Madhubala (1933-1969) as Anarkali in blockbuster Mughal-E-Azam (1960)
fun fact : Maduhbala was an active philanthropist ! She donated to relief services for refugees from what was then East Bengal ( and is now known as Bangladesh ). She also donated to relief funds for the Jammu and Kashmir conflicts as well as children suffering from polio, earning her the nickname "the queen of charity" as she was called that by editor Baburao Patel.

IB71 OTT Release Date: Vidyut Jammwal Starrer Movie to Premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on July 7
In recent years, the Indian film industry has showcased the remarkable skills of Indian intelligence teams through a series of captivating movies. Films like "Baby," "Akbar Walter Romeo," and the recent release, "Mission Majnu," have shed light on the daring adventures of Indian Intelligence operatives. Adding to this trend, Bollywood's action hero, Vidyut Jamwal, has now brought another fascinating story to the big screen. Disney+ Hotstar Set to Premiere IB-71: Vidyut Jammwal Takes Center Stage Vidyut Jamwal's latest movie, "IB71," delves into the perilous operations of the Intelligence Bureau of India during the Indo-Pak war of 1971. Although the film received a lukewarm response from audiences upon its release, Vidyut took the opportunity to explain the significance of the title and the plot. He clarified that "IB" stands for Intelligence Bureau, the Indian secret service, and emphasized that there hasn't been a movie centered on the IB until now. "IB-71" showcases the agency's paramount undertaking during the Indo-Pak war of 1971, as India's secret service fearlessly confronts the formidable alliance of China and Pakistan. https://twitter.com/DisneyPlusHS/status/1672489462872387586 Significantly, "IB-71" signifies Vidyut Jammwal's foray into film production, marking his debut as a producer. The actor has launched his production company, Action Hero Films, with the aim of providing a platform for actors who often have less prominent roles in films. The streaming rights for the movie were acquired by Disney+ Hotstar, which has announced that the film will premiere on July 7. To enjoy the intense drama unfolding on screen, viewers will need a subscription to the streaming platform. Read Also Adipurush OTT Release: Amazon Prime Video Secures Digital Rights The official trailer of "IB-71" provides a tantalizing sneak peek into the film's storyline. When Indian Intelligence discovers a grave threat posed by Pakistan and China, indicating the possibility of imminent attacks, they find themselves caught off guard. In response, IB agent Dev Jammwal devises a tactical plan to protect the country by effectively cutting off Indian airspace, thwarting this impending danger. Directed by Sankalp Reddy, the film is produced by Vidyut Jammwal, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Abbas Sayyed. The screenplay is written by Sankalp Reddy, Vasudev Reddy, and Arjun Verma. Alongside Vidyut Jammwal, the movie features talented actors such as Anupam Kher, Vishal Jethwa, Niharica Raizada, Dilip Tahil, and Mir Sarwar. Official Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V9tu8rqWIg As the release date approaches, anticipation grows for "IB71." With its focus on a lesser-explored aspect of Indian intelligence history and the promise of gripping storytelling, the film aims to captivate audiences with its intense and patriotic narrative.

★ Pathaan and The SUPERSTARS Of Indian Cinema!
February 8, 2023
Pathaan has smashed records at the box office and it should put into no doubt who are the superstars of INDIA are. The film confirms the box office clout of Shahrukh Khan which had not gone anywhere despite the last decade not being as kind as the decade before. There was a box office change towards the end of 2000-2010 decade where digital prints allowed far wider releases on day one and as this process got bigger and bigger it meant the genre which was the forte of Shahrukh Khan was never going to get record numbers. But through the 2010-2020 decade the numbers coming with films which were not action films were still huge.
Pathaan had a guest role for Salman Khan and the public response has to seen to be believed and this should be enough for the naysayers who have appreaed due to his last few films not doing as well as expected. Stardom does not dissapear with a few films failing at the box office, just like it does not come overnight and takes many films to establish.
The Hindi film industry is probably the most secular place there is in India but the fact that the biggest stars of India over the last two decades are Muslim has not sat well in some quarters of the country and the media over the last few years. In fact the third biggest also with Aamir Khan though this is arguable with Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar in the fold as well. The cinema going audience does not care one bit about religion and within the industry nobody notices the religion baring when things get bought up from the outside. There are these non secular voices also within the industry but the way the industry has functioned for decades these people soon become outcasts and work will just dry up.
