After coming to Mumbai, it took him almost 2 decades to direct his first film. But it was not that he had run away from his village to Mumbai to make a career in films. It was, what he called the ‘torturous nature’ of his uncle which drove him to Mumbai where he was prepared to grab any work including domestic servant and waiter for sustenance.

Mukesh and his Actors – 01
——————————————-

Well, the Halley’s comet is back on the blog.
So much so that it did not feature in nearly two centuries of latest posts. Reasons? Aren’t they cliches already on the blog?
Incidentally, speaking of the real macro universe comet itself, it last appeared in 1986 and is expected to pass by the pale blue dot next in July 2061. Second week of December this year, it reached the farthest point from the sun known as aphelion, thus beginning its journey towards the inner solar system.

So, the date for sighting arguably the most famous comet is set for July 2061 for earthlings alive then.

Coming back to the blog, we start with a new series Mukesh and his Actors. This has been a task which I had been contemplating for years and remained a non-starter mainly because I could not decide as to which actor, I should take up for the debut post.

Today’s song is from a Costume drama film Naqab-1955.

This was yet another film weaving a beaten-track story of the King – Queen and the evil Vazir. Initially I was quite amused with such stories and was keen to see these films. Slowly and in due course as I expanded my world, I started getting weary of such set stories. The basic plot used to be the same, only the names of places and the characters and actors used to be different. I guess, even the filmmakers got tired with these stories. In reality, the generation which enjoyed such child pleasing stories was receding in the background with the growing age and the next generation was eager to broaden its visions with different Genres of films like Comedy, Real life adventure, Religion, Love stories, Musicals, Historicals and what not !

“Hamlet”(1954) was produced and directed by Kishore Sahu for Hindustan Chitra Bombay. As is clear from the title, this story was written by William Shakespeare. All sites on internet mentions Pradeep Kuamr and Mala Sinha as the actors, but HFGK has a whole list of actors in this movie. The movie had Kishore Sahu, Mala Sinha, Venus Bannerjee, Hiralal,S Nazeer, Kamnaljeet, Jankidas, Srinath, Nirdoshi, Rajan Kapoor, Pal Sharma, Baby Sheela, Master Ratan, Jagdeesh Kamal, Harun, Agha Miraz, Fazal Khan, Avtar Singh etc in it. There was no Pradeep Kumar. One wonders how online sites got their details that this movie had Pradeep Kumar in it.
