It is perhaps the inability of our times to distinguish between the “good” and the “great”, the “noteworthy” and the “legendary”, the “impressive” and the “brilliant”, that leads us to use the latter of the two adjectives in each case in far greater measure, and for far more modest achievements than would have been approved of by an earlier generation. Or maybe it is just our laziness, or our tendency to exaggerate, that leads us to our use (or abuse) of the English language in this manner.

Starting with the original superstar of Comedians-Noor Mohd.Charlie, it was a trend that atleast one song was given in every film,to the comedian. After Charlie,there was a big gap, when there was no comedian of his stature in Hindi Films. Ofcourse Kishore Kumar was there, but he was more of an actor and singer than a comedian.

So here I am again with another Jodi.

This Jodi gave us such a lovely time at the movies that our generation must be blessed to have been there then. And by a Jodi it need not necessarily mean a girl and a boy. It could be two girls as in Shabana Azmi –Rekha or Rekha- Moushmi Chaterjee or Shabana Azmi – Neetu Singh. Oh the list is endless or is there a definite number to such Jodis. There are also jodis of Males like Sanjeev Kumar- Shatrughan Sinha, Amitabh with Vinod Khanna as well as Mehra. Amitabh Bachchan must be one of the few actors who jelled with any hero he worked with viz. Shashi Kapoor, Dharamendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Rishi Kapoor, and with the later generation as well be it Govinda, Akshay Kumar, ShahRukh Khan , Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt etc. Ab in saari jodiyon ki baat hi kuch aur hai! What say?

It’s been a while since my last post here. And I feel pretty bad about it. Somehow, in the last month (or more), I’ve just not been able to generate the required mental juice to be able to come up with anything worth putting on paper (or on electronic media). Had Shakespeare been around and had one look at me, he’d have promptly coined something like “Listlessness, thou hast what human spirit conquer’d, For Man knoweth not whence he cometh, and where he goeth”.

October seems to be the month of birthdays for all who made it a habit to entertain us. We have already celebrated Vinod Khanna’s birthday. Next was the turn of Rekha who shares her birhday with S.D.Burman. Then we have the Superstar of the millennium (as the media went overboard describing him) Amitabh Bachchan followed by the grand old man of Hindi movies Ashok Kumar who shares it with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Then the list will have Nirupa Roy (everyone’s Mom or Ashok Kumar’s heroine as you may choose to remember her). And going by the list which Atul has compiled with the list sent by our in-house encyclopedia Arunkumar Deshmukhji and lots of inputs from Khyatiji and Prakashchandraji we will be celebrating a lot of birthdays in the days to come.

Today (11 October) is the 70th birth anniversary of Amitabh Bachchan. He was born this day in 1942.

Today he is a well established legend, but his beginnings were quite shaky and uninspiring. In fact, he had delivered a string of flop movies and he was on the verge of packing up and going back when “Zanjeer” (1973) was released and it became a hit. And after that Amitabh Bachchan did not have to look back.
