Unforgettable love story of Sahir, Amrita Pritam & Imroz

Image
 The blog is about the unforgettable love story of Sahir, Amrita and Imroz.  Love is the most powerful emotion. When this most powerful emotion rises above the intellect & reason and takes the imagination using the sanctity of its emotion to form poetry, it becomes divine. Who knows it better than the  ‘Sahir Ludhianvi’ Sahir Ludhianvi was a temperamental poet, who was more concerned about the real issues than praising the beauty of women. He would rather highlight the plight of the woman rather than praise her lips and eyes. For example, he would not use the words like the contemporary poets’ Chhalkaye jaam aaiye aapki aankhon ke naam, hothon ke naam “  or Chho lene do Nazaq honton Ko , Kucch aur Nahi hai Jaam hai ye… But he would prefer highlighting their problem to be addressed. For instance Aurat ne janam diya mardo ko Mardo ne use bazar diya Jab ji chaha masla kuchla Jab ji chaha dutkar diya Aurat ne janam diya mardo ko Tulati hai kahi dinaro me Bikti hai kahi bazar

Gumnaam-1965 The film is a loosely-inspired adaptation of the 1939 mystery novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Eight people are trapped on an island when their plane abandons them. They find a large mansion whose butler is expecting them. Then one by one, they die. The film came to wider attention in the English-speaking world when its opening song “ “Jaan Pechaan Ho”" (a Hindi-Urdu phrase roughly translated as "we should get to know each other") was included in the opening credits of Ghost World and used in the 2011 commercial The Date for Heineken. The song was sung by Bollywood music legend Mohammed Rafi. The lead dancer in the song as shot in the film was Laxmi Chhaya  The psychedelic choreography was done by Herman Benjamin, who also sang the song as picturised in the film. The film was also a musical hit with songs like Gumnaam Hai Koi, Hum Kaale Hain To kya hua, Jaan pechaan ho, Gham Chhodke Manaao Rang rali   2. Hamraaz- 1967 Hamraaz

  A man of many facets- Mahesh Bhatt who is an extra ordinary filmmaker known for the outstanding movies like Saransh, Daddy, Naam, Swayam,Ashiqui, Awargi, Dil Hai Ki manta Nahin, Sadak , Sir, and Zakhm. He is one of the most successful directors and producers of modern times. Not only he has produced and directed the great movies but have also launched the careers of Many actors Including veteran actor Anupam Kher,Ashutosh Rana, Sonali Bendre, Rahul Roy, Anu Agarwal, Atul Agnihotri, Manoj Vajapayee, Aftab Shivdasani , Kangna Ranaut , Shiney Ahuja etc. Perhaps the art of his great film making, is wrapped up in lot of traits, which reflects his uglier side. Incredible talent, polluted by bad character is a poison that dehydrates the world of positive virtues, and craving for it makes you more vulnerable. It's easier to maintain a good character than to recover it when it's gone bad!” I am not casting aspersions on his character. But his life is full of controversies no matte

Why you should not rely too much on Google

Why you should not rely too much on Google search for the opinion or the facts. The fact is ,the information reflecting mostly on Google search, is provided by substandard and low-grade material, which gets crawled as top rankings  on websites. The reason is quite obvious. There are tools like search engine optimization  (SEO). Using Keywords, semantics keyword research and much to get the second-rated information ranked on top of the Google search pages. In other words technology beats and trounces the quality. It is Gadgets, Google and SEO, which is being used, or rather abused by the website owners. My apprehensions are not unfounded and there is a reason to believe so. Let’s discuss. Please find below the points mentioned, as a reason that Google search engine is not a gospel truth while relying on facts or opinions.   <script data-ad-client="ca-pub-7207669018564714" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script

Jin hotho ne inako pyaar kiya, Unn hotho kaa vyopaar kiya Jis kokh me inaka jism dhala, Uss kokh kaa karobaar kiya Jis tan se uge kopal ban kar, Uss tan ko jalilo khar kiya Aurat ne janam diya mardo ko...   The exhibition of sex portrayal in Films and mass Media has assumed alarming proportion and is perpetuating unabated. Women are considered a commodity- a sex object, which is meant to conciliate the lust of perverted men. The use of women in advertisement and in item songs to sell the product is rampant. Filmmakers and advertisers use the sex imagery featuring sexual content in selling a product which has no relationship with the product. There was a

Bold actresses of Bollywood who broke the jinx

In a paradigm shift from conventional cinema to modern cinema, following are the actresses who have completely changed the art of film-making . I am not referring to the vulgar and cheap movies where the actress has exposed for the commercial success of the movie with no content but  I am referring to movies and the actresses which have acted as per the audacious script which reflect the social evils and the problems of a young adult. The films give a perspective to hail the real subjects which were considered as a taboo. ·            Lashmi ·           Zeenat Aman ·           Simi Garewal ·           Mandakini ·           Rekha ·           Sharmila Tagore ·           Devika Rani ·           Dimple Kapadia   Lashmi: The real Name of Lakshmi was  Yaragudipadi Venkata Mahalakshmi  : Lakshmi played a bold role in Julie in  the movie “ Julie” in 1975.
