Hullo Atuldom

“Dosti Dushmani” (release date 31st October 1986) was directed and produced by T. Rama Rao. It had the team of Anand Bakshi- Laxmikant- Pyarelal giving us five songs that had Mohammad Aziz, Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Kavita Krishnamurthy, S. Janaki & S.P. Balasubramaniam as playback singers.

Jeetendra, Rishi Kapoor & Rajnikanth played fast-friends (soulmates) with Pran & Sowcar Janaki, who are the biological parents of Jeetendra (in the film), being the anchors in the life of the friends. Bhanupriya, Kimi Katkar & Poonam Ddhillon were the ladies in the lives of the heroes. Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Kadar Khan, Asrani, Shafi Inamdaar & Gurbachan form the supporting cast.

This film was a remake of the Telugu film “Mugguru Mithrulu” (1985). The Telugu film was also remade in Kannada as “Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara” (1988).

I have seen the film, in parts, whenever it shows on some satellite television channel. I have seen that Jeetendra is forced into a fake marriage with Bhanupriya to shield Poonam Dhillon, who is Rajnikanth’s wife, from defamation or some such thing. In this fake marriage, Rishi Kapoor, Pran & Sowcar Janaki are the co-conspirators. Then there is an angle of Kimi Katkar, who has an axe to grind against Amrish Puri, falling in love with Rishi Kapoor. Plus, we come to know that Bhanupriya & Rajnikanth are siblings & Amrish Puri is their father who had abandoned the family at the start of the film. Additionally, Rajnikanth had got separated from his family & was fostered by Pran. What an uncomplicated masala film!!!!

This film is making it’s debut on the occasion of the 75th birthday of actor Rajnikanth who has a cult, God-like status among his fans particularly in South India. He has acted in films of all four South Indian languages though the number of Malayalam films is only one or two. His name appears in the credits of a Bengali film too, as ‘Guest Appearance’. He has acted in around 25/26 Hindi films. He has also produced & wrote screenplay for a few films (learnt this today)

Rajinikanth was born as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad on 12 December 1950, in a Marathi family, in Bangalore, Mysore State (present day Karnataka). His mother was a homemaker and his father, Ramoji Rao Gaekwad, was a police constable. He was the youngest of four siblings; he has two older brothers & a sister.

A fact about his early life, which is not well – known (or I should say I learnt today) is that his brother enrolled him at the Ramakrishna Math. Here, he was taught Vedas, tradition & history and also began acting in plays at the Math. His aspiration towards theatre grew at the Mathh and was once given an opportunity to enact the role of Ekalavya’s friend from the Hindu epic Mahabharata. His performance in the play received praise from the Kannada poet D. R. Bendre.

Upon completion of his school education, Rajinikanth took up several jobs including that of a coolie, before getting a job in the Bangalore Transport Service as a bus conductor. He continued to take part in plays after the Kannada playwright Topi Muniappa offered him a chance to act in one of his mythological plays. He decided to take up an acting course in the newly formed Madras Film Institute after coming across an advertisement. During his stay at the institute, he was noticed by the Tamil film director K. Balachander. Balachander provided Rajinikanth with his stage name to avoid confusion with fellow actor Sivaji Ganesan. The director advised Rajnikanth to learn to speak Tamil, a recommendation that he quickly followed. Although he can read the language, he cannot write in it. (Me too, I can read the language with some difficulty but not write it. I think I am qualified to be Rajni Saar’s fan. 🙂 )

Rajinikanth played supporting and “villainous” roles in most of the films released during the initial years of his career with lead roles which were few & far-between. His first film as one of the main leads, in Tamil came in 1978 in a remake of ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’. He first played a positive character in Telugu in 1977. I am unable to find out which was his first film as a positive lead in Kannada. His Hindi debut came in 1983 with ‘Andhaa kanoon’.
Rajnikanth is married to Latha Rangachari & has two daughters – Aishwarya & Soundarya- both of whom are connected with the film industry. Aishwarya Rajnikanth is a film director & playback singer while Soundarya is a film producer/ director along with being a graphic designer. Soundarya was the first woman director to direct Rajnikanth in ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ (2014).

