Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Just had a sudden urge to appreciate the beautiful film 'Guddi' starring Jaya Bahaduri which was directed by Indian director Hrishikesh Mukherjee. I don't know why! Now I will be yapping about him.

धर्मेंद्र, राजेश खन्ना, अमिताभ बच्चन... ह्रषिकेश मुखर्जी के बिना अधूरे हैं ये सुपरस्टार्स

-शरद दत्त यह बात उन दिनों की है ज मनोहर श्याम जोशी हिंदुस्तान समूह की पत्रिकाओं- साप्ताहिक हिंदुस्तान तथा मॉर्निंग ईको के संपादक थे और हम उनके साथ गुरु-शिष्य की परंपरा अत्यंत गंभीरता से निभा रहे थे। हमें याद नहीं पड़ता कि इस शिष्य ने गुरु को कभी कोई दक्षिणा दी हो, लेकिन गुरु ने अवश्य दीक्षास्वरूप हमारा परिचय फ़िल्म जगत की दो विभूतियों से करा दिया। ये विभूतियां थीं ऋत्विक घटक तथा ह्रषिकेश मुखर्जी।…

Remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s classic Bawarchi gets writer-director; Anushree Mehta to helm the adaptation

Known for directing Radhika Apte starrer Mrs Undercover, Anushree Mehta is gearing up to take the modern day adaptation of the classic Bawarchi on floors.

The chef is back and is ready to cook up a storm. Filmmaker Anushree Mehta, who made her debut with the Radhika Apte starrer Mrs Undercover last year, has now come on board to direct the Hindi remake of the loved 1972 classic Bawarchi, which was originally helmed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

The family comedy drama featured an ensemble led by actors Rajesh Khanna, Jaya Bachchan and Asrani, among others. Bawarchi was a remake of Rabi Ghosh starrer 1966 Bengali film Galpo Holeo Satti by Tapan Sinha.

The adaptation of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee feature will be the first movie out of the three-film collaboration between Jaadugar Films and Sameer Raj Sippy Productions. They will also remake timeless classics like Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bachchan starrer Mili (1975) and Gulzar's iconic 1972 drama Koshish.

Anushree Mehta described directing the Bawarchi adaptation as a "kaleidoscopic combination" of being excited, honoured, humbled coupled with the awareness of shouldering a "massive responsibility."

She said, "When my business partner Abir Sengupta (Jaadugar Films), Sameer Raj Sippy and I decided to join hands to produce these three iconic films, we were clear that we would leave no stone unturned in remaking them with utmost love and respect. During our discussion on Bawarchi, Abir and Sameer were of the opinion that I should be writing and directing the remake.”

She added, "They were convinced that I would be able to tell the story in a manner which would make them proud. We were in sync with our vision and I whole heartedly agreed to come board as the writer-director."

Remaking a loved classic such as Bawarchi naturally comes with a huge responsibility, but Anushree said that the adaptation would echo her "confidence, honesty and sensitivity."

"The idea of retelling a film is to adapt it according to the current times and make it more relatable to the world we live in today—while keeping the soul and purpose of the original intact. Since Bawarchi itself was a remake of a Bengali film, Hrishida in his time recreated it and made it relatable to that era. My attempt is going to be with a similar intention, to retell the classic story of Bawarchi in a way that the family audiences of all age groups can watch and enjoy the movie together. I'm aiming to create a wholesome, unforgettable family experience," she added.

Anushree Mehta has finished writing the Bawarchi adaptation and hopes to get the film on floors in 2024. Casting of the film is underway, with makers looking to lock an A list star.

When Dharmendra Was Reprimanded By This Critically-acclaimed Filmmaker

Chupke Chupke featured the hit duo, Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan. Director Hrirshikesh Mukherjee used to shoot without providing a script and scene summary to the actors during Chupke Chupke’s filming. The term romcom, decades ago, was not even a thing in India. Back then, we had Bollywood filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee, churning out films that closely matched the genre. In the 70s and early…

DAY 5754

Chhat Puja (Pratihar Sashthi/Surya Sashthi) Sunday, 19 November

Birthday - EF Rubina Mulchandani ; Ef Pravin Ahuja (noida) 'poet sahab' Sunday, 19 November ... birthday greetings to you and the affection f the Ef family .. ❤️

.. that strain again .. and again .. and again ... at this hour of having just finished work .. no work no play .. yes .. began at 7 am and now in completion .. that is and be the essence of day of us that work .. no work no play .. without it , like the sun never came out .. clouded in its translucent obliquity .. 'abrupt and angular but the very' ... aahh forgot those precious words of Hrish Da's brother on set on one of his films .. 'soul of magnanimity and rectitude' .. found it .. yaaaayyyy !

abrupt and angular but the very soul of magnanimity and rectitude ..

.. he had described the character I played in 'NamakHaram' .. Hrishi Da's film with Rajesh Khanna .. an Indian Becket .. that incredulous film with Peter O' Toole and Richard Burton , playing King and his confidant a commoner , almost .. christenned in the Court much to the dislike of the Church Archbishop .. but what an envious casting and performance abilities of these two giants .. and what a story .. ably adapted by Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the local version of a business tycoon, his empire and his dear friend, whom he has trusted to death and who turns the tide when he discovers the inappropriateness of the labour force that works for his friend's factory and the continued conflict that arises between these two inseparable friends ..

.. the description of the character .. but how mutedly significant in the environment of the day, when the surya devta plays truant ..

o .. lost my thought process .. in the wonderment of the days of this shoot at Mohan Studios .. now sold and converted into a multi storied real estate monstrosity , like many others .. never a word or thought of the massive creativity it encountered during its functionality .. Bimal Roy and his genius, Hrish Da, Prakash Mehra and their huge structured films and so many many others .. lost and gone to the concrete .. but in the memories of archives , now finding it difficult to survive ..

but life and work as I said needs to go on .. each day and enthusiastic run for the glory of the audience- the ones that made and make you !!

i retire ..

Such a joyful watch. It is a rare occurrence where I get Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Basu Chatterjee-Gulzar movie vibes in a recent movie. I am left with a lingering smile. And I know that this movie will live in my head for atleast a few weeks.

RE: Hindi film recs. Please watch Basu Chatterjee's and Hrishikesh Mukherjee's films. They are some of the sweetest, slice of life films and are mostly centered on female protagonists. They remind me of Eric Rohmer's work. I would personally recommend Rajnigandha(1974), Baton Baton Mein(1979), Anupama(1966), and Guddi (1971).

oh absolutely sold on these ! thank you so much angel 💕
