Mahesh Bhatt Salutes Sanjeev Kumar
Mahesh Bhatt’s till-death-do-us-part friendship with the actor par excellence Sanjeev Kumar started with a bouquet. Recalls Mahesh, “The voice of my sister echoes in my memory. ‘Roses! Look, somebody has sent Mahesh roses.’ I was barely 23, and my first film, Manzilein Aur Bhi Hain, was about to release. Sanjeev Kumar, a star of great repute who had locked horns with Dilip Kumar in Sungharsh, sent me that bouquet of roes with a small intimate note. I’ll never forget it: “The takeoff may be delayed, but the flight is certain. Wish you a great career. Love, Sanjeev Kumar.Wh | Click Here...
“Sanjeev Kumar is lying on the floor, curled up like a man in excruciating pain. A howl emanates from his mouth, ‘Mahesh!’….. Mahesh Bhatt On 40 Years Of His Masterpiece Saaransh
40 years since its release, Saaransh, clearly the centrepiece of Mahesh Bhatt’s career, remains relevant and resonant. Says Mahesh, “What Saaransh did was to touch the human experience that has been coursing through the human heart since the dawn of time. All that man loves, he will one day part with. The anguish of losing your loved ones suddenly, and how one copes with that irreparable loss with dignity and grace, without resorting to the tales that religion has crafted to cushion man from the finality of death, is what the film grapples with.

Sharmila Tagore Remembers One Of Her Favourite Co-Stars Sanjeev Kumar On His Birth Anniversary
If the great most effortless Hindi actor Sanjeev Kumar had lived longer he would have been 83 on July 9. “Sadly we lost him so young. Haribhai, that’s what we called Sanjeev Kumar,left us when he was only 47. A heart condition that was genetical—his brothers too died young—could have been controlled if not cured had he lived longer . In those days the medical options were limited. It is sad we lost him to a heart attack. He wasn’t a heavy smoker.And I don’t think drinking damages the heart to that extent,” wonders Shamila Tagore who has done a slew of f | Click Here...
When Nutan Slapped Sanjeev Kumar
The legendary Nutan, considered by many to be THE finest Indian actress of all times, was not happy in her marriage. Husband Ranjish Behl kept tight control over her physical movements. Nutan was not ‘allowed’ to visit friends. Her close friend actress Shubha Khote told me, “I played her best friend in 4 successive films Seema, Anari, Aakhri Dao and Paying Guest. She was very helpful and very generous. And truly an angel. In all the time that I knew her I never ever heard her raise her voice. Softspoken and gentle her voice didn’t rise even when she was angry. We were | Click Here...
When Jeetendra Flew Down To Chennai To ‘Marry’ Hema Malini

But I wanted to marry only one man.” Among the many was the 1960-70s’ star Jeetendra who, accompanied by his parents, | Click Here...
Rewind: Sulakshana Pundit’s Love For Sanjeev Kumar Destroyed Her
Unrequited love can’t get any more frightening than this. Singer-actress Sulakshana Pandit had a budding career in the 1970s. In fact, she was the first singing-star of Hindi cinema since Suraiya.

5 Reasons why Pati Patni Aur Woh is a Winner
1.Because everyone loved the naughty philandering husband which the late (and great) Sanjeev Kumar played in the original Pati Patni Aur Who (PPAW) in 1978. Sanjeev was such a chameleon that he could make the husband look like an innocent victim even while he brazenly cheated on his wife. 2.Because the cheating husband is now played by Kartik Aryan who has in the last one year grown two things: a stubble and a fan-base. Don’t know about the stubble, but everyone from age 3 to 83 like Kartik. I really don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a soft corner for Kartik though some | Click Here...
Director Mudassar Aziz On Pati Patni Aur Woh
Mudassar Aziz who has fashioned interesting romantic comedies in the past such as Happy Bhaag Jayegi and its sequel Happy Phir Bhaag Jayegi has a reason for remaking B R Chopra’s 1978 comic classic Pati Patni Aur Woh. “My father was a big fan of that film. I am a 1990s child. So I missed it on release. But every time it was telecast on Doordarshan my family and I would watch it together. I think it was telecast 7-8 times when I was a child. Therefore remaking that film for me was like a childhood dream, just as making films was a dream that I had from my childhood, even though my | Click Here...
