Smita Patil: Earthy Appeal She represent the feisty Indian women, struggling working class and marginal- ized. She changed the image of poor women on the screen, the women were poor and at times vulnerable but they were steel-strong and can take their destiny in their own hands. WHEN SMITA Patil breathed her last on the midnight of December 13, 1986 at age of 31, Indian cinema lost an amazing actress and she deserves the legend that has been build around her. Her first tryst with the camera was as a television newscaster. Her dusky beauty and large eyes drew attention.

Her dancing eyes and her animated, expressive face which mirrored her soul were her most out- standing features. Yet life was snatched away from this vibrant personality at an achingly young age of 35. Geeta, who was born Harikirtan Kaur In Amritsar and had done a few small-time dancing roles in pre-Partition Punjab in films like Badnami. At last fortune smiled. Actor Mazhar Khan spotted her in a Lahore studio and asked her to came to Bombay. She was soon to meet star-maker Kidar Sharma. Sharma cast Geeta in his superhit Suhaag Raat (1948) and with films like Bawre Nain, Anand Math, Baaz, Albela and Baazi , She became a major star in 1950s. Famously down-to-earth despite her star status, Geeta was the antithesis of the coy 1950s' heroine. She often drove herself to her premieres in an open jeep. Those who knew her claim she was a Samaritan who touched the lives of whoever she met. Sadly, Geeta Bali passed away on January 21, 1965. tragedy struck when on an outdoor shooting in Punjab she contracted smallpox. “Among her contemporaries, Meena Kumari has the most unique voice. No other heroine has it and Geeta Bali is a sheer delight to watch.” - Madhubala Madhubala; Venus of Indian Screen Never a star so correctly named as is Madhubala, which literally means “Honey Vimi;Belle”.

After Mughal-e-Azam, the best of times ironically coincided with the worst of times for Madhubala. She could have had the best of roles but was advised not to overwork and exert herself.

It is rally interesting throgh studying time period. I discovered this book from my i and dad suggested this ebook to find out. (Isobel Bailey) DISCLAIMER | DMCA UVDZNEN2XA5K / Book ^ I Want to Live: The Story of Madhubala I WANT TO LIVE: THE STORY OF MADHUBALA Hay House, 2017. So cover. Condition: New. 256pp. The riveting saga of the Venus of the Indian screen studded with rare and fascinating nuggets of information that throw new light not only on the life and times of Madhubala but also on the Golden Era of Hindi cinema and the dramatis personae involved The very mention of Madhubala (born on St. Valentines Day, 14 February 1933) conjures up a vivid image of a love goddess possessing bewitching beauty, dazzling radiance, subtle sensuality, and, above all, a tantalizing screen presence. Her histrionic performances held (and continue to hold) audiences/viewers entranced.Her talent was phenomenal and she could literally glide through a movie, whatever be the role. She could convey an impressive array of emotions with her eloquent eyes and nuanced expressions without resorting to melodramatic facial contortions. Tragedy, romance, comedy, drama and what have you ? she could take everything in her stride, exquisitely and flawlessly, as convincingly proved by superhits such as Mahal, Tarana, Mr. and Mrs. 55, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and the magnum opus, Mughal-e-Azam.The author, on the basis of extensive research and interviews with many of those who interacted with Madhubala (who mostly remained elusive), presents a spectacular panorama not only of the reel-life actress but also of the real-life human being, who was extremely caring and compassionate, but lived in the shadow of her dominating father.

  • Ashoke Kumar
    Ashoke Kumar The boss's wife and leading actress of a leading Film Company runs off with her lead man. She is caught and taken back but not the lead man who is unceremoniously dismissed. So now the company needs a new hero. The boss decides his laboratory assistant would be the Film Company's next leading man. A bizzare film plot??? Hardly. This real life story starred the Bombay Talkies Film Company, it's boss Himansu Rai , lead actress Devika Rani and lead man Najam-ul-Hussain and last but not least its laboratory assistant Ashok Kumar. And thus began an extremely successful acting career that lasted six decades! Ashok Kumar aka Dadamoni was born Kumudlal Kunjilal Ganguly in Bhagalpur and grew up in Khandwa. He briefly studied law in Calcutta, then joined his future brother-in-law Shashadhar Mukherjee at Bombay Talkies as laboratory assistant before being made its leading man. Ashok Kumar made his debut opposite Devika Rani in Jeevan Naiya (1936) but became a well known face with Achut Kanya (1936) . Devika Rani and he did a string of films together - Izzat (1937) , Savitri (1937) , Nirmala (1938) among others but she was the bigger star and chief attraction in all those films. It was with his trio of hits opposite Leela Chitnis - Kangan (1939) , Bandhan (1940) and Jhoola (1941) that Ashok Kumar really came into his own. Going with the trend he sang his own songs and some of them like Main Ban ki Chidiya , Chal Chal re Naujawaan and Na Jaane Kidhar Aaj Meri Nao Chali Re were extremely popular! Ashok Kumar initiated a more natural style of acting compared to the prevaling style that followed theatrical trends.

But in the performing arts, especially acting, women artists were found in large numbers in this period. At first they acted on the stage in theatre groups. Later, with the coming of cinema, they began to act for the screen. Cinema gave them a channel for expressing their acting talent as no other medium had before. Apart from acting, some of them even began to direct films at this early stage in the history of Indian cinema. Thus, acting and film direction was not an exclusive arena of men where women were mostly subjects. It was an arena where women became the creators of this art form and they commanded a lot of fame, glory and money in this field. In this module, we will study about some of these women.

  • Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music by Ashwini Kumar Rath
    Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music By Ashwini Kumar Rath Shankar Jaikishan music, synonym of Indian Film music, has far reaching impact in India and outside. The duo moulded music and musical mood of masses since 1949, and are still considered to be the best music composers from India. The duo also contributed outside movie industry with their much celebrated album Raga in Jazz Style, and background music for documentary Everest expedition among many others. If we look at the popular impact by any personalities in the field of music during the post-independence period in India, the obvious choice is Shankar Jaikishan. Shankar, the more versatile of the two, was a prolific musician with mastery over dozens of instruments, Indian classical music and dance forms. He was primarily responsible for building Shankar Jaikishan team with dedicated lyricists, music assistants, and jumbo-sized 60-pieces orchestra, and was the lead composer. On the other hand, Jaikishan was incredibly creative and legendary composer himself. He was genius of background music and romantic tunes though he too could compose songs in other genres. While Shankar's musical jhankar propels divine dwellers to zoom in unison with ecstasy, romantic effervescence of Jaikishan music brings divine feelings on to earth. During initial years, all decisions about musical engagements were made by Shankar; but both started taking up assignments separately in the late sixties. They had sharp contrasts in personalities and physical appearances. Shankar was gym-savvy, non- drinker, and was a strict disciplinarian. On the other hand, Jaikishan was party-man and was very social.
