all these fields.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">Bring On The Night is a story of 4 friends who manage to convert a 200 year old dilapidated Parsi Bungalow into the most happening night club of the city. Kabir Dalal aka KD (Arjun Mathur) is bubbling with crazy ideas and this is one of his ideas. In his dream of converting an old Parsi Bungalow into the most happening night club, he is been assisted by his trustworthy friends - England based artist but staying in Mumbai since past 8 years Patrick Graham (Patrick Graham), gujju "Jugaadu" software engineer Devang Oza (Hussain Dalal) & fixer Maakad (Sarang Sathye). He also gets support from 2 beautiful ladies Sheela (Dilkhush Reporter) & Piyali (Geetika Tyagi) who serves as a chef & bartender. But his real support are 3 bawas (Parsi) - Xerxes, Hoshang & Darius who actually executes some of his crazy ideas & its their property on which they execute their crazy plans.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">With just 10 episodes each of around 40 minutes, this series will keep you wanting for more. First 5 episodes are absolutely terrific with episode 5 turning out to be the most hilarious one. Technically it is an outstanding show with crisp editing, perfect color grading, awesome camera work & never-seen-before set designs. Check out some of these excellent set designs below.</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<br style="background-color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: white;">Considering such great talents were there behind the writing, we will come across some really hilarious yet absurd situations in the show specially created by the 3 Bawas played by Xerxes (Arshad Kelawala), Hoshang (Kashyap Kapoor) & Darius (Dinesh Irani). Really liked their nonsense on home made radio (Parsi songs and </span><i style="background-color: white;">"Rickshawala Nahi Jayega"</i><span style="background-color: white;"> were downright hilarious), Darius classic double meaning yet subtle speech on boobs which will leave Chatur's iconic 3 Idiots speech miles away (sorry no offence 3 Idiots fans but this was just amazingly scripted) and there wackiest analogies to Parsis. If you still don't believe me watch episode 3 where they will somehow prove that Archimedes & George Washington were indeed parsis with respective name Adi Anklesaria & Jee Jeebhoy Wadia.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">If you find all these absurd and think there isn't any story-line, then wait for that political twist (episode 6) and KD & Maakad's backstory (episode 4) to make you feel sane. Vishwesh manages the balance of storytelling and absurdness in a very well manner. If we are bored by eccentric & weird auditions held by D'mello D'mello (classic reference to Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron) or weird conversations where Devang proves how Shaktimaan is a bigger badass than He-Man and we are also thrown into some serious talks when Corporator Ravi Jhawle enters the series. Vishwesh also manages to capture romance on the show whether it be between Patrick and Sheela or between KD and Piyali.</span><br />

Performance wise everyone was great. I've already written about 3 unknown actors who played bawas. It's sad that they are not seen much after this show. All other actors mentioned before were fantastic in their parts but it was Arjun Mathur who stole the show as KD.<br />

On the core this show is about Bombay specifically South Bombay (SoBo) with elements like Parsis, Brun Maska, Irani Chai, gujjus, heavy social networking, taxis, clubbing, bassfest etc. Loved the way Vishwesh progresses the story through fb status, tweets, instagrams pics & many more. That is what you call brilliant editing & innovative screenplay. Also loved the rocking soundtrack of the series composed by various Indie bands/artists like Sky Rabbit, Siddharth Basrur, Ankur Tewari, Karsh Kale, Ganesh Talkies and many more. You can download its music for free <b><a href="http://eristoffindia.com/bring-on-the-night-music-clips-9.aspx" style="color: red;" target="_blank">here</a>.</b> And boy!!! Vishwesh also makes a cameo on the show as a radio listener.</div>

I can go on writing about this show but I feel you should check out this brilliant series for its extraordinary hilarious scenes. Its sad that MTV which now publicizes overrated nonsense like Roadies and Splitsvilla did minimal publicity for this show even though it had profanity much lesser than that of Roadies. Check out this severely underrated show which I am sure many of you have missed it <b><a href="http://mtv.in.com/botn/the-episodes.php" style="color: red;" target="_blank">here</a> </b>that too an uncensored version.<br />
<br />
So now when Breaking Bad & How I Met Your Mother are completed and other our favourite series like Sherlock, Game of Thrones & True Detective not returning for atleast one year; so you could utilize this free time in exploring these underrated Indian TV shows.<br />
<br />
If there are any other shows which were way too underrated like Bring On The Night or Rajuben then do tell us in comments below. We at Filmistani would be waiting for your recco :)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In most part of the world, cinema
is being produced on genre basis. Story of the films, the core theme and its
execution manner decides the genre of the film. In west they have classics
under each and every genre. Whether it’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Casablanca</i>
or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When Harry met Sally</i> in Romance
genre, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Die Hard</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Matrix</i> in action genre, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Godfather</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Goodfellas</i> in Crime genre, each and every film are known for its
genre and its execution based on that genre.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But there is an industry, (and
I'll say, one of the biggest) called Bollywood where films had been made
without any genre through out the timeline. From the starting only we make
films entirely based on heroics of the lead actor. Our films are known
according to the actors. It's never about the genre. Because whatever be the genre,
whatever you like to call it, every film gets the same execution. We are making
musicals right from the dawn of the cinema. Character mostly confess their
emotional outburst in form of songs or may be shaking their leg too as an
add-on. </div>

In first two decade of Hindi
Films, newly Independent India witness films on social subject. But with the
entry of actors and filmmakers like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dev
Anand </i>& <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Raj Kapoor</i>, cinema
starts shifting its focus from society to individuals. Though Raj Kapoor had
made several classics revolving around social theme like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Awara, Shree 420, Jagte Raho</i> but except Jagte Raho, his every films
started creating a larger than life image of common man. That’s why he termed
as The Showman of Indian Cinema.</div>