The last few years has seen this Pan India thing pop up so you have regional stars names being put up as the biggest superstars of the country laughable as it may seem. There are no doubt some great directors in the Southern industries so it is possible their films can do well in the Hindi belts but that hardly means the actors in these films become stars and superstardom is far away except for the regional one which they probably have already..
India has seen seven stars achieve megastardom and two of them are Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. The others being Dilip Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. There is not one name in sight from regional film industries and yet today you see names like Prabhas, Yash, Allu Arjun and others put up with there with two superstars who are not only the biggest superstars of the day but among the biggest ever.
This is not to say that someone from the regional industry cannot become a huge superstar tomorrow because if the public takes to you then anything can happen but to reach the level of above names will take some doing not only for the regional stars but even for Hindi filmstars.
The simple reason why the the big superstars have come from the Hindi film industry is because the language has a wider reach. If other languages had a reach as wide as Hindi then maybe it would be a different story. Yes movies can be dubbed but that is the film reaching out and not the actor.
Basically the negativity towards the Hindi film industry has led to many claims as to which is the biggest film industry and who are the biggest stars and when the national media is like this you get the regional one badmouthing Hindi cinema as and pushing their own which is natural. But at the end of the day nothing much has changed despite the claims as the HINDI film industry easily remains the biggest film industry in India as content may go wrong but that does not change the reach.
As for the stars, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan remain the biggest stars in India and that does not look like changing for sometime yet even though the starpower may not be as big as it was other points in their careers

FILM QUOTES/ IN HINDI CINEMA
Ramchandra Keh Gaye Siya Se (Gopi)
Film: Gopi, Year: 1970, Singer:Mahendra Kapoor, Music: Kalyanji Anandji, Lyrics: Rajendra Krishna, Actors: Dilip Kumar, Saira Banu, Om Prakash, Pran
youtube
हे जी रे… हे जी रे…, हे जी रे… हे रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से, रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से ऐसा कलयुग आएगा, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, कौआ मोती खाएगा, हे जी रे…
It will be so, it will be so.., God Ram had said to Sita (before he left), such a dark time will come, (when) swans will be feeding on seeds in the dirt, (and) crows will be eating pearls.
सिया ने पूछा भगवन, कलयुग में धर्म – कर्म को, कोई नहीं मानेगा?, तो प्रभु बोले, धर्म भी होगा कर्म भी होगा, धर्म भी होगा कर्म भी होगा, परंतु शर्म नहीं होगी, बात बात में मात-पिता को, बात बात में मात-पिता को, बेटा आँख दिखाएगा, हे रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से…
Sita asked God, In dark times, will nobody believe in the right way of living and consequences? to which God replied, There will be a way of living, and its consequences, however, there will be no shame, in every matter, upon mother and father, the son will show an evil-eye (and tell them what to do). (Meaning: Instead of the parents controlling the child, the child will control the parents.)
राजा और प्रजा दोनों में, होगी निसदिन खेचातानी खेचातानी, कदम कदम पर करेंगे दोनों, अपनी अपनी मनमानी, हे…मनमानी, हे जिसके हाथ में होगी लाठी, जिसके हाथ में होगी लाठी, भैंस वही ले जाएगा, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का कौआ मोती खाएगा, हे रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से…
The king and (his) subjects, in both, there will be continuous tug of war, at every step they will both, do whatever their hearts desires.
(Meaning: Everyone will want to be the boss working above the law. There will be no hierarchical structure (sump-prathista). Neither the King nor his subjects will obey the law, they will do whatever they please, whenever they please, living above the law.)
The one who wields a stick in hand, they will win the argument.
(Meaning: Arguments and disputes will be settled by force and violence. The most violent will prevail, whilst the peaceful will suffer under their subjugation.)
सुनो सिया कलयुग में, काला धन और काले मन होंगे, काले मन होंगे, चोर उच्चक्के नगर सेठ, और प्रभु भक्त निर्धन होंगे, निर्धन होंगे, जो होगा लोभी और भोगी…जो होगा लोभी और भोगी, वो जोगी कहलाएगा, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, कौआ मोती खाएगा, हे रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से…
Listen Sita, in dark times, there will be black money, and dark hearts.
(Meaning: Evil minded people will have no qualms getting rich quickly from immoral activities, however those trying earn through honest and decent means will struggle throughout their lives.)
The boss of the town will be the biggest thief lifting everything, and (true) worshippers of God, will remain in poverty.
