Today’s song is a complete turn around for my style of writing on old films and music. It is like something “out of syllabus” for me ! Today’s song is from the film Chameli ki shaadi-1986. Usually, I restrict my choices between 30s to the 60s films. But there are some films made after 1970 ( and even some after 2000) which I liked very much. Chameli ki shaadi-1986 is one such film.
Actually I saw my last Hindi film in a theatre somewhere in the year 1975-76. After that I have not visited any Theatre. I have not seen any Multiplex from inside anytime. It does not mean that I stopped seeing films. In the 80s and 90s I saw films on my VCR and later on, on Television. As my age advanced, my patience receded and it was impossible for me to sit before a TV set for 4 hours to watch a movie of 2 1/2 hours and advertisements of 1 1/2 hours. In any case after the year 2000 the kind of films made were certainly not to my taste and I stopped seeing films completely, with some exceptions.

‘Imaandaar’ (1987) was produced by Surendra Pal Chaudhary and Sarla Sandhu and was directed by Sushil Malik. The cast included Sanjay Dutt and Farah Naaz in the lead roles supported by Pran, Sumeet Saigal, Satyen Kappu, Vikas Anand, Rohan Kapoor, Ranjeet, Mehmood, Om Prakash, Birbal, Chandrashekhar, Sudhir Dalvi, Dinesh Hingoo, Shammi, Shashi Kiran, Mehmood Jr., Ram Sethi, Subbiraj etc.
The film was a Prakash Mehra presentation which indicates as to who was behind this film. Sushil Malik, the director of the film was Prakash Mehra’s assistant director. The film’s producer, Surendra Pal Chaudhary was one of the partners of Prakash Mehra Productions. Another connection of this film with Prakash Mehra is his trademark film story revolving around a homeless, abandoned and orphaned lead actor, like in ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978), ‘Jwaalaamukhi’ (1980), ‘Laawaaris’ (1981), ‘Sharaabi’ (1984) etc. In a way, Prakash Mehra was replicating his own story who was an orphan child having lost his mother and thereafter his father abandoning him when he was 8 year of age.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
I simply love this app called YouTube on the internet, and when Rajaji reads this he will agree that YouTube is a lovable app. This app has a feature whereby after you finish seeing a video or song, it suggests similar songs which might match what you have just seen in genre etc. And it gives some very good suggestions.

Today (13 july 2015) is the 76th birth anniversary of Prakash Mehra (13 july 1939- 17 may 2009). He was a producer and director of Hindi movies. People growing up in 1970s grew up on a diet of Amitabh Bachchan movies which were produced and directed either by Manmohan Desai or by Prakash Mehra. It was in fact Prakash Mehra who helped create the legend of Amitabh Bachchan with “Zanjeer”(1973) ata time when Amitabh Bachchan was written off and he was on the verge of biddling farewell to his acting career. He was match point down ( as they say in tennis) when “Zanjeer”(1973) happened and he never had to look back again from ever since.