The only filmmaker, I considered has guts or
who dared to think something out of the blue is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Guru Dutt</i>. And I don’t have to tell that among 8 of the films
directed by him, two is now included among the greatest films of all time, both
by Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies, a feat only achieved
by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mani Ratnam</i> for his film <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nayagan</i>. Guru Dutt has that extra edge
as a real film maker. He knows the technical aspect of cinema. He could play
with camera and lights (remember <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kagaaz
Ke Phool</i> song, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Waqt ne kiya, kya
haseen sitam</i>) I don’t know about any other shot in India except Guru Dutt
Shot. But you will get lots of such things in west. And the difference is
execution.</div>

With the entry of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Naseer Hussain</i> (uncle of Aamir Khan)
cinema started revolving just around women. Not in women centric way, but as
far as HERO of the film is considered the most precious thing for him in the
entire universe is to get married with that very girl called HEROINE of the
film. To make films look different, different type of obstacle are created (not
different type of stories), sometime they are called VILLIAN. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From sixties onward Heroes started fighting
for the girl until <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yash Chopra</i> came
in out of his socially moving dramas like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Deewar,
Trishul</i> to start lighting the sari’s of heroine in the backdrop of
Switzerland’s natural backdrop. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Amitabh
Bachchan</i> in the entire 70’s kick the baddies for different yet same reason.
He gave some classics but not worthy enough to be called as The product of
Cinema. In the mid 70’s only a parallel cinema comes into this world as an
orphan. So they tried hard and hard to show the hardship of common man. But
they also can’t shift there mind and making from already existing film making.
The basic difference is that mainstream cinema has some joyful dancing number
whereas parallel cinema only shows the tragic scene with tragic score in the
background. They are somewhat in the genre of Drama but that somewhat is
negligible only.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, arrives the mediocre
80’s which just shows revenge, revenge for the rape of sister, wife, or any
other close relative of HERO (99% it’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mithun
Da</i>, highest Tax Payer at that time). Sometime it’s for the mass massacre of
the family too but that also include some mis-happening with some female
character. Overall it’s the rape of Cinema with lots of absurd song and
dialogue.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Post 2000, we are trying to get
aware of what cinema is? But then again we are just copying the stuff from west
(may be because they have something to say). Some time it gets click (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hum Tum, Ghajini, Chak De India</i>), but
most of the time it’s utter disappointment. So we started lifting our very own
regional films and some old so called classics. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ug9aGP2UVJw/U6J-zXHpUTI/AAAAAAAAAlY/p_x5-arDroY/s1600/Chak_De%2521_India.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ug9aGP2UVJw/U6J-zXHpUTI/AAAAAAAAAlY/p_x5-arDroY/s1600/Chak_De%2521_India.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And when they get to know the
fact that we are making genre less cinema, they make a new genre which suits almost
every films in Bollywood i.e. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Masala
Films </i>or<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Masala Enteretainer</i>,
where you gets stint of every genre whether it’s comedy, romance, action,
thriller, even horror. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But I’m hopeful that someday we
will see some films having content focusing on particular element or theme (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Wednesday, Lunch Box</i>) May be then we
can say, “Fuck, Yeah, we also consider cinema as ART”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
P.S: It’s not that I don’t like
Hindi Films or West doesn’t make crap. It’s all about ratio.</div>

Kashyap once said in one of his interviews that the quality of a movie depends
not only on your protagonist and antagonist, but also on the support
characters. The better a script writer develops the supporting characters; the
better is the screenplay and much better is the overall result. For example, imagine
a Gangs of Wasseypur with supporting cast half-baked, would it still manage to
tickle your spine or for that matter a Lagaan or a Sholay. These movies have
reached the scaling heights not only because of the duel between the
protagonist and the antagonist but also because of their well-developed support
cast. If one looks at the west, actors are more interested in donning a strong
character role rather than the main protagonist, unlike our lead actors who are
still interested in screen presence. Although some of our lead actors (Aamir
Khan in Taare Zameen Pe) have now chosen to break the stereotypes, we have a
long way to go in this aspect of storytelling. </span></span></span></div>

casts are generally of two types: one with a background story, another with no

some of these supporting characters (who have already been a fundamental
character in the movies) and would like to unravel the scenarios whether these
characters can be made into a protagonist of a standalone movie. Before we
proceed, we are giving an honorable mention to all Salim-Javed villains. We

Circuit from Munnabhai series:</span></b></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> When Raju Hirani started Munna Bhai MBBS, the original choice for this
role was Markand Deshpande. He could not do the movie as he was busy in other
work and Raju Hirani had a tough time finalizing the cast. In the end moment,
someone suggested Arshad Warsi and the rest is history. Earlier, the name of
circuit in the movie was Khujli, but the makers changed it. Circuit has
provided depth to both the movies in the series, and as a character it is loved
by almost all cine-goers. As the fate of the next Munnabhai movie is undecided,
we think that a sidequel of Munnabhai series will take the story forward as it
will project the story from circuit’s point of view, as a protagonist, and it
will be a great watch.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">#5:
Kallu Mama from Satya:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> According to Ram Gopal Verma, Kallu Mama’s character was based on an
ex-gangster he met in a bar and whose behavior made him feel uneasy, but that
feeling was absent the next time he met this person; the guy was very friendly.
It was then that RGV realized that the man had created a false persona the
first time around and "[had been] trying to play up to an image which he
thought RGV had of him because he knew that RGV knew who he was." Kallu Mama
behaves in a similar manner in the film. He puts on a gangster act when a
builder comes to see him temporarily hiding the fact that "he is a clown
in the gang." A layered character and a psychological drama on this
underworld character ably crafted with dark humor would make it a great watch
on celluloid.</span></span></div>

Kaancha Cheena from Karan Johar’s version of Agneepath:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the 1990’s Agneepath had this suit clad
antagonist Kaancha Cheena, who controls his business in a village island near
Mumbai and lives in an uber sophisticated place, it was Karan Johar’s Agneepath
in 2012 that added depth to this immensely popular character. In the
introductory scene from the movie, there have been flashes from his childhood,
where he was supposed to be an ugly looking kid and his classmates were either
scared of him or made fun of him. A movie with Kaanchaa Cheena as the
protagonist will unravel the devil inside him and the probable reasons on why
he became <b>The Kaancha Cheena</b>, an absolute cold blooded devil who would
not think twice before brutally killing anyone. A subject like Childhood
bullying has never been told on celluloid, and it will be refreshing for the
viewers.</span></div>

