Will Rekha Bhardwaj come to limelight in 2010?

Will Rekha Bhardwaj come to limelight in 2010?

Rekha Bhardwaj, the wife of notable composer Vishal Bhardwaj, had stolen the show with her rusty voice in 2009, by singing the biggest hit of the year “genda phool” in the film Dilli 6, composed by AR Rehman for which she received the filmfare award for best singer in 2010. Music-lovers wonder whether she can continue the successful run and steal the show in 2010 also.

She released her first album in 2004 titled “Ishqa Ishqa” which was appreciated by the critics. The notable song in that album included “raat ki jogan”. She stormed bollywood with the song “namak” written by Gulzar and composed by Vishal in the film Omkara. From there she never looked back.

Her other notable song in contemporary films included “ehi thaiyaa motiya” in the film Laga Chunari Me Daag, composed by Shantanu Moitra. The film did not do great business, but the song was hit. Her songs “ranaji” and “beedo” in the film Gulaal appealed to the masses. Her rusty voice was well used by composer Piyush Mishra.

Her song in the hit film 2009 Kaminey, had been hummed by many individuals, titled “raat ke dhai baje”, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj. In 2010, her song in the film Ishqiya also became big hit. The songs “ab mujhe koi” and “badi dheere jail” also became sensational hit. The music had been composed by Vishal Bhardwaj.

In the film Veer, her song “kanha” also became a big hit. The music had been composed by Sajid Wajid. Although the film did mediocre business, her song was well received by the audience. She hasan important role to play in the success of the film Raavan with her song.

If she can continue the good work and bring more variety in singing there a huge scope of shining and doing well in future.

Is Sunidhi Chauhan still in a dominating position in bollywood music?

Is Sunidhi Chauhan still in a dominating position in bollywood music?

Very strangely the world of bollywood singers had got more competitive and diversified. Few years back the contest for the top female playback singer was between Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Alisha Chinoy, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal.

Sunidhi Chauhan, born on August 14th, 1983, stormed bollywood music with her brilliant performance in the song “ruki ruki si zindagi” in Ram Gopal Verma’s film Mast. Her powerful westernized intonation and presentation had created an interest in most composers to cast her in westernized songs and also folk songs.

She made her presence strongly felt in songs like “desi girl” in Dostana, composed by Vishal Shekhar, “race sanson ki” in Race, composed by Pritam, “dance pe chance” in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, composed by Salim Sulaiman, “kaisi peheli” in Parineeta, composed by Shantonu Moitra, to name a few. She got nominations for the best female singer in filmfare awards a number of times.

She won the filmfare award for the best female playback singer in the film Omkara, for the song “beeri jalaile”. But the scenario had changed in the last couple of years. Along with the dominance of ace singers like Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, Alisha Chinoy and others, new female singers had entered the competitive scenario.

The most popular songs of 2009, had been “genda phool” sung by Rekha Bharadwaj from film Dilli 6, composed by AR Rehman, and “iktaara” sung by Kavita Seth from film Wake Up Sid, composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, creating a new trend in recent times. In addition to that, other singers like Mahalakshmi Iyer, Shilpa Rao, had created stiff competition for the already established singers like Sunidhi Chauhan.

The question that hovers in the minds of music lovers that is Sunidhi Chauhan safe at her dominating position in 2010, when upcoming singers had divided the singing scenario into more compartments. Recently Sunidhi Chauhan had been judging Indian idol contestants with Anu Malik and Salim Merchant herself. She herself is also looking for new voices. Time will tell, when Sunidhi Chauhan can keep up her good work and strong presence felt in bollywood films.

Happy birthday to Pooja Bedi

Happy birthday to Pooja Bedi.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Pooja Bedi, the daughter of legendary actor Kabir Bedi on 11th May, 2010. She was born in a star family with her mother Pratima Bedi being a classical dancerand father being an established actor. Although she came from an acting family as Kabir Bedi had experience of performing in Hollywood films as well, her contribution in bollywood films had not been that substantial.

Her film Vishkanya in the early part of her career was based on the story related to snakes. In Indian films fantasies based on the life of snakes had amazed the viewers in the past. The film Nagin in the mid-70s, with Reena Roy, Jeetender, Mumtaz and others, did fantastic business. So Pooja Bedi was lucky to start her career with such films.

