6th October is the birthdate a very handsome talented actor who could have fallen in the category of “SUPERSTAR” too, if he had not just given it all up to follow his spiritual Guru just as his career was on the upswing. He was an actor who could dance without making the audience feel that he was uncomfortable, I have seen him match steps with HEMA MALINI & Kalpana Iyer in the 1980s. He was introduced into Hindi films in Sunil Dutt’s ‘Man Ka Meet’ in a supporting role in 1968. He played supporting characters to Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Dharmendra, Manoj Kumar etc. in his initial films. He didn’t flinch from playing characters that had grey or negative traits- he was good in action sequences too.

His first leading role was in Gulzar’s directorial debut ‘Mere Apne’. He experienced stardom & success in the late 1970s and was seen playing solo protagonist in films like ‘Inkaar’, ‘Shaque’ (to name just two, there are many). He held his own in multi-starrers too; that is also a very long list. I would like to mention that he was repeated by al the filmmakers of that time- Feroz Khan, Sunil Dutt, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, Raj Khosla etc.

We are thinking of Vinod Khanna on what would have been his 80th birthday.

In this article, I am taking up the film, ‘Sailaab’ (1990) for the only reason that the chartbuster song from the film which is my all-time favourite dance song of Madhuri Dixit is yet to appear on the Blog. The film would have faded from the memory of the current generation but for this cult dance song. The video of this song which was uploaded only about five years back has already attained 11 million views.

‘Sheesha’ (1986) was produced by Sattee Shourie and was directed by Basu Chatterji. The cast included Mithun Chakraborty, Moon Moon Sen, Mallika Sarabhai, Vijayendra Ghatge, Suresh Chatwal, Naaz, Mrinalini, Madhumeeta, Guddi Maruti, Nandita Thakur, Sudha Chopra, Bhagwan Sinha, Ranjana Sachdev, Arvind Deshpande, Shakeela Majeed etc. The film’s story was based on a Bengali novel, ‘Maan Sammaan’ written by Mani Shankar Mukherjee. The film was delayed in its completion due to budgetary constraints and the creative differences between the producer and the director. At one time, the film remained incomplete for a year or so until Mithun Chakraborty persuaded Sattee Shourie to let the film be completed for which he gave up a part of his fee. Basu Chatterji also waived his last instalment of fee. The film was certified by CBFC on June 15, 1986. The film got the theatrical release on October 3, 1986.

When Atul started the series of “Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice”, he had asked readers to suggest actresses, whose name started with the letter B and whose Asha Bhosle’s song have not been covered on this blog. When he covered the letter B he kindly took up my suggestion of Bhanupriya. Bhagyashree was the other actress. I had also suggested Bipasha Basu, but the song suggested by me was only a background song and not lip-synched by the actress. As a comment to the B-instalment of Atul’s series, I also mentioned Bharati Sharma. So the next post, God-willing, will cover the song dil lagaane ko dil from Hai Golmaal in White House (2013).

Bhagyashree’s story is unlike that of most Bollywood actresses. Long before she became a household name, she was born into royalty. She hails from the illustrious Patwardhan family of Sangli in Maharashtra and is the great-granddaughter of Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan, the last ruling Raja of the princely state of Sangli during British rule.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

#Drunkard Songs -4 #

Today’s drunkard song is from the movie ‘Mawaali-1983’.

‘Mawaali-1983’ was directed by K. Bapaiyya for ‘Padmalaya Studios, Madras’. G. Hanumantha Rao was the producer of this ‘social’ movie passed by Censor Board on 28.10.1983.

By this time in 1983 I was studying in Std-XI with ‘PCM+ Vocational Subjects’. But, I was more interested in cricket and Rajesh Khanna movies than in my studies. But even then I had not watched this movie ‘Mawaali-1983’. I was averse to these Jeetendra movies coming from South directors except ‘Himmatwaalaa’ (since it was a first of its kind and discussed a lot then), ‘Tohfaa’ and ‘Maqsad’. ‘Tohfaa’ had some good songs and I watched it with many interested family members who had assigned me the task of booking the tickets for this movie.
