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.

Greetings on the occasion of Maha Shivratri which is being celebrated today (26 February 2025).

In Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, there is a small village called Khidrapur located close to Karnataka border. The village has an ancient Shiva temple known as Kopeshwar temple at the shore of River Krishna. I had visited Kopeshwar temple in October 2014 which is about 40 kms south of Sangli. There were no other visitors as this temple is not well-known. The temple priest told me that during Maha Shivratri and Navaratri, devotees from adjoining villages and the neighbouring districts visit the temple in large numbers.

To start with I would have sent a song to remember the legend Mohd Rafi on his 100th Birth anniversary. But after reading all the posts of the day on the blog, I am sure that I cannot do better than what is already said. I have been listening to songs of the legend since morning today.

Remembering Nirmala Nagpal today on her birth anniversary. She was born in Mumbai (Bombay back then) on 22nd November 1948. That gives us an idea that she must have been hardly 9 or 10 years of age when she danced in the chorus of the famous club-scene songs of “Howrah Bridge” (1958). She was just 3 years when she appeared in some films as baby Shyama & was a background (chorus) dancer in the late 1950s. She was all of 13 (not unusual for those times, I think) when she married the much-married & father of four -B. Sohanlal- a popular choreographer of that period. The couple separated in a few years but not before she had borne three children. Later, she married a businessman Sardar Roshan Khan, adopted Islam & changed her name to Saroj Khan – a name that gave her work & fame and was known by till she passed away on 3rd July 2020; due to cardiac arrest.

About a decade ago, I had watched a Marathi film, ‘Katyaar Kaljat Ghusali’ (2015) in the very first week when it was released in a multiplex. The literal meaning of the film’s title in English is ‘a dagger speared the heart’. It was near houseful crowd with an overwhelming majority being senior citizens. Probably, most of them may have watched the play in the theatre during their younger days and they may be curious to watch in the cinematic form. The film still lingers in my mind, and I have watched all its songs umpteen times. It is one of the recent viewing of the songs from the film that has prompted me to write this article.
