SAMPLE Nim REVIEWS IK ENGLISH Agjpendix 1 Fiagnu on Tha Uarpath SAMPLE niM REVIEWS IK ENGLISH Agjpendix 1 Fiagnu on tha Uarpath It's Leila Majnu time on the sands of Goa (or is it Ualtair?), Kamal Hassan and Rati Agnihotri do the fever and the fret routine uith gusto in L.U.Prasad's "Ek Duuje Ke liye" (Dir.K.Balachander), Only this najnu is a bit aggressive and instead of tearing his shirt in agony, bares his chest in anger to do a classical Siva's danca of destruction. Fresh faces and bodies all the same. A much required rest from the dreary routine of the regular circus performers. Rati is bouncy, a rather peasant lass type but uatchable. I hope the playful Punjabi punch she landed in Kamal's solar plexus didn't do much damage. Kamal is too smooth (the moustache is a bit rabbity) but has an intensity matched only by Nasseeruddin Shah, The plot is a re-hash of the usual North v. South Comic routine(remembBr 'Neu Delhi' of yore?).. Rati plays a "North Indian" girl Sapna (area unspecified) and Kamal Uasu a "nadrassi". They meet in Goa, frolic on the beeches but the heavy parental hand comes doun before things go further. After the initial hyderics at the thought of a Hindi-Tamil bond, the parents settle doun to an agreement - the boy and the girl to remain apart for a year and then marry if the flame still burns bright and true. -371- So Uasu emigrates to Hyderabad uhere he is instructed in Hindi and Kathak by an attractive young uidou (Madhavi). A visit to bangalore leads to complications, Uasu comes to believe that Sapna is about to marry a young man from Lucknow (Rakesh Bedi), On the rebound he proposes to the uidou and is accepted. The plot takes another turn. The uidou discovers that Sapna is still uaiting for Uasu. She cancels the marriage, sends Uasu packing to Goa, The Uidou's brother plans Uasu's murder uhich takes place by uncanny chance at the very spot uhere Sapna jumps off a building to escape rape at the hands of an urgent admirer. The lovers are united in|an overlong pre-death ecstasy. The first half is easy on the eye and the ear. The jokes and the situations are conventional but there is a freshness about the pair and about the uay the land-scape ls« is evoked that puts you in a forgiving mood, A feu of the songs - Lata, S,P,Bala3Ubramaniam and Anup 3alata - are good and hummable. But the trouble uith mainstream Tamil/Telup(gu productions and their Hindi versions is that they don't knou uhere to stop. The linguistic quarrels go on and on, the lovers' death scene is so prolonged, you long to sayl Go on, get over uith it. Besides Rati and Kamal, nadhavi does very uell-liquid eyes, sensuous figure (could do uith a loss of a feu pounds, though) Poornam Uisuanathan and Arvind Deshpande are good. - 371 Lokanath's photography is good too but here again he doesn't knou uhere to stop. There is a lov/ely shot towards the end of the film of a lone boat on the beach uith the waves rolling up gently. But he has to go on to the red blood dying (or rising?) sun to hammer in the itieaning. If it had shed the typical extravagance, and crude metaphor of its origin, this might have been a good film. As it is, it remains uatchable, - Indian Express, July 1981 Naseeb Produced and directed by POanmohan Desai; photography: 3al nistry, nusic: Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Cast: Amitabh Bachehan, Rishi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema nalini, Kim, Reena Roy, Pran, Amjad Khan» Stop Thinking Before you say 'Deck' you can see 'Dill' come 'tumbling after'. You didn't see them going up the hill but you sau them coming doun - that is P'lanmohan Desai's kind of cinema. He does not bother about the '3Us" (Why, When, Uhere), he strives for mind boggling pace, and never mind logic. And it is only uith a willing suspension of disbelief that you can sit through his films, especially his latest, "Naseeb", Desai's forte is the lost-and-found theme. In fact, he was the one who found it. And he is able to infuse a lot of energy into routine proceedings as he did earlier in "Amar Akbar Anthony". He did not quite succeed uith "Suhaag" but is nou back inlhis element. 