Crime Master Gogo from Andaaz Apna Apna:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We all have laughed to his antics and the
one-liners, so it is futile to explain his immense popularity among hindi movie
fans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although, his total screen
presence in the movie is a little less than 15 minutes, still the character has
achieved a cult status in all our hearts. Perhaps he is the only villain in the
Hindi Movies, who has made us laugh so much over and over again. A movie with
him as a protagonist, would surely answer the million dollar question; “why he
plays goti by removing people’s eyeballs…!” and at the same time would be a
nice experience to re-visit the popular character.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">#2: Bob
Biswaas from Kahaan</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">i:
“There's no psychopathic laughter. No twitching. No punch dialogue. He is the
friendly neighbourhood hired assassin. He is Bob Biswas,” says his Facebook
page. The character who has at once terrified the nation and captivated it with
the cold-blooded, yet callous manner in which he carries out his assignments.
Biswas has a trademark line: “Nomoshkar…ek minute,” before whipping out his gun
and finishing off his victim. The punchline set the social media afire. What was
striking about the man was the duality of his nature – an ordinary face in the
crowd by day and a menacing, ruthless hitman when darkness falls. In fact,
during the day Biswas is often hassled by his boss and keeps telling him that
he is getting calls from clients on his cellphone when in reality it is the
sinister assignments that keep his phone busy. A movie if made on him would
unravel the psyche behind the contract killer and at the same time would engage
the audiences.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">#1:
Chunni Babu from Devdas Series:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The epic Bengali Romance Novel was penned by Sarat Chandra
Chattopadhyaya in the year 1917, and till now, there had been almost 16
different adaptations in different languages and cinema including Pakistan and
Bangladesh. However, not even a single time someone tried to make the movie
from the point of view of Chunni Babu, a close confidante of Devdas Mukherjee.
I have seen two adaptations of the novel, Bimal Roy’s 1955 Yusuf saab’s
portrayal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s larger-than-life Shahrukh Khan’s
portrayal. I have not seen the other regional version of Devdas, but during my
research on this character while writing this blog, I came to know that none of
the versions, except one, had presented the character of Chunni Babu in a
better light. It was only the 2002’s Devdas, where Jackie Shroff has
beautifully portrayed the character by narrating the dialogues in an unusual shaayari
which not only captivates the audience but also introduces a different persona
of him. As Mr. Anurag Kashyap showed us in his adaptation of Devdas in Dev-D
that if you carefully choose a narrative then the same story can be told in a
totally unique way and it will be loved by the audience. Hope someone from the
film fraternity takes a cue from this, and may be in the 17<sup>th</sup>
adaptation, we might get to see Devdas’s story as told by Chunni Babu. </span></div>

Bollywood is an industry which relies geavily upon the success of its music to ultimately derive the success of the films. From time immemorial, music has pretty much been the soul of Bollywood and has gems that make it impossible to even imagine a world of films without songs. Hollywood may have something to say about that, but that's the beauty of Indian cinema. So having said that, it might be close to impossible to do any top 10 list related to music, or in case of best song even a top 100 might seem like unachievable one. However what we can do is probably try and look back at some of the songs which stood out for sheer absurdity of their lyrics, picturization and music.<br />
<br />
I will not try to typecast the double meaning songs from Dalaal (Kabootar atariya pe chadhta hi hai) or Choli ke Peeche kya hai (Common teenager knowledge). Not that these songs were not weird but because these cult classics had one or the other way to create a mass appeal (and more because I like these songs, so <i>yahan mai wahi daloonga jo mujhe trash lagta hai, aapko usse kya</i>)<br />
<br />
And more or less I am totally going to ignore the contemporary bollywood in which the overall music is absurd. So picking ut some songs like Mohabbat hai Mirchi or Chiggie Wiggie will be hurting the sentiments of the complete industry (no privilege to too much trashy compared to very trashy)<br />

zara zara touch me na, pliss nice sowng</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And no popular Govinda songs. Period. They are all good. Whether it is mai tujhko bhaga laya hoon tere ghar se, tere baap ke darr se or Sarkai lo Khatiya jada lage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A list of those songs was already covered by <a href="http://philmistani.blogspot.sg/2012/04/5-songs-one-should-never-take-literally.html">Filmistani before</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
So here's my personal top 10 for the songs (love them or hate them) who I believe are weird/absurd or maybe even trash<br />
<br />
<b>1. Garam Garam Chai</b><br />
There was a movie in 1995 called dance Party (nevermind if you havent heard of it, probably no one ever heard of it. Not even the cast and crew of the fil included) which featured a gem from the God of Gems - baba Sehgal<br />
<br />
This is how the song goes<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>up ke bihar ke mere friend khas friends</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>chhuk chhuk gaadi mein baithe</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>raat ke baje the sade gyarah mujhe uhu hu hu sardi lagi</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>maine bola yaar kunal mujhe de de ek shol</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>bola aane de pareli station lenge ek samaj gaya</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>no no no no no</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>chahiye na koi mujhe aisi waisi dish kash mil jaati mujhe</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>garam garam chai garam garam chai</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The video isn't bad either. Just look at Shakti kapoor #jussayin</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Din me leti hai, Raat me leti hai</b><br />
So this one did not feature in the previous cover on double meaning one but it deserves a special mention just for the sheer audacity of the crew which created this song. From the movie Amanat (1994), the song has Kumar Sanu, Ila Arun and Alka Yagnik together creating this magical experience. And who better than Bappi da to create the tunes (with his previous accolades of Dalal and Disco era). The song goes like this<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>din me leti hai raat me leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>subah ko leti hai sham ko leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>bas me leti hai bas bas, lokal me leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>thiatar me leti hai hotel me leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>chhat pe leti hai, kamre me leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>bistar me leti hai, khule aam</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>let ke leti hai, baith ke leti hai</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<br />
<b>3. Ek rasgulla kahin fat gaya re</b><br />
Izzatdar (1990) is a remarkable film for so many reasons. Particularly the last scene featuring Dileep sahab and Govinda where Yusuf fights the gangster using a chapati. Yes, you heard it right, a fuckin Chapati. Never underestimate the power of 'Shakti Bhog' . For full pleasure, directly fo to 3:40 on the video<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is bandook me kitni roti hai re? I mean Goli</div>
<br />
But that was still not the highest point in the film. It reaches the pinnacle with the song<br />

