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.

Meena Kumari - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Meena Kumari - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Meena Kumari(1 August 1932 - 31 March 1972) Meena Kumari (Hindi: ???? ??????), born Mahjabeen Bano, was an Indian movie actress and poetess. She is regarded as one of the most prominent actresses to have appeared on the screens of Hindi Cinema. During a career spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than ninety films, many of which have achieved classic and cult status today. Kumari gained a reputation for playing grief-stricken and tragic roles, and her performances have been praised and reminisced throughout the years. Like one of her best-known roles, Chhoti Bahu, in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Kumari became addicted to alcohol. Her life and prosperous career were marred by heavy drinking, troubled relationships, an ensuing deteriorating health, and her death from liver cirrhosis in 1972. Kumari is often cited by media and literary sources as "The Tragedy Queen", both for her frequent portrayal of sorrowful and dramatic roles in her films and her real-life story. <b> Early Life </b> Meena Kumari was the third daughter of Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum; Khursheed and Madhu were her two elder sisters. At the time of her birth, her parents were unable to pay the fees of Dr. Gadre, who had delivered her, so her father left her at a Muslim orphanage, however, he picked her up after a few hours. Her father, a Shia Muslim, was a veteran of Parsi theater, played harmonium, taught music, and wrote Urdu poetry.

Reel Number 13
Reel Number 13 Gayathri Prabhu and Nikhil Govind (from Shadow Craft: Visual Aesthetics of Black and White Hindi Cinema, Bloomsbury Academic, 2021) Meena Kumari in Abrar Alvi’s Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) Source: National Film Archive of India The decision to write this book emerged from our artistic and academic trajectories intersecting over the question of how to develop a vocabulary to speak about the visual aesthetics of a cinema that had left an indelible imprint on the infancy of the nation. The same aesthetics made its presence felt in the terrain of our childhoods in the 1980s when these movies and film-makers continued to be celebrated in popular culture via reruns on television and cassettes played on VHS (Video Home Systems). Kamal Amrohi, Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Ashok Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, Nargis, Nutan and Abrar Alvi, came to represent a wistfully exhumed cinematic footprint. More recently, the iconic black-white- grey images from that time, stark to our colour-biased internet-weary eyes, reminded us that perhaps we had not given sufficient thought to what those assertive visual articulations represented to a collective consciousness that had shaped several decades of artists and viewers in India. The irony of this preoccupation with visual form, at a time when our engagement with the format was as far removed as possible from the original format of the cinema (35 mm), was not lost on us. Even though neither of us was born at the time of the films’ first theatrical release, our viewings were from television telecasts and cassettes played at home—for me it was the highlight of summer vacations in Mangalore (with gratitude to that archaic institution called the video rental library) and for Nikhil Govind these were viewings during school years in Burma (he wonders if the films were smuggled/pirated).