373 Desai has very cleverly modified what is by nou an overplayed theme, giving it longer life. For example, the uhole boring process of children and parents getting separated is dispensed uith very fast - the details are glossed over quickly, treated as something to be taken for granted. And as a uelcome change the annoying and inevitable 'mother', so very important to these films, is underplayed. Also, uithin a short time a dozen characters are introduced and the proceedings get so complicated the only way out is to stop thinking about uho is uho„ In any case the director himself does not seem very interested in a formal story, or in investing the goings- on uith some semblance of credibility. For Hanmohan Desai the moment is all important and to make it live and interesting he does everything possible even if it means a ridiculous or illogical tuist. He utilises frenetic cutting and dizzy camera movements to keep things on the move. Though even in this exercise he does falter towards the end when all the heroes and heroines gather forces to fight the villains - in contrast to the rest of the film, this is long draun-out and dreary. Unlike directors of many other multi-starrers, Desai develops characters to a large extent - they do not remain mere decorative pieces. He also avoids the use of r excessive ketchup and exposure to tiers of flesh. The absence of loud-mouthed comedians is refreshing. Laughs are inherent in situations though there is excessive slapstick - the kitchen scene uhen marbles are strewn all over is over-played and the scene ir^ondon uhen a man is forced to wear a bikini isn't inventive at all. - 3 74- The song sequences are handled uith a lot of uerve and energy. The boxing scenes, patently borrowed, are done well. The performances are generally competent, tuo that stand out being those of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor. Amitabh may be a very versatile actor but his real forte, as seen here again, are light roles aglou uith humour, Rishi Kapoor is an under-rated actor - here he is able to match strides uith Amitabh uith ease, "Naseeb" seems to say that entertainment is only possible by defying all logic - undoubtedly a cockeyed notion. Also, escapism may be a necessary ingredient to a majority of our audiences but then you certainly can escape within the realms of common sense and logic, - Arun Kumar T,R - Filmfare, June 1981 Alaiqal Oaivadhillai Director Bharathirajaa gains much of the lost ground by of his adroit handling a caste dominated love story in Pavalar » II Creations, Alaigal Oaivadhillai, As the plot is about the love affair of a rich Christian girl and a Brahmin youth, the director treads uith caution putting his experience and maturity to good use uithout casting aspersions on any caste, a trait uith some of the directors in recent years. - 375- The director slowly breaks the caste barrier betueen the tuo young hearts through little incidents, sometimes playful, sometimes disturbing and also establishes the fact that their lov/e is more than mere physical attraction, a lasting bondage based on mutual respect for each other's feelings. Even uhen the girl is put to pain by her elder brother, a rich influential man of the locality, she is unruffled saying as long as Uichu (her lover) is in my heart nothing can hurt me. In a caste-conscious locality it looks strange that the the boys go scotfree after teasing the girls having their bath in a river. The other jarring note is the scene where Mary's brother seduces the servant maid thereby casting a slur on the character itself. It may be the turning point which forces his wife to muster courage to encourage Hary but the director could have developed other suitable situations to meet this end. The two young faces Karthik(\iichu)- son of film star Ruthuraman - and Radha(Mary) live up to the director's expectations, essaying their roles without any blemish. They make an ideal pair acting naturally. But the palm of acting goes to Kamala Kamalesh as the emaciated poor Brahmin mother of Uichu. She is the right choice to capture the anguish of a hapless mother threatened by the all powerful man of the locality. - 37G - Thiagarajan as Mary's brother could have been a little restrained.Hanif as the priest, uho finds a solution when the whole Christian community rises as one man against the alliance, Smitha as Mary's sister-in-lau(a fairly good uork in an important role), Rangarajan as the servant and Renu Chandra as his uife, provide the needed support, ELayaraja's music (the LP has already been reviewed in these columns)is sueet and rich, B Kannan's(Bhim Singh's son) photography is one of the main contributions for the movie's success. He may get an award or two for his job. The film is on show at Alankar, Ega and Sri Krishna, - Hindu, Duly 1981 A Gawky Debut Rocky - Directed by Sunil Dutt Starring: Sunjay Dutt, Tina Munim, Raakhee, Amjad Khan, Reena Ro/^y.

