Ramzan Id/ Eid ul Fitar greetings

🌹

🪔 ,

April 11 .. birthday greetings to Ef Lyudmila RF Zueva .. and Ef Heena Maru .. 🙏🏻🚩 .. and may all the best be reserved for you .. love from the Ef's .. ❤️

An extended work out .. repeats, increases of weights , greater time walkabouts .. free arm and the physio to pull the body parts in all conceivable directions ..😁 .. hot showers, the IPL game , when the results are reaching tantalising ends .. and then ..

The mystery of the World Wars .. the building of the armouries .. the mindset of those that work to protect and fight .. the psychological studies of them that initiate such ..

Fascinating .. scary ..

Were then .. am now .. shall be later ..

And life shall move on .. the fears of the past remain fogged and buried .. for the todays, evident and present .. for the tomorrow, the anxiety for the progeny that shall face it .. in time ..

aaahhhhh .. too much philosophy .. this GEN Z shall have none of it .. for them .. Doris Day .. and 🎶 .. and 'que sera sera , whatever will be be will be .. the future's not ours to see .. QUE SERA SERA .. but the song shall ever remain a ???? question mark for the them of today ..

BUT ..

.. how time has kept us all in tune and line .. 1957 Sherwood , Nainital, School Play, Nikolai Gogol's 'The Government Inspector' , Danny Kaye the phenomenal talent, playing the Inspector .. and I use it on stage in Milman Hall for the Annual Concert, where I play the Mayor .. and during a rehearsal, class mate Chris Borthwick, who plays the Inspector suggests the famous line to be spoken at a particular scene - impromptu .. and the entire Hall comes down .. it was the most popular song of the World .. and gives me my best actor Cup - the Kendall Cup .. Geoffrey Kendall, who built the drama Company Shakespeareana, travelling all over the World with it .. came to put up the plays of Shakespeare in School .. asked me to play a part on one such day .. I did not coz' was prepping for my Finals Senior Cambridge Exam .. John Kurrien, classmate did it .. Shashi Kapoor married his daughter - Jennifer - who acted on stage with her Father, and where and when Shashi ji met her ..

GEN Z .. 🥹 !!

Alright then .. its 😴

Kapoor and Sons (2016) is literally one of the best bollywood movies ever made. It captures every indian household, every dynamic, mainly every feeling. I've watched this movie so many times, but everytime dadu ki bday party makes me happy from within, every time I find myself yearning for family moments like when it happens in the movie when shashi chachu's family comes, and the ending. Oh god, every time I crumble with the intensity with how the movie plays itself, how the characters are just too tired to play along with the life that's expected from them. In love with the brother dynamic, the mother son relationship, rahul's storyline, arjun's desperation, the mother (sunita's) helplessness. Ugh.

I can literally go on and on, write a thousands of words about this film. I just love it so so dearly.

Blog Entry #1

Key components of the Bollywood film industry

                  This blog is designed to inform the audience about the Bollywood film industry. I will be creating 5 different blog entries that discuss and go into detail about information on the Bollywood film industry and its importance. This week’s blog will be an overview of the key components of the Bollywood film industry.

                  The Bollywood film industry began in the 1930’s in Mumbai and then developed into a big film empire which expanded tremendously throughout the upcoming years. Bollywood films are widely known for “their emotional appeal, spectacular use of music and dance, and contribution to Indian popular culture.” (Bollywood, 2025). The golden age of the Bollywood film industry was from the 1940’s to the 1960’s. During the Golden age, some of the most popular stars were Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, and Dev Anand, Meena Kumari, Madhubala, and Nargis. “superstar” was a term that was first used to describe the actor Rajesh Khanna. He was featured in 15 consecutive popular films between 1969 and 1971.

                  Bollywood films have a very big fanbase all around the world. In the recent years Bollywood films have been available to watch on popular streaming services like Netflix and amazon. This allows people all around the world to watch and enjoy the Bollywood film industry. Bollywood films are so loved due to the amount of culture within the movie. The fashion, music, and dancing in Bollywood films are seen by so many people and has attracted tourists from all around the world. IMBD ranks the 35 Bollywood movies. Out of the 35 movies, the top three that are ranked as the most popular are 3 idiots directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Lion directed by Garth Davis, and Padmaavat directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

                  At the turn of the 21st century, Bollywood was producing 1000 feature films annually. These movies were produced in all of India’s major languages and also in multiple cities. During this time, the representation of women in Bollywood had progressed. It started to come out that both male and female actors were speaking out about being pressured into exchanging sexual favors for roles. The Me Too Movement started to become big in Hollywood around 2017 started to make its way to India where multiple actors and actresses spoke up about experiences that they had.  

                  One of the most important characteristics of Bollywood films is the use of music and dance in their films and the effectiveness of them. These are two aspects of the movies that bring in the attention from the audiences. Most of the famous actresses in popular Bollywood films have been skilled dancers. The most iconic production in the Bollywood industry is called Sholay and was directed by Ramesh Sippy. Bollywood has expanded all over the globe. Some of the most popular actors such as Shashi Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have been in movies have crossed over to international cinema. Recently, Bollywood has been eclipsed by the South Indian film Industry. Along with this, the Bollywood film industry is also facing competition from streaming services such as Netflix which leads to a decline in ticket sales in cinemas. The Bollywood film industry has been trying to adapt to these challenges by creating films for streaming services.

To mark the occasion, veteran actress Shabana Azmi, a great admirer of the late star, spoke about him by going down memory lane in an interview with us.

Tribute 793.

Tribute 793 Paying homage to the multi-talented Manoj Kumar, a stalwart in the Indian Bolly wood film industry who, over four and a half decades, left an indelible mark as an actor, producer, and director. Renowned for his patriotic films infused with moral depth and action, Kumar collaborated with top actors like late Pran, Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, Prem Chopra, and Jaya Bachchan. Some of his memorable works include "Upkaar," "Purab aur Paschim," "Dus Numbri," "Shor," and "Roti Kapda Aur Makan," the latter two earning him directional awards. His films featured acclaimed cinematography by Reddy and music by Kalyanji Anandji and Laxmikant Pyarelal. Kumar's simplicity and soft-spoken demeanor endeared him to the film fraternity. Today, I am delighted to honor this cinematic luminary in my blog. Regards, K. Ragavan, 20-11-23. Until we meet again next week

Nothing just Kapoor Brothers being too Beautiful for this sinful world

They raised the bar so high it can’t even be seen with naked eye anymore

[aadhiskanmani]

[kellythepitiablefangirl]

I just finished a giant piece from the 1972 film Siddhartha.

I absolutely can’t get enough of Simi Garewal’s small role in it. The scenes where they’re just walking around in decadent jewelry and the best threads and looking into each other’s eyes romantically against lush Indian backdrops... the aesthetique...!