<b>4. Maalan tere baag me narangi latke</b><br />
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that mere presence of Shakti Kapoor in a video sometimes can disgust viewers enough to have a fit. So 'nandu sabka bandu' is not always a pretty sight. But when the backdrop of the movie is a Prabhuji one man show, then the significance of a trashy song always reaches new heights. Inspired from a Rajasthani folk song of the same name, this was a classic in its time and somehow not available on youtube anymore in its original format. But the intent of the song was appalingly apparent.<br />

5. You are my chicken fry<br />
Bappi da was always known for pulling the rabbit out of the hat but never before had he done the magic like the Chicken Fry. I mean how often would you think of comparing your loved one to a chicken dish. No objectification there, pure poetry. Culinary Poetry at its best. The lyrics of the song go like this<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my chicken fry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my fish fry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

This song also got lost in the sands of time and no original video is available for the song, but the lyrics and the music would never go away and will remain forever etched in our memories. The lyrics were </div>

6. Doodh ban jaoongi, malai ban jaoongi<br />
Bollywood's fascination with kitchen is always apparent. Songs satisfying the apetite in literal sense. This cult song from 1995 film Sarhad, objectifies women differently. Doodh, sharab, kebab, machhi. Full 5 course meal. Sung by no less than Asha Bhosle, this one will remain etched in trashy song lovers mind forever<br />