Later on her film with Amir Khan, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, did fantastic business. The film was based on teenage romance. Amir Khan always had a special place in the minds of viewers as his romantic appeal always attracted the female audience right from the release of the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Pooja Bedi probably had given her best. Pooja Bedi’s role of a teenage girl did fit the requirement of the story and the film. All the songs in the film became successful including the song “pehla nasha, pehla khumar” sung by Udit Narayan.

Her other notable films included Aatank Hi Aatank and Lootere. She was very impressive in Mahesh Bhatt’s film Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Ayee. It was a film related to human relationship and Pooja Bedi’s performance in a supporting role was appreciated by the critics. She was as impressive as Pooja Bhatt and Rahul Roy in the film.

In the late 90s, all of a sudden she faded away from the industry. But she continued to appear in television shows. She was the anchor of the TV shows Not Just Page 3 and Just Pooja in Zoom TV. These programs became very popular in the years when they were telecast. In the following period she even participated as contestant in TV shows like Jhalak Dikhlaja in Sony TV, Heart Beat, Mum Tum or Hum, Jodi Kamaal Ki, Nach Baliye, etc., in Star TV, also Fear Factor – Khatron Ki Khiladi in Colors.

The viewers expect her make a comeback in bollywood films in the years to come.

Asitboron had impressive screen presence in Bengali films.

Asitboron had impressive screen presence in Bengali films.

Asitboron was the established Bengali star of the golden age, namely the 40s and 50s, whom Uttam Kumar surpassed and became a super star. An actor of more than 100 film, he had an impressive screen presence.

Born in 1913, he learned tabla lessons from renowned singer and composer Gyan Prokash Ghosh. He was noticed by actor Pahari Sanyal while performing in All In Radio and was given opportunity in Hemchandra Chandra’s film Pratisruti in 1941.

He played notable roles in the late 40s and early 50s. His successful films included Jaideb opposite Anubha Gupta, Kar Pape opposite Manju Dey, Nay Dondo opposite Arundhuti Debi. In Kar Pape he played the role of patient suffering from the disease of syphilis who married Manju Dey against the wishes of the doctor Chabi Biswas who advised him not to marry before he got absolutely cured. When Manju Dey got infected with syphilis and her children also died she fired Asit Boron at the end of the film when he was preparing for another marriage. The film created sensation in early 50s.

Asit Boron played the notable role of Mathur in the film Rani Rasmani. He was the son in law of Malina Debi in the film who never believed in God. But Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramhanshadeb’s appearance changed his mind set. Malina Debi and Gurudas Bandhopadhyay’s spirited performance was balanced by Asit Boron’s smart performance. In Uttam Kumar’s film Khokababur Protyaborton, Asit Boron played the role of the Judge, whose son was lost by Uttam Kumar, the servant of the house, who sacrificed his own son in the film. It was Tagore’s classic literature which moved the audience. Ex-Chief Public Prosecutor, Bankshall Court (CMM Court),(North) Chitta Ranjan Chatterji, in an interview before Ananda Bazar Patrika mentioned that Asit Boron and Manju Dey came to Birpara and BK Paul Ground to play tennis in the early 50s, aside the lake where the Metro Railway from Dum Dum Station had been build. That showed the extra-curricular talents of the romantic actors who had huge fanbase during the 50s and 60s.

Asit Boron was professional singer and tabla player and all those skills were exhibited in the role of hero in the films of 50s and 60s. He played notable roles opposite Suchitra Sen in the film Sriti Tuku Thak and Shilpi, opposite Mala Sinha in Bandhu, Sandharani in the film Brotocharini, to name a few. Besides he played landmark roles in historical films like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Antony Firingi, etc. In Antony Firingi he played the role of Bhola Moira, who contested against Uttam Kumar in the kabir larai, war between poets. He provided elegant performances in the films of other heroes, like Bosonto Choudhury’s Bodhu and Shreyasi, Nirmal Kumar’s Kono Ek Din, Uttam Kumar’s Surjo Toron, to name a few.

At the frag end of his career he showed his potentiality in Tapan Sinha’s film Harmonium. He was zamindar in the film whose harmonium was sold by his daughter and changed different hands and returned back to the daughter played by Arundhuti Debi. He commanded respect from the film community under his nickname “kaloda”. His films and songs should be preserved.

P.S. How was your weekend??? 

More on mine soon:-)

Prince had done average business.

Prince had done average business.

Kookie V. Gulati’s film Prince had done average business in the last three weeks after being released in early April, 2010. It had been produced by Kumar S. Taurani and music had been composed by Sachin Gupta.