    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

It is surprisingly related today. The main theme of Shakespeare’s work is ‘LOVE’- ‘the blind fool’. He indirectly acknowledges there may be obstacles in true love and urges to marry with true ‘mind’ rather than merely two people. This love is a bold subject matter that has always lacked rules and always attracts controversy - specially within the strict norms of Asian Culture. These various challenges and obstacles make multistory-love-complex silently. Cinema woos audiences by offering this emotion. Modern Indian Cineme is already an indestructible massive field of art work which has been successfully taken the extract of the Shakespearean drama to serve the common. The literary works of Shakespeare reinvigorate uncountable people of the world. The unique excellence of Bard’s ‘violent delights’ and ‘violent ends’; excessive passion and love full of zeal; jealousy and romance; greed for empowerment and assassination; laughter and satire; aesthetic sensibility and of course the plot construction both in comedy and tragedy- are all time favourite to Bollywood screen.

  • Chapter Three Mehta‟S Fire and Pullappally‟S Sancharram
    Chapter Three Mehta‟s Fire and Pullappally‟s Sancharram This chapter offers a semiotic analysis of Mehta‟s Fire and Ligy Pullappally‟s Sancharram. Both films deal with female same sex love. As mentioned earlier, this criterion is used to club these films, in this chapter for the structural convenience. No exclusive comparative analysis is aimed at in this chapter. Fire 3.1. Introduction Fire was the first transnational film commercially released at movie theaters in various cities across India. The film was always described through the euphemisms „bold‟, „sumptuous‟, „unconventional‟ and not „lesbian‟ or „homosexual‟. However, most of the criticism that followed its release in India mainly poured out of the undesirability of and the protest against sexual intimacy between two „Indian‟ „Hindu‟ „middle-class‟ „married‟ „women‟ „in kinship‟ that too, by a „Westernised‟ Non Residential Indian film maker, „who lacks an understanding of family life and emotional bonds in India‟ (Kishwar, 1998:03, Ghosh 2008). Sujata Moorti mentions that „it is the specificity of Mehta‟s Western locus of enunciation that has evoked the ire of the religious right. Rather than presenting nostalgia for home, Mehta raises issues that criticize tradition‟ (2000 n.p.). The act of physical intimacy is not perceived merely as a contact of two female bodies. The bodies become territorialized with inscription of nationality, in being Indian (defined by borders) of religion, in being Hindu, probably upper caste and of kinship, in being sisters-in-law. Hence, the act of physical intimacy does not remain just a contact between two female bodies. Many critics describe Fire as the story of “the two unhappy housewives compelled [Researcher‟s emphasis] to seek emotional and sexual satisfaction from each other because their husbands provide none.” (Kishwar, 1998: 3) The film was a political statement of a feminist film maker against an oppressive patriarchal culture.

    Bobbytalkscinema.Com Responses/ Comments on “100 Best Performances of Hindi Cinema” in the year 2009-10-11. submitted on 13 October 2009 bollywooddeewana bollywooddeewana.blogspot.com/ I can't help but feel you left out some important people, how about Manoj Kumar in Upkar or Shaheed (i haven't seen that) but he always made strong nationalistic movies rather than Sunny in Deol in Damini Meenakshi Sheshadri's performance in that film was great too, such a pity she didn't even earn a filmfare nomination for her performance, its said to be the reason on why she quit acting Also you left out Shammi Kappor (Junglee, Teesri MANZIL ETC), shammi oozed total energy and is one of my favourite actors from 60's bollywood Rati Agnihotri in Ek duuje ke Liye Mala Sinha in Aankhen Suchitra Sen in Aandhi Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi Ashok Kumar in Mahal Mumtaz in Khilona Reena Roy in Nagin/aasha Sharmila in Aradhana Rajendra Kuamr in Kanoon Time wouldn't permit me to list all the other memorable ones, which is why i can never make a list like this bobbysing submitted on 13 October 2009 Hi, As I mentioned in my post, you are right that I may have missed out many important acts. And yes, I admit that out of the many names mentioned, some of them surely deserve a place among the best. So I have made some changes in the list as per your valuable suggestion. Manoj Kumar in Shaheed (Now Inlcuded in the Main 100) Meenakshi Sheshadri in Damini (Now Included in the Main 100) Shammi Kapoor in Teesri Manzil (Now Included in the Main 100) Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sharmila Togore in Aradhana (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sunny Deol in Damini (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Mehmood in Pyar Kiye Ja (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Nagarjun in Shiva (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) I hope you will approve the changes made as per your suggestions.

  • Playback Singers of Bollywood and Hollywood
    ILLUSION AND REALITY: PLAYBACK SINGERS OF BOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD By MYRNA JUNE LAYTON Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject MUSICOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA. SUPERVISOR: PROF. M. DUBY JANUARY 2013 Student number: 4202027-1 I declare that ILLUSION AND REALITY: PLAYBACK SINGERS OF BOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE DATE (MRS M LAYTON) Preface I would like to thank the two supervisors who worked with me at UNISA, Marie Jorritsma who got me started on my reading and writing, and Marc Duby, who saw me through to the end. Marni Nixon was most helpful to me, willing to talk with me and discuss her experiences recording songs for Hollywood studios. It was much more difficult to locate people who work in the Bollywood film industry, but two people were helpful and willing to talk to me; Craig Pruess and Deepa Nair have been very gracious about corresponding with me via email. Lastly, putting the whole document together, which seemed an overwhelming chore, was made much easier because of the expert formatting and editing of my daughter Nancy Heiss, sometimes assisted by her husband Andrew Heiss. Joe Bonyata, a good friend who also happens to be an editor and publisher, did a final read-through to look for small details I might have missed, and of course, he found plenty. For this I am grateful.