The video of the song is appropriate as well. Have a look</div>
<br />
7. Ladki kaise fansayi jati hai (Kishor Kumar)<br />
The list will end with another legend snging one of the classic songs for Ramsay brothers. Kishor da took the song to another level with his efferevescent style. Samri (1985) is considered one of Ramsay brothers finest and not for nothing. Bappi Da with his heart throbbing music, add to that the brilliant Kishore da and what comes out is this<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JUniUduxFps/U3m4R8sFSoI/AAAAAAAAR9k/cisT7izz6Wc/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JUniUduxFps/U3m4R8sFSoI/AAAAAAAAR9k/cisT7izz6Wc/s1600/unnamed.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Despite having celebrated 100 years of Indian Cinema, we are yet to grow up as an industry to be<br />
looked up to. For the record, we make the highest number of movies in the entire world, but if we scrutinize the quality of our movies with those of our contemporaries, we fail.<br />
<br />
The reason for this is the lack of effort put in on the script or say screenplay for that matter. All mainstream Hindi movies can broadly be classified into<br />
<br />
a) Love Story, where there will be inequality (caste, creed, religion) between hero and the heroine and the whole theatrics.<br />
b) Revenge Story, where the parents of the hero will be killed by the villain and the hero will search for him for 3 epic hours and despite meeting villain every 15-20 minutes, it will only to be disclosed in the climax that he was the penultimate guy.<br />
c) Honest-Person-Corrupt-Society, where the actor is the most honest person of the world and everyone else is corrupt (No, we are not talking about Arvind Kejriwal[Politics is the current mood of the nation, couldn’t help bring it here :P]) and the actor will fight till the end to change the system.<br />
<br />
If one looks at the west, some of the awe-inspiring movies are either based on novels or some real person. Hindi Cinema has also tried to look beyond the traditional story subjects and movies like Vicky Donor, Paan Singh Tomar, Kahaani, Gangs of Wasseypur are to name a few. Biopics like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag brought real life story into contention but no takers for recently released Manjunath brought out the fact that things have been better since the past decade but we have still a long way to go.<br />
<br />
Today, we at Filmistani, try to give our filmmakers some individuals on whom if a movie is made, will be out of the box and also inspire the cine-goers.<br />
<br />
<b>#5: Kalpana Chawla:</b> Wouldn’t the story of a girl child from Haryana who managed to break into the ranks in NASA, and the tragic disaster that followed, would make it great on the celluloid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5PDXgL692d8/U3m4gT-_O5I/AAAAAAAAR-A/7_5DuT4JVBg/s1600/unnamed+(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5PDXgL692d8/U3m4gT-_O5I/AAAAAAAAR-A/7_5DuT4JVBg/s1600/unnamed+(5).jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I feel goose bumps by her famous quote “When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system." I am sure that it can inspire whole lot of generation to be another Kalpana Chawla and also it can be India’s answer to Gravity.<br />
<br />
<b>#4: Kishore Kumar:</b> While there is no doubt on how famous the singer is, there are many facets of him, which are still unknown to us.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nP7eFjVl6Eg/U3m4gDKMlOI/AAAAAAAAR-I/0Ff8QW3b0Dc/s1600/unnamed+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nP7eFjVl6Eg/U3m4gDKMlOI/AAAAAAAAR-I/0Ff8QW3b0Dc/s1600/unnamed+%25284%2529.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
For example, He apparently made Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, hoping it would fail commercially. He wanted to show losses in his income, and thus avoid paying a huge income tax to the authorities. So he made it, and waited eagerly for it to collapse. However, it surprisingly went on to become box-office success. He was so disgusted with this that he gave all its rights to his secretary. He is said to have been paranoid about not being paid. I am sure that if a biopic is made on his life, it will be both entertaining and inspiring.<br />
<br />
<b>#3: Neerja Bhanot</b>: For starters, who don’t know her, let me give some brief. She was a flight attendant for Pan Am, based in Mumbai, India, and was murdered while saving passengers from terrorists on board the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 in 1986.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDFOOdqo1D4/U3m4fVJMXMI/AAAAAAAAR94/7Eu6OQNKcms/s1600/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDFOOdqo1D4/U3m4fVJMXMI/AAAAAAAAR94/7Eu6OQNKcms/s1600/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" height="400" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
Posthumously, she became the youngest recipient of India's highest civilian award for bravery, the Ashok Chakra. Although this incident has been depicted in HindI Movies like “Ye Dil Aashiqana” and “Zameen” but none of them has touched upon her story (as her marriage turned sour following dowry pressure) which deserves to be told on Big Screen. I am sure it can inspire many people.<br />
<br />
<b>#2: Yuvraj Singh:</b> Oh Boy, his life is a big story. His parents divorced and his mother raised him. When he won the National U-14 Roller Skating Championship, his father threw away the medal and told him to forget skating and concentrate on cricket.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uXkwwtr2zWw/U3m4fWxLZJI/AAAAAAAAR-M/1rcyzmS94hY/s1600/unnamed+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uXkwwtr2zWw/U3m4fWxLZJI/AAAAAAAAR-M/1rcyzmS94hY/s1600/unnamed+%25283%2529.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Having an illustrious career with 2 world cup victories to his credit, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left lung, he went for a treatment and he fought back bravely. His story will surely inspire millions.<br />
<br />
<b>#1: Sanjay Gandhi:</b> He was the elder son of Indira Gandhi and before his demise in 1980; he made his mark in Indian Politics. Maruti Udyog, today India's premier automobile manufacturing corporation, was founded by Sanjay Gandhi, but the company did not produce any vehicles during his lifetime.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PQQSZ3d7XV8/U3m4fWQZ90I/AAAAAAAAR-E/PjZUgLEf8yw/s1600/unnamed+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PQQSZ3d7XV8/U3m4fWQZ90I/AAAAAAAAR-E/PjZUgLEf8yw/s1600/unnamed+%25282%2529.jpg" height="400" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
More so, he was criticized because of the test model. It was said that during the Emergency he virtually ran India along with his friends. It was also quipped that Sanjay Gandhi had total control over his mother and that the government was run by the PMH (Prime Minister House) rather than the PMO (Prime Minister Office). Such was his aura that some theory suggests that his mother apparently got him killed in a plane crash. He initiated a widespread compulsory sterilization program to limit population growth. He escaped an assassination attempt in 1977. Making a movie on Sanjay Gandhi would be tough given all the controversies he has been associated with. As Mr. Anurag Kashyap very famously said in one of his interviews that you can make movies in India on every subject except Politics, it looks like there will be no takers to this story in the near future.<br />
<br />
P.S. We have not suggested so as to who will play these roles because there is no formula when it comes to portray any real life character. I mean, who would have thought that Farhan Akhtar will portray Milkha Singh so beautifully. A very classic example would be Heath Ledger. The whole batman fan community (including me :P) were upset when Nolan decide Ledger to cast as Joker. Rest is History.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been almost 4 months into 2014 and still Aashiqui 2's "<i>Tum Hi Ho</i>" is every one's hot favourite and is played every hour on some random music channel/radio station daily. Popularity of "<i>Tum Hi Ho</i>" was such a phenomenon year back (when it released) that people had that song as ringtone & caller tunes. I am neither against this song nor do I hate it. In fact, I too love this song. I am even happy that at least with this song people came to know about Mithoon who IMO is still much underrated composer in present day Bollywood inspite of giving some chartbuster soundtracks (Bas Ek Pal, Aggar, Anwar, The Train). But the fact that hurts me is that many people still haven't discovered some underrated gems that came out in 2013.</div>
<br />
So here is my list where I will talk about Top 10 Bollywood Soundtracks of 2013 - some known, some unknown & some you might have heard but missed it.<br />
<br />
But before you proceed further a <b>RULE</b> you should follow regarding this article - <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There is no RIGHT or WRONG in music. Your choices may differ from mine. It's about personal viewpoint & liking.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Composer of the Year</b> - Sachin Jigar<br />
<br />
Truly 2014 belonged to young & talented composing duo - Sachin Jigar. From composing for flop films like Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story, Issaq, Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya & I Me Aur Main to hit soundtracks of Shuddh Desi Romance, Go Goa Gone & ABCD - Any Body Can Dance they were consistent throughout the year. None of their soundtracks were boring or noisy & had popular yet genuinely wonderful music. From working in small films to big banners, they consolidated their place in Bollywood with magical soundtrack of Yash Raj Film's Shuddh Desi Romance.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UVRc8WvZV6U/U1AnTraby8I/AAAAAAAAAMc/trXHuMVrw-4/s1600/Sachin-Jigar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UVRc8WvZV6U/U1AnTraby8I/AAAAAAAAAMc/trXHuMVrw-4/s1600/Sachin-Jigar.jpg" height="245" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Talented duo Sachin Jigar </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
It's always difficult to select which soundtrack enters the top 10 list. Sometimes a soundtrack appeals to you initially but in a long run it doesn't while sometimes you hate a particular soundtrack but after watching that movie you start loving & listening to it.<br />
<br />
<b>Soundtracks that missed the Top 10 list</b> -<br />
<br />
Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (Sanjay Leela Bhansali)<br />
Special 26 (M M Kreem)<br />
Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola (Vishal Bhardwaj)<br />
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Pritam)<br />
3G (Mithoon)<br />
Madras Cafe (Shantanu Moitra)<br />
<br />
<b>Top 10 Bollywood Soundtracks of 2013</b> -<br />
<br />
10. David - Mikey McCleary, Prashant Pillai, BramFatura, Maati Baani, Remo Fernandes, Anirudh Ravichander, Modern Mafia & The Lightyears Explode<br />
<br />
Even though David was not as impressive as Bejoy Nambiar's cult debut Shaitan (2011) but surely that man has some good sense of music & the way he incorporates them in his films is just brilliant. And probably it is only in his films that you get to listen a song from Indie rock band. Shaitan had a song by death metal band Bhayanak Maut while David offered a great platter of variety with some Indie names like BramFatura, Modern Mafia & The Lightyears Explode. Considering that David's story revolved around 3 time lines (London 1975, Mumbai 1999, Goa 2010) music too was created with a great detail referencing that era. One of the most underrated soundtracks of 2013.<br />
<br />
<b>My Pick</b> - Ghum Huye, Mast Kalandar, Out of Control, Ya Hussain & Tore Matware Naina<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag - Shankar Ehsaan Loy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After lackluster music in 2011 & 2012 (barring Chittagong & ZNMD), SEL finally got their mojo back with impressive soundtrack of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. It had some brilliant mix of genres from inspirational tracks to sufi love ballads & even a short "<i>Gurbani</i>" by Daler Mehndi. Soundtrack also saw an assured singing debut by Siddharth Mahadevan & as usual terrific lyrics by Prasoon Joshi.</div>
<br />
<b>My Pick</b> - Zinda, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (Rock Version), O Rangrez & Mere Yaar<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Ek Thi Daayan - Vishal Bhardwaj</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It rarely happens that Vishal Bhardwaj - Gulzar combo goes wrong. They have been giving us some great soundtracks since past 2 decades right since Maachis (1994). Ek Thi Daayan was one such short effective soundtrack that had Gulzar's poetry all over it. Being a horror film, VB made sure to have couple of spooky tracks in it. Also try to listen to extremely <a href="https://soundcloud.com/clinton-cerejo/ich-faraiya-witches-theme" target="_blank">terrifying background score</a> by Clinton Cerejo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>My Pick</b> - Lautungi Main, Sapna re Sapna & Kaali Kaali</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. ABCD Any Body Can Dance - Sachin Jigar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They became immensely popular with their soundtrack for Remo Dsouza's debut F.A.L.T.U. (2011) & continued their success and popularity with Remo's second film - ABCD Any Body Can Dance. For a dance film what you need is an energetic & foot tapping soundtrack with fusion of various genres and that exactly is delivered by Sachin Jigar here. Though background score is equally fascinating.</div>
<br />
<b>My Pick</b> - Duhaai, Bezubaan & Shambhu Sutaya<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Nautanki Saala! - Mikey McCleary, Falak Shabbir, Rashid Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana & Rochak Kohli</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Yet again New Zealander Mikey McCleary spins his magic here with rich magical score. His re-imagination of old classic numbers (<i>Dhak Dhak</i> & <i>So Gaya Yeh Jahaan</i>) were quirky while his original composition too had a fresh feel to it. Entire soundtrack was superbly arranged by Mikey even though he wasn't composer for certain songs & that's what complimented film's SoBo-ish look perfectly.</div>