In the film Vivek Oberoi played the role of a great thief. He realized one morning that he had a gunshot wound in his hand which he could not remember from where he had got it. He came to know that his name was Prince. He worked for a person named Sarang played by Isaiah. His girlfriend’s name was Maya, played by Aruna Shields.

Vivek Oberoi was wanted by Indian intelligence agency called IGRIP who dealt with white collar criminals across the world. He met a new girl everyday who claimed herself to be Maya. He had also hidden a heist which he never remembered. He had six days to solve the problem. The film revolved around that theme.

Although Vivek Oberoi had taken exceptional stunts and his performance in the film had been excellent, the Indian viewers had not received the film with that much enthusiasm. In the last 5 years, very few action films had done exceptional business, and that too under big banners, like Abbas Mastan’s film Race, are the ones which brought great revenue. Last year Vivek Oberoi’s matured performance in the film Kurbaan also could not revive the box-office of the film, inspite of the story being interesting.

The songs like “oh mere khuda” and “aa bhi jaa sanam” sung by Atif Aslam was well received by the audience. But save them, the music also could not create sensation. All these factors contributed to the average business of the film.

Bollywood industry is looking forward to the upcoming releases like Rajneeti, Guzaarish, Kites, Ravan, etc. , which can change the fortune of the industry. In the first four months of the year none of the films created any sensation. Let us hope the films to be released later on in the year would be successful.

Contribution of C. Ramchandra in bollywood films.

Contribution of C. Ramchandran in bollywood films.

C. Ramchandran glorified bollywood films of the 50s and 60s with his innovative music. Born in 1918, in Puntumba town of Ahmadnagar District of Maharashtra, he studied music under Vinayakbua Patwardhan at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya.

He acted in bollywood films like Naganand, Saeed-e – Havas and Atma Tarang in the late 40s. He independently composed music in Tamil films like Jayakkodi and Vanamohini. As far as bollywood films were concerned he got break in Bhagwandada’s film Sukhi Jeevan. His biggest hit with Bhagwan came in the film Albela in 1951. All the songs in the film became super hit including “bholi surat dil ke khote”, “shola jo bharke”, “dheere se aja”, etc.

In the mid-50s, Anarkali was the greatest hit music composed by C. Ramchandran in his entire career. Lata’s song “yeh zindagi usi ki hai” stormed bollywood with Bina Roy and Pradeep Kumar becoming immortal in the roles of Anarkali and Salim respectively. In the mid-50s, C. Ramchandran’s music in Dilip Kumar Meena Kumari’s film Azad became super hit. The landmark songs included “aaplam chaplam” sung by Lata and Usha Mangeshkar, “dekhoji bahar ayi” sung by Lata, to name a few.

C. Ramchandran’s music in Dev Anand’s film Amardeep became super hit in 1958. Rafi and Asha’s duet song “dekh hume awaaz na dena” became super hit along with Lata’s song “mera manka bhawra panchi”. C. Ramchandran was probably at his best in the film Navrang released in 1959. Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle’s duet “adha hai chandrama raat aadhi”, “aare jaare natkhat na chu re mera ghoonghat”, became everlasting classic. Manna Dey’s duet song with Asha Bhosle titled “tu chupi hai kahan” became another super hit song from the same film.

The other hit films where C. Ramchandran composed landmark tunes included Raj Kapoor’s Sharda in 1957, and Dev Anand’s Baarish in 1957. His music in Kishore Kumar’s film Asha also stormed bollywood in late 50s.

C. Ramchandran was also known for the immortal tune for Lata’s song “aye mere watan ke logon” written by poet Pradeep. It had remained as one of the most landmark songs related to India’s freedom struggle movement which brought tears in the eyes of Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1963, when sung during Republic Day by Lata. In the 60s, C. Ramchandran’s music in Feroz Khan’s film Oonche Log stormed bollywood with Rafi’s hit song “jag dil-e diwana ruth jaage”. It is not possible to highlight the contribution of C. Ramchandran in a small article as he composed music in more than 100 films in a span of 40 years. With the dominance of Shankar Jaikishan and OP Nayyar in the 60s, C. Ramchandran gradually faded away from the industry. But his hit music in films like Anarkali, Amardeep, Asha, Albela, etc. had made him immortal. His music and the films should be preserved and restored.

Pankh will do average business.

Pankh will do average business.