The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2016. He was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2019, though he has won only one Filmfare award for best actor in 1984 for a Tamil film, IFFI (International Film Festival of India) conferred on him the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award this year- 2025.

Wish you a very Happy Birthday Rajnisaar (‘Thalaiva’ which translates as ‘leader’ but also used to mean ‘BOSS’). May you continue to entertain your fans. Stay Healthy. 🙂

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2025 is the seventieth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). His music composed for Hindi movies is part of growing years of people like me who were born in late sixties or early seventies. Many of his compositions have been pure nostalgia for me and same might be the case for many people like me. Rajesh Roshan has carved a niche for himself in the history of Hindi Film Music. There is a long list of his compositions that I like very much, and as and when possible I have also shared such songs on this blog.

As students, i.e. during school days, we used to be given an exercise in language class. We would be given a paragraph, story or poetry & asked to read it for a few minutes. There would be a set of questions, at the end of the passage or writeup, that would test how much we have understood what was written. Often the last question would be to give a suitable Title to the writeup. This activity used to be called COMPREHENSION in English, forgive me for not being able to recall what ‘comprehension’ is Hindi & Marathi. These are the three main languages that I learnt in school, that is why I am looking for the word in Hindi & Marathi. Different matter that I learnt Malayalam too in school but I don’t recall having this in my Malayalam question paper.

Carl Sagan, in his book, ‘Pale Blue Dot’ talks about the picture taken by Voyager I before it left the solar system. Planet Earth, the only home we have known so far appears less than a fraction of a pixel in the picture. It’s on this speck of dust like object in the vast cosmos lived every human, plant and animal we ever know and every civilization.

On this planet the greatest men in a wide variety of fields have left behind their legacies both good and bad. Their lives however great or condemnable have been spent here.  In the vastness of time and space, a few years spent by great men may mean nothing. However, the legacy left behind by such men are recognized and appreciated for generations.

“Asli Naqli” that was released in 1986 was directed by Sudarshan Nag. It had a star cast of Shatrughan Sinha- Anita Raaj- Raadhika- Rajnikanth- Amrish Puri- Shakti Kapoor -Ashok Kumar. It had a normal storyline wherein as boy is separated from his wealthy parents in childhood. His parents have only one clue of him- a locket that he is wearing. Upon his father’s death the mother embarks on a mission to trace out her long-lost son with the help of (typically named) Durjan Singh (Amrish Puri). Durjan Singh and his son Shakti Singh (Shakti Kapoor) plant Birju ustaad (Rajnikanth) as the son with the sole motive of plundering the wealthy widow. Then Shatrughan Sinha steps-in and the plot spices up. Further the ladies are there for the song and dance routines. Essentially what this movie had was two superstars with stylised acting and the public had a paisa-vasool feeling. It had a decent run at the box-office.

This is the story of a ‘self-proprietorship firm’ uniquely named ‘Atul Song A Day’ (hereinafter called the Company) which was set up on July 19, 2008 by Atul Besra. In his venture, he received encouragement from Raja, his Cricforum friend. The mission was to produce at least one song a day. However, due to abundant supply of ‘raw material’ and the demand for the ‘finished product’, the production was increased to more than one song a day within 3 months of its existence.

Hullo to all in Atuldom

If November was the month of many Miss Indias-turned- actresses ‘ birthdates then December will be proud to call itself the month of actors who are/were superstars. The list has Dharamendra, Shatrughan SInha, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Govinda, Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan & Rajesh Khanna. (Disclaimer to all those who want to correct this list: I have chosen to mention only those actors who are/were superstars. The anniversary list page on our blog mentions around 24 male birthdays.) Dharamendra turned 80 a few days back; Shatrughan Sinha turned 70; Dilip Saab turned 93 yesterday; Raj Kapoor would have been 91 in 15 days from now; Govinda will turn 52; Anil Kapoor 59; Salman Khan 50 and Rajesh Khanna would have been 73. Phew! Thats a lot of statistics! Let me wish those whose birthdates I missed a very Belated Happy Birthday. {Isn’t that what we do when we miss some friend’s birthday; wish belatedly ;-)}
