Hullo to all Atulites.
So what is it today? Lata Mangeshkar’s birthday. What was it yesterday? Yash Chopra’s birthday. What was it day before yesterday? Dev Anand’s birthday. So what do we get if we put a search for the above combination? A movie called “Josheela” which was released in 1973.

This is one of my favourite songs from a film I like very much-Funtoosh-1956.
When this film was being advertised, there was quite a curiosity about the meaning of the word FANTOOSH. We had never heard this word- especially in the Non-Hindi belt- and no one knew what it meant. In those days, there was no Internet to find out. I was in college and we used to discuss about this word, advocating our guesses.

Remembering (belatedly) Vijay Anand on the anniversary of his passing away (23 Feb, 2004).
Really very few artists and film makers in the industry have been as versatile as Vijay Anand has been. Active in the industry since the early 1950s, Vijay is the youngest of the three Anand brothers. He did have an advantage of two elder siblings, Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, having made a place for themselves in the industry, when he also decided to take the plunge. And under the umbrella of his illustrious seniors, he had the opportunity to delve and develop a multi faceted career. In a career that spans more than five decades, Vijay Anand, or Goldie as he was known to his friends, made his mark as a screenplay and dialogue writer, as a director, as a producer, as an editor, and as an actor. His works are limited, given the span of his career, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. The films he has directed are outstanding, and he is acknowledged as the best director for picturization of songs, in the Indian film industry. In this aspect of film making, which is supremely significant given the musical nature of Indian cinema, he is without a peer.