In 2010, a number of bollywood films were released till April, but excepting Ishqiya and Karthik Calling Karthik, none of the other films did good business. Pankh was written and directed by Sudipto Chattopadhyay and produced by Sanjay Gupta. It had been released on 2nd April, 2010.

The film was related to the repercussions happening in a little boy who had done a number of female roles at young age. The child roles were done with the name Baby Kusum. He wanted to be an actor after attaining adulthood. He had a strain relationship with his mother.

Due to poverty and other differences in the family he ended up being drug addict. He created an imaginary character for himself which was played by Bipasha Basu. Bipasha Basu taunted him and fought against him.

He was made to face the camera again as a young person which led to his downfall. The film highlighted the general practice of Indian films to cast child artists in role opposite to their gender.

The main role were played by Maradona Rebello, Bipasha Basu, Lilette Dube, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ronit Roy, Sanjeeta Sheikh and Amit Purohit. Music had been composed by Raju Singh. The only prominent song in the film was sung by Sunidhi Chauhan titled “jiya jalana”.

Although the theme of the film had been good, the facts did not entertain the viewers during the period of the entire film. The slowness of the subject and abstractness had led to boredom. The performances of all the actors and actresses had been good.

The film may get critical acclamation for the rare subject matter, but the box-office report would not be encouraging. The film is scheduled to do average business.

Dilip Mukherjee's directorial contribution in Bengali films.

Dilip Mukherjee’s directorial contribution in Bengali films.

Dilip Mukherjee was known for his innovative films and decent performances in Bengali celluloid. He started his directorial debut with Tarun Majumdar and Sachin Majumdar under the name of Jatrik. Their film Chawa Pawa in 1959 with Bengali superstar Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen stormed tollywood.

Chawa Pawa was based on the romantic Hollywood blockbuster Roman Holiday, where Gregory Pegg and Audrey Hepburn mesmerized the international viewers in the 50s. Uttam Kumar played the role of the journalist who reached Suchitra Sen, the daughter of wealthy industrialist Chabi Biswas, to her father’s house, before she left the house for avoiding arranged marriage. Sandhya Mukherjee’s song “ei to kache chawa” became super hit.

While Dilip Mukherjee made the romantic film during his early days, he shifted to realistic films in early 60s. His film Sriti Tuku Thaak with Suchitra Sen, Bikash Roy and Asitboron appealed to the audience. Suchitra Sen played a double role in the film. She lost her memory, and after knowing that her sister married her husband Asit Boron, she sacrificed her life for him. Sandhya Mukherjee’s song “monero madhuri mishaye” composed by Robin Chatterji became super hit in early 60s.

Dilip Mukherjee’s film Kacher Swargo, related to the unemployment problem in Bengal and related to a very abstract story moved the intellectuals of the country. Critics feel that Dilip Mukherjee, who played the central character in the film had given his best performance in Kancher Swarga. In the mid-60s, Jatrik got divided and Tarun Majumdar independently directly super hit films like Palatak, Sriman Prithviraj, Dadar Kirti, etc.

Dilip Mukherjee continued his direction after retaining the Jatrik Banner. His notable film Ekhane Pinjor with Uttam Kumar got critically acclaimed. Dilip Mukherjee came to Uttam Kumar in Kolkata to get a job. Uttam Kumar could not help him and he committed suicide. Uttam Kumar went to his house in the village and saw his needy mother and sister Aparna Sen. Uttam Kumar felt pity for the family as they lost the single bread-earner Dilip Mukherjee, so he stayed in their house financially helped them.

Uttam Kumar played double role in Dilip Mukherjee’s film Chinna Patra. Dilip Mukherjee acted in the role of villain who killed one of the brother played by Uttam Kumar. The other Uttam Kumar had facial similarities with the deceased and went to his native place to take revenge. Supriya Choudhury, the wife of Uttam Kumar got killed in the process.

Dilip Mukherjee’s film Nagar Darpane also stormed Bengali celluloid in the mid-70s. Uttam Kumar played a very dynamic role in the film. He was the brother of Dilip Mukherjee, who became insane at the end of the film after seeing the degrading value system in the society. Dilip Mukherjee played the role of a police officer who assaulted Uttam Kumar in the film.

Dilip Mukherjee also did shine as an actor. He had provided many notable performances in films like Uttar Falguni, Kancher Swargo, Thana Theke Aaschi, etc. His films both as director and actor should be restored.
