Satish Ravilal Shah was known for his iconic roles which were steeped in comedy. The roles he chose were not of comic characters but ones that ended up being comic because of the situations the characters landed themselves in. The professor he played in ‘Main Hoon Na’ (2004) was not a cartoon but the way he spoke and the spit-spray accompanying his dialogues made the scenes hilarious. He played Saif Ali Khan’s sweet, cute, roly-poly father in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ (2003), there was no comedy in that. There was a scene, actually a snippet, where along with Ketki Dave (who played his wife) he is shown welcoming his to-be daughter-in-law’s family with a rhyme that is a description of the Gujrati community. Both, Ketaki Dave & Satish Shah didn’t flinch while enacting that scene, I have read somewhere that, the duo actually enjoyed themselves.

‘Gardish’ (1993) was produced by R Mohan under the banner of Good Knight Films and was directed by Priyadarshan. The cast included Jackie Shroff, Aishwarya (debutant), Dimple Kapadia, Farida Jalal, Amrish Puri, Rakesh Bedi, Mukesh Rishi (debutant), Annu Kapoor, Anant Mahadevan, Tej Sapru, Shagufta Ali etc. The film was a remake of Priyadarshan’s hit Malayalam film, ‘Kireedam’ (1989). The Malayalam title derives from the Sanskrit word, ‘Kireetam’ which means crown. Probably, in Malayalam language, ‘t’ is phonetically pronounced as ‘d’ when it appears in-between a word.

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.

Today (15 august 2026) is the 80th Independence day of India.
When I was a young school going kid in late 1960s and early 1970s, India celebrated 20 odd years of Independence. Now We are celebrating 80th Independence day !

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Anu Aggarwal, the Aashiqui girl.
Anu Aggarwal arrived with a bang. Her very first film created a huge splash. I still remember the posters of Aashiqui (1990) when they were released. The posters showed a man and a woman hidden behind a jacket, apparently sharing a kiss behind it. Everybody was curious to know who the actor and actress were and what they looked like. The build-up was immense. The songs from the film were first aired on Chitrahaar. The very next day, they became the talk of the town, attracting both praise and criticism.

Got to know that today is International Family Day. ‘Family’ is something that one doesn’t choose, a person is usually born into a family. The starting point of any family are the husband and wife who get to choose each other (atleast in modern times, not in the times of my parents or even till the turn of the century). In my opinion, the anniversary of our parents should be what we celebrate as ‘Family day’ or ‘Foundation Day’ (as I like to call it 😀) But that is my thought I don’t expect people to agree with me.
Google tells that “International Day of Families” is observed globally on May 15. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, the day aims to promote awareness about the social, economic, and demographic issues that affect families worldwide. The key theme for 2026 include ‘Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing’ and ‘Family- Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development’ emphasizing resilience and support.

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.

Today, February 13, 2026, is the 97th birth anniversary of Lekh Tandon, one of the versatile yet underrated Hindi filmmakers. Like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Lekh Tandon made decent films with commercial appeal. He experienced many ups and downs in his filmy career of about five decades. Yet he never gave up the career until his death.
Lekh Raj Tandon (13/02/1929 – 17/10/2017) was born in Lahore. His father, Faqueer Chand Tandon was the classmate of Prithviraj Kapoor. His elder brother, Yograj Tandon was Urdu playwright and worked as a secretary to Prithviraj Kapoor. Lekh Tandon’s father wanted him to compete for Civil Engineering entrance examination of VJTI in Bombay (Mumbai). Sometime in summer vacation, Lekh Tandon visited Bombay and stayed with Prithviraj Kapoor. During his stay, he used to go with Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor for watching the film shoots. He instantly liked the medium of film and decided that he wanted to become the film director.