5. Go Goa Gone - Sachin Jigar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Ram Sampath's terrific soundtrack of Delhi Belly (2011), I rarely came across a soundtrack that had outrageously quirky lyrics in it. But Amitabh Bhattacharya is the same man who reinvented his Delhi Belly avatar here with crazy lyrics in trippy "<i>Babaji ki Booti</i>" & Anti Monday anthem "<i>Khoon Choos Le</i>". Sachin Jigar's uber cool music complimented Amitabh's lyrics really well. Also watch out for some amazing editing tricks in both the songs.</div>

4. Raanjhanaa - A R Rahman</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No matter what A R Rahman soundtrack is always one of the most anticipated soundtracks of the year. Raanjhanaa was surely one of those soundtracks plus it had Irshad Kamil as lyricist teaming up with ARR after brilliant Rockstar. Rahman pleased us with wide range of genres starting from Folk Classical (<i>Banarasiya</i>, <i>Ay Sakhi</i>, <i>Tum Tak</i> & <i>Raanjhanaa</i>) to contemporary sounds in "<i>Tu Mun Shudi</i>", "<i>Nazar Laaye</i>" & "<i>Aise Na Dekho</i>" to use of aarti chants in "<i>The Land of Shiva</i>". Another great thing about this soundtrack was that Rahman used Shehnaai in almost all songs thus giving tribute to legendary Shehnaai player Ustad Bismillah Khan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

3. Kai Po Che - Amit Trivedi</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was fairly disappointed when I knew that this soundtrack by Amit had only 3 tracks. With Swanand Kirkire's fabulous lyrics & Amit's brilliant music made that disappointment disappear. Arshad Khan's melancholic esraj in "<i>Maanjha</i>" still haunts me & soon this short yet sweet soundtrack was on the repeat mode. Also listen to poignant background score by Hitesh Sonik which makers released online. You can listen to entire Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Kai Po Che including songs & background score <a href="http://gaana.com/album/celebrate-kai-po-che-original-motion-picture-soundtrack" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

2. Shuddh Desi Romance - Sachin Jigar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shuddh Desi Romance was Sachin Jigar's big ticket to stardom with prestigious YRF producing it. Music had flashes of Rajasthani folk fusion with modern sounds (Jazz, Bossa Nova etc.) & insightful lyrics by Jaideep Sahni. Basically it was the choice of singers (Mohit, Benny, Sunidhi, Shalmali & Divya Kumar) that made this soundtrack a great listen. Sachin Jigar's best work till date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And.... the Best Soundtrack of 2013 was Amit Trivedi's Lootera. Interestingly this was for the first time that Amit Trivedi collaborated with A R Rahman's regular Chennai String Orchestra. Listen to any song in the soundtrack and you can sense some amazing string sections. From pensive "<i>Shikayatein</i>" to Baul based "<i>Monta Re</i>" to SD Burman style "<i>Sawaar Loon</i>" everything was pitch perfect in this soundtrack. Amit Trivedi hit a great masterstroke here backed by some brilliant lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>Kuch maangna baaki nahi, jitna mila kaafi hai</i>".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Having read the entire list you may be surprised to see not even a single mention of Aashiqui 2 here except the opening paragraph. Frankly speaking Aashiqui 2 was just an average soundtrack which gained immense popularity just because of 2 tracks (Mithoon's <i>Tum Hi Ho</i> & Ankit Tiwari's <i>Sunn Raha Hai Na Tu</i>). Otherwise Jeet Gannguli's compositions were pretty decent & not that great. Having read this you may be infuriated & would be getting ready to type that how the hell did I missed Aashiqui 2 in the list but before you do that hold on.... & READ THE RULE mentioned in the beginning.</div>

