When he passed away twenty four years ago, in 1989, it was just one year after that he had received the national award for the Best Male Singer (1988). This was despite the fact that he had suffered a major heart attack in 1980, after which, many reviewers said that he was not his original self, and had lost the quality of his voice.

In 1978, BR Chopra made this remarkable film ‘Pati, Patni Aur Who’. I call it remarkable because it is a rare occasion that the theme of marital infidelity is being dealt as a comedy. A happily married executive, wife of his liking through a love marriage, one child, and a comfortable household and life. What more can a man desire. Ah but yes, it is these ‘more’ desires of the man that are the thorn in the side.

Today (26 september 2013) has been a lean day so far with only one post appearing till now. We have some important anniversaries falling today and we cannot let them go by just like that notwithstanding the other pressing matters that I too have to contend with sometimes.

I did say in my last post of ‘N’ song that I will quickly move on to the next alphabet. But this post has got inadvertantly delayed at my level. The reason is my hectic schedule, which has made me a frequent traveller. Things are a bit crazy and and unsettled. I am one of those who hates travel. But then if the situation demands that you leave the comforts of home and be a backpacker, so be it. Hopefully, next month is going to be better than the last few months, with things resolved on one front at least which has taken me out of town thrice in two months.

So today (25 september 2013) is the 53rd birthday of Master Satyajeet (DOB 25 september 1960) who played the role of a young Dev Anand in “Hare Rama Hare Krishna”. He grew up and did a few movies as main lead mainly in Rajshri Films— Paheli (1977), Gopal Krishna (1979) etc and then probably he realized that he was getting nowhere as far as leading roles were concerned.

“Blackmailer” (1959) is one of the more obscure movies of all time, it would seem. The only information that I am able to gather about this movie is that it was a Firdaus Films production and that it had Amar Nath, Shanta Kumari and Habib.

A style icon of the industry, if ever there was one. A resplendent persona, clearly sparkling with the pathaan lineage behind him, his name spells out a split level career that he straddled almost all his active working years. A career that was forever in either the B grade cinema, getting the macho image of an anti-hero, long before the arrival of Amitabh, or being the friend or a brother of the leading man, whenever he got the opportunity to venture into the A grade films. Or the second level where he called his own shots, made his own films and produced one blockbuster after another.
