‘Shabd’ (2005) was a psychological, art film produced by Pritish Nandy & his daughter Rangita Pritish Nandy with story, screenplay & direction by Leena Yadav. Leena’s husband Aseem Bajaj was the cinematographer of the film. The dialogue was by Sutapa Sikdar who’s husband was (late) Irfan Khan. Vishal (Dadlani) and Shekhar (Ravijani) were the music directors for songs written by Irshad Kamil & Vishal Dadlani. The film got good reviews but performed below expectations at the box office, despite being profitable. The story is adapted from the critically acclaimed Malayalam film ‘Rachana’ released in 1983.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
Some films don’t attract audiences, they just flop. No filmmaker makes a film to loose his investments. They begin with a firm story in mind but incorrect promotion and/or word of mouth spread by the few who see it works against the fortunes of the film.
“My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves” that released on 11th January 2008 is one such film. The first thing that was touted about the film was the protagonist played by Nikhil Dwivedi was a Shahrukh Khan look-alike. Second, the title of the film itself was not something that would give an idea to moviegoers about the content of the film. All this was in the year 2007/2008.

We now move on to the next actress whose name begins with an “A” and who has lip-synced to a song by Asha Bhosle. Today, we feature Anjala Zaveri.
Anjala Zaveri was launched in a big way through Vinod Khanna’s film Himalay Putra (1997). Since Akshaye Khanna was to be introduced in this film, a nationwide search campaign was conducted to find a suitable heroine for him. A similar kind of large-scale build-up had earlier been seen with Henna (1990), which benefited from it and became successful.
Anjala Zaveri was born in the UK into a Gujarati-speaking family. However, since Himalay Putra was not a major success, her acting career stalled before it could properly take off. The success that eluded her in the Bombay film industry was partially compensated by her work in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, where she remained active for the next eight years or so. In total, she appeared in 23 films: 7 in Hindi, 11 in Telugu, 3 in Tamil, and 1 each in Kannada and Malayalam.
Love me love me love me

The song with this post is courtesy Peevesie. My daughter who led me to this blog in 2009. I just popped a question to her and the answer was this song. And why does she love this song because of its lyrics, which are very layman-friendly; almost like what she herself will tell or write.

30th March marks 24 years since Anand Bakshi bid goodbye to this mortal world. He was all of 72 then. In the 45 years that he was active in the Hindi film industry he had worked with nearly 95-100 music directors (as per google) beginning with “Silver King” (1957) which had music by Sudipta (knowledgeable Atulites, please confirm if this music director is same as Sudipta Bhattacharya) & “Bhala Aadmi” (1958) with music by Nisar Bazmi; Bakshisaab first wrote for ‘Bhala Aadmi’ but ‘Silver King’ released first is what I discovered on google as I sat to write this post.

Syed Emraan Anwar Hashmi (known simply as Emraan Hashmi in the entertainment industry) was born in Mumbai to Anwar Hashmi who was essentially a businessman who had acted in “Baharon Ki Manzil” (1969) as the character that Farida Jalal’s character is supposed to marry (found this bit of information on the internet). Emraan Hashmi’s paternal grandmother was the yesteryear actress Meherbhano Mohammad Ali who was popular as Purnima, whose last released film came in the late 1990s. Purnima’s father (a Tamil Brahmin), was supposed to have been an accountant in the office of film distributor Kikubhai Dessai. Emraan Hashmi’s grand aunt was the mother of filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt & Mukesh Bhatt.

Tum ko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahoon tum se bhi to kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi wo lafz hi nahin
Ke jin mein tum ho kya tumhen bataa sakoon
Main agar kahoon tum saa haseen
Kaayenaat mein nahin hai kaheen
Ta’areef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin
How can an emotion, an achievement, a lacking, a statement, a praise, an expression of being lost, are to be expressed in a few lines? This mukhda of the song in “Om Shanti Om” is a perfect example. It says quite plainly that there are not words to be found in any language to describe you, i.e. the heroine. It is not just her beauty, the hero wants to praise. It is the essence of the person, that he is unable to describe.
In the stanza, her attributes are detailed as shokhiyon, adaayen, zulf, aanchal, roop ki chaandni etc. also dilkashi. But these words are just not enough to say what the hero wants to say. I have seen this film, but cant recall the whole story. Will have to see this once more to refresh the memory.