So we will definitely talk about how 1951 was a better musical year than 1952, maybe some other day. But today we are here to appreciate 1952 for the year of musical gems, it was. India had been independent for 5 years already. And despite sounding donnish, there can't be a better year to start engulfing oneself into the magic of old Indian bollywood.<br />
<br />
But before we get started, let me share the greatest thing on Internet first with the readers -<br />
<a href="http://www.mohdrafi.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mohdrafi.com/</a><br />
<br />
<b><i>Yes, there is a complete website for Mohammad Rafi, and thats not even close to the most awesome thing this website has. It boasts of an unparallel feat of having a 24 hr Rafi channel. So if you had been searching for God all your life and didn't know which website to look at, here it is. 24 hr of Rafi and you have found God.</i></b><br />
<br />
Period<br />
<br />
1952 holds a special place in Indian history because of the first general elections held in India that year and how India as a country came out of shackles in many aspects. And Bollywood slowly became the pulse of the nation by then. One of the biggest happening that will change the way people had access to music would change dramatically with the beginning of Binaca geet mala on radio Ceylon. A quick trivia there: Binaca is a part of Dabur Group, and would become Cibaca later on. The show would also give India its first and the only superstar of radio - Mr Ameen Sayani. The show ran non stop on Radio Ceylon till 1988 after which it went over to Vividh Bharti and ran for 6 more years before ending in 1994. And if you aren't warmed up yet, then here is something that will start you up (like Cibaca and Binaca)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/E8oYWmB49pM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
Now back to business, Hindi cinema kept buzzing with brilliance of Dev sahab, Dileep sahab and Raj Kapoor. But the year became notable for the new talent on the block, Bharat Bhushan. With Baiju Bawra and Anand Math, Bhushan had 2 brilliant inks to his name this year. Both were musical and cinematic masterpieces. Talat and Mukesh kept having a brilliant year as singers but it was slowly becoming obvious that the times were changing and Rafi, being the force of nature he was, was slowly taking over erverything by storm.<br />
<br />
And in females, it was obvious in 1951 itself that there was nothing like Maa Saraswati but only Lata mangeshkar, who continued to have a fantastic year in 1952 as well.<br />
<br />
It would be interesting to note the best films of the year. Aan, Baiju Bawra, Daag, Jaal, Anhonee, Sangdil and Aandhiyan. Among music composers Naushad had come into his own. With the seminal work in Dulari with Rafi - Suhani raat dhal chuki, the song which some people mistook as the national anthem of Trinidad & Tobago, it was so popular; he was back again and the duo created magic in Baiju Bawra. Each song of the film is a classic and continued to inspire generations of composers and singers. Each song from this soundtrack is a masterpiece starting from the devotional Man Tadpat Hari darshan ko and O Duniya Ke Rakhwale to the poignant Tu Ganga Ki Mauj. It is said that a Hindu from Nepal came to Mumbai afer hearing 'man tadpat hari darshan' and was dumbfounded to know that it was sung by a muslim (Rafi sahab). He literally fell onto his foot and worshipped him like Hari.<br />
<br />

<br />
Aan was the other masterpiece of Naushad this year and is considered an epic film in its entirety with Dileep kumar and Nadira giving one of the best performances on-screen. Each song of the movie would come across as a claasic with Maan Mere Ehsaan, Lagi Tanman Mein, Tujhe Kho Diya Humne Paa Leneke Baad being the popular numbers, the stand out was Dil Mein Chhupa Ke Pyar Ka Toofan which has Rafi in his melodious best<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
While Rafi and Naushad were busy in their own league, Talat sahab was having his best year as well. Claimed by many as the replacement of Saigal, Talat was destined to greatness had Rafi storm not invaded the Bollywood planet. But having said that, his smooth silk voice was at its best in 1952. He had so many brilliant songs this year that its hard to figure out some of the better ones, but Main Dil Hoon Ek Armaan Bhara (Anhonee), Tum Ko Fursat Ho (Bewafa, AR Quereshi aka Allah Rakha Khan or father of Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, <b>the movie had Ashok Kumar and Raj Kapoor in their only screen appearance together</b>), Aye Mere Dil Kahin ( Daag, Shankar Jaikishen), Mohabbat Mein Kashish Hogi (Khoobsurat, Madan Mohan) and the entire soundtrack of C Ramchandra's Parchhayaian with songs like Woh Zalim Pyar Kya Jaane and Kya Dil Ka Lagana Bhool Gaye<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/gxiOU2c7F-8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
SD burman and OP Nayyar had a silent year by their general standards. But someone who did get out if shadows was Hemant da. Jaal and Anand Math turned out to be epitomes of harmonic music, bringing out the essence of Rabindro sangeet. He also got prominence for the toxicating vocals in 'Ye raat ye chandni fir kahan'. SJ also had a silent year, probably the only silent year in the 50s with their prominent creation being Daag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/dBw_JSiNF9c/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/dBw_JSiNF9c&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/dBw_JSiNF9c&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<br />
And now to the singer who would be the only one to out sing Rafi sahab in the bigger scheme of things. Lata sang more than 100 songs again as she did in 1951.Khelo Rang hamare sang with Shamshad Begum (Aan), all ongs of Nirmohi with Madan Mohan (A relationship that will not end even with the latter dying and lata coming back out of retirement to sing in Veer Zara for him). The total list of Lata songs can be found here, as it would be wrong to pick some out of these gems in 1952 - http://cineplot.com/music/lata-mangeshkars-song-list-1952/<br />
<br />
So all in all a special year for hindi music and something that generations will keep listening to. And before we part, here's my fav song of the year.<br />

Bollywood is more than 100 years old now and the journey has been breathtaking. To look back and feel proud of this spectacle is the 'haq' of every Indian. But what hasn't been away from Bollywood is the Kapoor family or the Kapoor Khandan as we call it with love. Starting with Prithvi raj Kapoor in the first ever Bollywood talkie - Alam Ara to the latest Besharam, the bollywood is laden with imprints of this glorious family that gave so much to us<br />
<br />
So here's to them, reflecting back through some images<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-89ef028a-16da-2251-559a-5fffd761bcdd"><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There was a lot going on in the movies back in the day. The story had everything from rib tickling comedy to some serious melodrama. And when I say serious I mean gut wrenching, heart clenching, tears-filling-up-the-oceans serious. Now there has to be some really heavy word play going on in the story to balance it all and churn out more than 800 movies a year. That's right. Over Eight friggin' hundred. </span></span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">But bollywood has never disappointed in the dialogue department. There has never been a lack of serious stuff. Incredible performances by legendary actors that have inspired generations of film makers and actors. But that’s a story for another day. Today we talk about the really cheesy, typical bollywood masala dialogues that have been used over and over again. And again. And again. And yet strangely, they are always relevant, always fit the story and can be spoken by just about anyone in the movie. In fact, if you just collected all these dialogues, you </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">wouldn't</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> need much else to come up with a movie of your own. </span></span><br />

