2 December 2023 was the 9th Remembrance Day of Deven Verma (23/10/1937 – 02/12/2014) who had taken comical performances in Hindi films on a different level. Gulzar had said about Deven Verma that he was not a comedian but an actor. I think, he must have made this statement with his experience of working with him in ‘Angoor’ (1982). His performance was devoid of buffoonery but was loaded with gentle humour, wit, and pun. His wife, Roopa Ganguly had said that her husband was a witty person in his real life.

Hindi film audience may be acquainted with Pearl Padamsee (1931 – 24/04/2000) for her good performances in Basu Chatterjee’s films, ‘Khatta Meetha’ (1977) and ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979). She was also seen in Shyam Benegal’s ‘Junoon’. But more than an actor in Hindi films, she was an eminent theatre personality who, in colloboration with Alyque Padamsee, propped up a vibrant English theatre in Mumbai for over 4 decades.

While discussing the films, ‘Gharaonda’ (1977) and ‘Dooriyaan’ (1979), the name of Bhimsain gets noticed. Both these films were produced and directed by him whose specialisation was in animation films. His foray into feature film was a journey into uncharted waters for him. In the event, both these films became cult-classics. Thereafter, he made only one Hindi film, ‘Tum Laut Aao’ (1983) and bid goodbye to Hindi films. He devoted rest of his life in improving the standard of animation films in India. I have come across about a dozen of videos on the development of animation films in India and all of these mention about the contributions Ram Mohan and Bhimsain in the field of animation films in India.
Remembering Bhimsain Khurana (24/11/1936 – 17/04/2018), a devoted animation filmmaker whose 87th birth anniversary falls today.

Producer-director-writer, Basu Chatterjee is one of the earliest filmmakers who brought up middle-class related issues on the big screen with films like ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969), ‘Piya Ka Ghar’ (1971), ‘Rajnigandha’ (1974), ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ (1975), ‘Chitchor’ (1976), ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979) and many more. He has also made film with other genres of which ‘Kamla Ki Maut’ (1989) was critically acclaimed. But the film failed at the box office. He went back to his favourite genre of middle class family drama with light comedy, and made for Doordarshan a telefilm, ‘Hamaari Shaadi’ (1990). About 3 months back, Doordarshan uploaded the film in digital format on one of the video sharing platforms, with improved audio-visual quality.

Buddhadeb Dasgupta (11/02/1944 – 10/06/2021) has been a well-known director of many off-beat and ‘middle of the road’ Bangla films, some of which have earned him the National Film Awards and other awards. I was not aware that he had also directed 3 Hindi films, ‘Andhi Gali’ (1984), ‘Bagh Bahadur’ (1990) and ‘Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa’ (2014) until recently when I heard a song from his third Hindi film. The reason for this film’s obscurity was that it never got theatrical release though the film was certified by the Censor Board on September 8, 2014, for its India release. However, before that it was premiered on October 17, 2013, at BFI, London Film Festival. In October 2020, EROS NOW released the film on OTT platform. The cast consisted of Navazuddin Siddiqui in the main role with Makrand Brahme, Niharika Singh, Ananya Chatterjee, Pankaj Tripathi, Ekavali Khanna, Amrita Chattopadhyay, Masood Akhtar etc.
