    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.

    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 21 (2017) Item Girls and Objects of Dreams: Why Indian Censors Agree to Bold Scenes in Bollywood Films Tatiana Szurlej The article presents the social background, which helped Bollywood film industry to develop the so-called “item numbers”, replace them by “dream sequences”, and come back to the “item number” formula again. The songs performed by the film vamp or the character, who takes no part in the story, the musical interludes, which replaced the first way to show on the screen all elements which are theoretically banned, and the guest appearances of film stars on the screen are a very clever ways to fight all the prohibitions imposed by Indian censors. Censors found that film censorship was necessary, because the film as a medium is much more popular than literature or theater, and therefore has an impact on all people. Indeed, the viewers perceive the screen story as the world around them, so it becomes easy for them to accept the screen reality and move it to everyday life. That’s why the movie, despite the fact that even the very process of its creation is much more conventional than, for example, the theater performance, seems to be much more “real” to the audience than any story shown on the stage. Therefore, despite the fact that one of the most dangerous elements on which Indian censorship seems to be extremely sensitive is eroticism, this is also the most desired part of cinema. Moreover, filmmakers, who are tightly constrained, need at the same time to provide pleasure to the audience to get the invested money back, so they invented various tricks by which they manage to bypass censorship.

    A Cinematic Imagination: Josef Wirsching and The Bombay Talkies Debashree Mukherjee Encounters, Exile, Belonging The story of how Josef Wirsching came to work in Bombay is fascinating and full of meandering details. In brief, it’s a story of creative confluence and, well, serendipity … the right people with the right ideas getting together at the right time. Thus, the theme of encounters – cultural, personal, intermedial – is key to understanding Josef Wirsching’s career and its significance. Born in Munich in 1903, Wirsching experienced all the cultural ferment of the interwar years. Cinema was still a fledgling art form at the time, and was radically influenced by Munich’s robust theatre and photography scene. For example, the Ostermayr brothers (Franz, Peter, Ottmarr) ran a photography studio, studied acting, and worked at Max Reinhardt’s Kammertheater before they turned wholeheartedly to filmmaking. Josef Wirsching himself was slated to take over his father’s costume and set design studios, but had a career epiphany when he was gifted a still camera on his 16th birthday. Against initial family resistance, Josef enrolled in a prestigious 1 industrial arts school to study photography and subsequently joined Weiss-Blau-Film as an apprentice photographer. By the early 1920s, Peter Ostermayr’s Emelka film company had 51 Projects / Processes become a greatly desired destination for young people wanting to make a name in cinema. Josef Wirsching joined Emelka at this time, as did another young man named Alfred Hitchcock. Back in India, at the turn of the century, Indian artists were actively trying to forge an aesthetic language that could be simultaneously nationalist as well as modern.

    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2019-09-25 DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD FOR AMITABH BACHCHAN Relevant for: Pre-Specific GK | Topic: Important Prizes and Related Facts Amitabh Bachchan The country’s highest film honour, the Dadasaheb Phalke award, conferred for “outstanding contribution for the growth and development of Indian cinema” will be presented this year to Amitabh Bachchan. The first intimation of it came via a tweet by Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in which he stated that “The legend Amitabh Bachchan who entertained and inspired for two generations has been selected unanimously for #DadaSahabPhalke award. The entire country and international community is happy. My heartiest congratulations to him. @narendramodi @SrBachchan.” Timely arrival The award, very appropriately comes in the year that marks Mr. Bachchan’s golden jubilee in cinema. He made his debut in 1969 with Khwaja Ahmad Abbas’ Saat Hindustani about seven Indians attempting to liberate Goa from Portuguese colonial rule. The same year he also did the voiceover for Mrinal Sen’s Bhuvan Shome , one of the earliest films of Indian parallel cinema. Interestingly, the Dadasaheb Phalke award itself was first presented in the year of Mr. Bachchan’s debut. It was introduced by the government in 1969 to commemorate the “father of Indian cinema” who directed Raja Harishchandra (1913), India’s first feature film, and it was awarded for the first time to Devika Rani, “the first lady of Indian cinema.” One of the most influential figures in Indian cinema for the past five decades, Mr. Bachchan, with four national awards and 15 Filmfare trophies behind him, has had a many-splendoured stint in the world of entertainment.

