Raghuvaran- a name not many followers of Hindi films may be familiar about. Maybe if I list out some of the Hindi films that he acted in, Hindi Film Fans (HFF) will recognize him by the characters he played. He was popular in films made in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada & Malayalam. He had a with his special style and voice modulation. He played mostly negative or grey-shaded characters. Like all aspirants into the film industry, his first films had him play the main protagonist, but these met with little success. ‘Silk Silk Silk’ in which he played a villain opened the floodgates of offers for him and he got a spate of Tamil films.

The combination of Producer Dhanpat Rai and director B J Patel is known for their stunt/action genre of films. This combination has produced as many as 14 films in this genre beginning with ‘Silver King’ (1957) to their last film, ‘Phir Aaya Toofaan’ (1973).

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –13
————————————————

My last post on Mukesh and his Actors – 04 featured Feroz Khan wherein, in the penultimate para of the post, I made a mention of taking up yet another popular actor for whom Mukesh gave playback. When I prepared the list, I was pleasantly surprised to find more than one song of the actor’s association with Mukesh is yet to be covered and hold your breath… including the last song that Mukesh sang before he left the country for a concert in August 1976 and never returned.

The first song that I had sent to Atulji for posting today was from a film that had Sharmila Tagore’s character playing mother to Saif Ali Khan’s character in a 1993 film .

The song in this post is also similar. It has Dharmendra playing father to Sunny & Bobby Deol- his real life sons. Before this 2007 film the father-son duo of Dharmendra-Sunny had worked together in “Sultanat”, “Sunny” (no screentime together), “Saverewali Gaadi” and “Kshatriya”. Bobby & Sunny Deol had worked together in “Dillagi” in 1999.

‘Sitam’ (1991) was produced by Vikram Makandar (Vikram, the actor) who also wrote the story. The film was directed by the then husband-wife duo – Aruna-Vikas. The cast included Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil, Vikram, Arun Sarnaik, Keith Stevenson, Sulabha Deshpande, Manju Asrani, Vikas Desai, Master Hith (Aruna-Vikas’s son) etc. The film is said to be based on a real-life story which happened during a football match. The film’s completion was delayed as Aruna-Vikas were pre-occupied with their young daughter’s cancer treatment and subsequently her passing away in 1983. The film’s shooting was completed sometime in 1984. This was the only film which Vikram produced.

Hullo Atuldom

I love to see films in which actors who are siblings, parents with the actor or related in someway with the actor, cast in important roles. There are umpteen such films in India – in all languages. The film, in this category, that I really love to see (and have seen many times) is “Kal Aaj Aur Kal” which had the whole Kapoor Khandaan enacting their real-life relationships. Additionally, it had Babita who went on to become the daughter-in-law of the family, just as in the film. Then there is “Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai” which had Randhir & Rishi Kapoor playing brothers. There was one more movie in 2012 -“Housefull 2”- that had the two playing brothers who are constantly competing with each other etc.
