2025 marks the 51st year in the entertainment industry for Shabana Azmi, not counting films that she may have been associated with during her training at FTII. Her ‘Parinay’ released on 1st January 1974; her debut film Shyam Benegal’s “Ankur’ is also a 1974 film. The last film starring Shabana Azmi came in 2023, actually there were two ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ & ‘Ghoomer’- I have seen both and as usual Shabana Azmi (the actor) cannot be missed. There is an upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947’ set against the backdrop of partition of India.

This was the only lead role Beena had performed in her entire Hindi film career. Incidentally, in ‘Lovers’ (1983) which was released in the same year, Beena had played the role of the mother to Kumar Gaurav.

Mahesh Bhatt started shooting the film immediately after the release of his film, ‘Arth’ (1982). However, the completion of the film was delayed probably because there was disputes between the producers which got sorted out through Prakash Mehra who acted as an arbitrator. The film was released on October 18, 1987.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990) Part-2 –post-5 (1989)

(Celebrating Pancham’s 86th Birth Anniversary 27.06.2025 – 9)
——————————————————————————————————

We are celebrating Pancham’s eighty-seventh birthday today (27 June 2025) on this musical blog. In the previous post I had mentioned about the ‘declining period’ of Pancham as it is said to start with the eighties. During this period he also had health issues and people also started deserting him. But, as I mentioned there were few people who stood by him even in his bad days and they willing to work with him. Pancham was also detemined to bounce back. One of these persons who stood by Pancham’s was his fan turned producer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Chopra was planning ‘Parindaa-1989’ and he had approached Pancham. When he met Pancham he found him in a stage of low self-esteem. However Vidhu Vinod Chopra insisted that only Pancham would give music to his film and he convinced Pancham to do so. Pancham in turn went on to extend help to Chopra when he didn’t have money to pay for the recordings.

Hullo Atuldom

Beginning this post with a few thoughts that have been running through my head. What is the time or age to define something as old?

I have been observing people around me, for the last few years of my better half’s tenure, at his last workplace. I am saying “last workplace” as he has decided to call it a day; inspite of loving what he has achieved over the last 45 years. People consider him young enough to open up about their joys & sorrows. His colleagues cannot believe or don’t want him to hang his boots yet. Of course, I am very proud of all that his co-workers (he doesn’t call them subordinates) have to say about him.