Yes the damn doctors who were clearly not very good at their jobs and insisted every single time that </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ab sab kuchh upar wale ke haath me hai.</span></span></div>

Still do. But this line. God this line. It has been said by so many people in so many movies, there was clearly some miscommunication going on coz no one ever knew the answer to this question.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> pehle hi bata dete kyun paal pos kar bada kar rahe ho to baad me confusion nahi hoti. trial and error se thodi na pata chalega. picture after picture they tried finding out ki aakhir kyun paal pos ke bada kiya but alas</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">…..!!</span></span></div>

He used to probably watch them with the same excitement as us and then suddenly hear his name and go, “Wait, I am supposed to do something now?

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
first 2 months of 2014 have passed & we had some amazing films to our
company like Dedh Ishqiya, Miss Lovely, Highway & Kamal Swaroop’s cult
classic Om Dar-B-Dar. We even had nausea inducing & cringe worthy masala

Katiyabaaz (Powerless)<br />
Director – Deepti Kakkar & Fahad Mustafa<br />
Cast – Real people<br />
<br />
After commercial success of extremely hilarious satire Supermen Of Malegaon

Bollywood. Based on long power cuts in Kanpur, Katiyabaaz traces the story of a
man who supplies illegal electricity while local government’s angst and search
for him. Best part of this documentary is that it offers stories from both perspectives.

Ugly</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">
Director – Anurag Kashyap<br />
Cast – Ronit Roy, Vineet Kumar, Tejaswini Kolhapure, Rahul Bhatt & Siddhant
Kapoor<br />
<br />
The biggest disappointment of 2013 was no release of Anurag Kashyap’s dark
thriller Ugly. A simple child kidnapping gets more complex as true & ugly
faces of people are revealed. Hope Censor Board understands and gets away with
those anti-smoking watermarks. And boy! Ronit Roy looks like a badass!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
VB completes his trilogy of Shakespeare adaption by adapting his Hamlet into
Haider set in ‘90s Kashmir. Hope this film brings back the hero Shahid Kapur
actually was (Kaminey, Jab We Met). Also it marks VB’s collaboration with his
hit Maqbool pair – Irrfan & Tabu. Gulzar’s lyrics & VB’s music. Simply
waiting.<br /><br />

Tumbaad</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">
Director – Rahi Anil Barve<br />
Cast – Sohum Shah<br />
<br />
Anand Gandhi after tasting critical & commercial success with Ship Of
Theseus is back but this time as a producer. With almost same crew as that of
SOT (Pankaj Kumar as DOP & Sohum Shah in lead) Tumbaad is a period horror
thriller set in pre & post independence era of Pune. For me the genre of
Period Horror Thriller itself is so luring. Plus Rahi Anil Barve made an ultra
dark disturbing B&W short film Maanjha which was praised by many including
Danny Boyle for its unsettling theme. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">
Director – Dibakar Banerjee<br />
Cast – Sushant Singh Rajput, Anand Tiwari & Sohum Shah<br />
<br />
Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s famous Bengali detective Byomkesh Bakshi is set to
be revived in Bollywood by Dibakar Banerjee. Being filmed as a series,
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy (first part in so-called series) will showcase young
20-something Byomkesh (Sushant Singh Rajput) solving crimes in 1940 Calcutta
with his trusted assistant Ajit (Anand Tiwari). Very much similar to Sherlock
Holmes series, movie will also have a super intelligent villain trying to wage
war in British occupied India. Looks damn promising and yes it is being co-produced
by YRF.<br />

P.K.<br />
Director – Rajkumar Hirani<br />
Cast – Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani &
Sanjay Dutt<br />
<br />
A Rajkumar Hirani film is just not a film it is a subject for any budding
filmmaker to understand how films are made, how characters are written, how
editing is done & how humour is mixed superbly with narrative. Hirani has
himself created a genre for himself with feel good yet intellectual films like Munnabhai Series
& 3 Idiots. Teaming up yet again with Aamir Khan, Hirani’s P.K. is a
religious satire on self styled god men in our country co-written by superbly
talented Abhijat Joshi. Do you still need a reason to watch this one?<br /><br />

Bombay Velvet<br />
Director – Anurag Kashyap<br />
Cast – Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, Kay Kay Menon & Raveena
Tandon<br />
<br />
Based on Gyan Prakash’s book Mumbai Fables, Bombay Velvet is a neo-noir drama
thriller set in ‘50s & ‘60s Bombay showcasing how Bombay transformed into a
metropolis. The most interesting thing is that Ranbir Kapoor plays Street Boxer;
Anushka & Raveena play Jazz singers while Karan Johar plays an egoistic Parsi
Businessman (main antagonist). Also Kashyap reunites with his Dev.D team – Amit Trivedi (Music),
Amitabh Bhattacharya (Lyrics) & Rajeev Ravi (DOP). Christmas 2014 will be
exciting to wait for.</span><br />

Qissa – The Tale of a Lonely Ghost<br />
Director – Anup Singh<br />
Cast – Irrfan, Tisca Chopra, Tillotama Shome & Rasika Duggal<br />
<br />
Undoubtedly the most awaited film of the year is Anup Singh’s Qissa set in 1947
partitioned Punjab. It is a story of a man who raises his youngest daughter as
a son. Irrfan’s power packed performance, dark theme of confused sexuality,
partition, political turmoil & women oppression are reason enough to watch
this Punjabi-hindi film. This film was awarded with Netpac Award for best Asian
film at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).</span><br />