    2009 Worlds Beyond Cover Image: Mylapore Gowri Ammal, c. 1930s The revival of Bharata Natyam brought outstanding dancers amongdevadasis - girls who were dedicated to deities - into the limelight. Mylapore Gowri Ammal, who lived during the early twentieth century, was among them. She came from a family of singers and dancers and was a student of Nelluru Munuswamy Nattuvanar as well as of her mother from whom she received elaborate training inabhinaya. Her command over Sanskrit, Telugu and Tamil enabled her to quote from the Shastras while demonstrating aspects of aesthetics relevant to dance.Padams and javalis were Gowri Ammal's speciality, and outstanding amongst her pupils were Balasaraswathi and Rukmini Devi Arundale. Soondarbai Powar, c. 1890s Courtesy: Samudri Archives, Chennai A close friend and companion of Pandita Ramabai - one of India's first women social reformers and probably among the most controversial women of her times - Soondarbai was her right hand at Mukti Sadan, initially an overtly Christian institution. Ramabai's focus on lower-caste victims alienated her further from caste society. Sharada Sadan, the first residential school for widows in Bombay (Mumbai) was started by her in 1889 and after it moved to Poona (Pune), Mukti Sadan was merged with it. The new institution now projected a progressive, secular image. Ramabai expanded activities of this `kingdom of women' to include a school, income-generating activities such as classes for teachers and PHOTOGRAPHS nurses, a weaving centre and even a printing press.

Zahir B. Kureishi aka “Zabak” (Zabak, 1940) Very early into the life of cinema in India it became apparent that this new phenomenon would generate talk. In its affective manifestations, cinema was able to circulate more freely and widely than the physi- cal film object. Fan magazines and tabloids were regularly swamped by letters demanding biographical information about stars. The studios that were associated with these glamorous names became sites of intense speculation and wonder. The film studio was exciting both as an emblem of technological moder- nity and as a thrilling heterosocial work space. This combined excitement can be glimpsed in a descrip- tion of the new Ranjit Studio: “Ah, the new studio—the new Ranjit studio! It is big and beautiful with such perfect acoustics that even if the director tried a tete-a-tete in whispers with the heroine it would all come out on the sound track as distinct as the song of a lark.” (Judas, 1938, p.
  • Saadat Hasan Manto Ashok Kumar

    Saadat Hasan Manto Ashok Kumar

    Ashok Kumar A Najmul Hasan made off with Devika Rani, Bombay Talkies was thrown into complete chaos. Filming had started, a few scenes had even been finished when Najmul Hasan pulled his heroine from the world of celluloid into the real world. But the person who was most distressed and worried at the Talkies was Himanshu Roy—Devika Rani’s husband and the behind-the-scenes brains of the company. In those days S. Mukherjee, brother-in-law of Ashok Kumar and the well-known filmmaker of many popular movies, was an assistant to Mr. Savak Vacha, the sound engineer at the Talkies. Being a Bengali himself he naturally felt for Himanshu Roy. Somehow or other he wanted Devika Rani to come back. So, without consulting Himanshu Roy, he made some efforts on his own and, by using his exceptional tact, he persuaded Devika Rani to fly from the arms of her lover back into the arms of the Talkies, which offered her talent more room to grow. And fly back she did. Then S. Mukherjee used his tact once again and prevailed upon his distraught mentor, Roy, to take her back. Poor Najmul Hasan joined the list of lovers separated from their beloveds by political, religious and capitalist intrigues. He was cut off—with a pair of scissors as it were—from the film and dumped into the wastebasket. This created a problem: who should now be cast opposite the already smitten Devika Rani as her lover on the screen? Himanshu Roy was an exceedingly hardworking filmmaker who pretty much kept to himself and remained quietly absorbed in his work.
