There is a saying in Hindi – भगवान जब देता है,तो छप्पर फाड़कर देता है. This saying is used in the context of unexpected gains, not necessarily in terms of monetary gains but in any form. For example, this saying applies to a farmer who gets a bumper crop in the backdrop of the loss of crops due to drought or floods in the preceding one or two years. This saying also applies to Sujoy Ghosh when his low budget film, ‘Kahaani’ (2012) earned a bumper box office collections after his preceding two films – ‘Home Delivery’ (2005) and ‘Alladdin’ (2009) failed at the box office.

There are some actors who have normally been identified with what is known as ‘middle of the road’ films. The big names among them are Amol Palekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Farooque Shaikh, Om Puri, Irfaan Khan, Deepti Naval, Paresh Rawal and Pankaj Kapoor. In the recent times, some more actors have joined this list which includes Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Raghubir Yadav, Pankaj Tripathi etc. One more name of the actor which I would like to include in this list is Sanjay Mishra who has come into prominence after 2013. I am a great admirer of Sanjay Mishra as an actor. I find him to be an ‘offbeat’ actor because his expressions, reactions, body movements and dialogue deliveries are unpredictable. As an actor, Sanjay Mishra gives a feel of a real character of one among us.

There are a good number of feature films made on Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy. I have watched a couple of Gandhi films – Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ (1982) and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ (2006). There is film titled ‘Road to Sangam’ (2010) which I had not heard of until recently. The title of the film gave me an impression of a film on a road journey to the confluences of the holy rivers in India (for example, Panch Prayags in Uttarakhand). But it turned out to be a Hindi film connected with Mahatma Gandhi.

Maqbool Fida Husain (17/09/1915 – 09/06/2011), better known as M F Husain, has been a celebrated painter not only of India but for world over. He has been also called as ‘Picasso of India’. He was the highest paid painter of India. It is said that the great artists have their own muse which motivate them to excel in their chosen form of arts. Madhuri Dixit was Husain’s first among his other Bollywood muses when he got hooked to her film, ‘Ham Aapke Hain Kaun’ (1994). He painted her umpteen times. In ‘Mohabbat’ (1997) in which Madhuri Dixit played the role of an artist, her paintings in the film were actually done by M F Husain.