(Meaning: During the dark times, the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many. Officials such as town mayors and prime ministers, who are supposed to be serving under the people, for the people, will have private planes carrying suitcases of money to secret Swiss bank accounts. Paradoxically, they will have money that far exceeds their official salaries... These crows (and their crow friends) will be living the high life on ill-gotten gains, whilst people of god (swans) will be poor and starving.
Those who are greedy and lost in materialistic pleasures, they will be called saintly men of god.
(Meaning: There will be many self-made gurus pretending to be swans (men of God), but actually they are just crows.)
मंदिर सूना सूना होगा, भरी रहेंगी मधुशाला, मधुशाला, पिता के संग संग भरी सभा में नाचेंगी घर की बाला, घर की बाला, हे केसा कन्यादान पिता ही, केसा कन्यादान पिता ही, कन्या का धन खाएगा, हंस चुगेगा दाना तुन का, कौआ मोती खाएगा, हे रामचंद्र कह गए सिया से
The temples shall be completely empty, (whilst) drinking-houses shall remain full. Together with her father, in a full audience, dances, a young daughter of his house., Where is the fathers charity of giving away his bride daughter?, instead, he lives on her money.
(Meaning: A good father usually gives away his daughter (kanya) in her wedding ceremony as charity (daan), which makes the goddess laxmi happy, who then returns this gesture with more prosperity for the daughters future. However in the kali yuug, a greedy father uses his daughter for money. The father neglects his most important duties to his children, which is to ensure that they are educated and married so they have prosperous fruitful futures of their own. Instead, he uses their time and money to go on an ego ride. He squanders their futures and inheritance, and even gives it away to worthless charities just to appear big in society.)
हे जी रे…हे मूरख की प्रीत बुरी, जुए की जीत बुरी, बुरे संग बैठ ते भागे ही भागे भागे ही भागे, हे काजल की कोठरी में, कैसे ही जतन करो, काजल का दाग भाई लागे ही लागे भाई, काजल का दाग भाई लागे ही लागे, हे जी रे…हे जी रे…हे कितना जती को कोई कितना सती हो कोई, कामनी के संग काम जागे ही जागे, जागे ही जागे, सुनो कहे गोपीराम जिसका है नाम काम, उसका तो फंद गले लागे ही लागे रे भाई, उसका तो फंद गले लागे ही लागे, हे जी रे… हे जी रे…
Friendships of fools is bad, triumphs of gamblers is bad, sitting in the company of bad people, your happiness always runs away from you.
(Meaning: If you associate yourself with poor quality people, then your life will have no happiness.)
In the lamp room, however much precautions you take, you will always be stained by the ash brother.
(Meaning: In this world you are surrounded by temptation and it is difficult to remain clean and untainted.)
No matter how high cast some are, how much holy some are, company of debased (people) always awakens debased deeds. Hey listen Gopiram said, (In the dark times) he who has a (good) name and does (good) deeds, will always have a hangman’s noose placed around his neck brother...
(Meaning: A person of good character is always destroyed by the evil types, whilst evil characters always prevail and succeed in life.)
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid one are full of confidence.”
— Charles Bukowski

Palatak
(Paraíso Frágil)
IND, 1963
Yatrik (Tarun Majumdar, Dilip Mukherjee, Sachin Mukherjee)
7/10
Fuga em Frente
Palatak é mais um melodrama musical indiano, ao velho estilo de Bollywood. Baseado numa história de Manoje Basu adaptada por Tarun Majumdar, que também realiza, juntamente com Dilip e Sachin Mukherjee, sob o pseudónimo coletivo de Yatrik. O filme teve assinalável sucesso, tendo recebido prémios de melhor ator, Anup Kumar, e de melhor atriz secundária, Ruma Guha Thakurta.
Falado em bengali, constitui hoje um clássico do cinema da região.
Trata-se da história de um segundo filho, rico e mimado, de uma família brâmane, que não quer assumir as responsabilidades da sua posição social e decide correr mundo, quase como um vagabundo, em busca de experiências e conhecimento. E se digo, quase como um vagabundo, é porque, embora não tenha preconceitos em dormir ao relento, ou num estábulo, ou de se juntar a uma trupe de músicos e bailarinas de feira, ele não só está sempre bem provido de dinheiro, para qualquer necessidade, como não hesita em fazer uso da sua casta e do nome de família para ser bem acolhido, onde quer que passe, mostrando até arrogância, com frequência, no modo como usa e trata os seus "inferiores" solidários.
Palatak, que poderia traduzir-se pelo fugitivo errante, é precisamente uma espécie de anti herói, que troca a riqueza pela liberdade, apenas para descobrir, afinal, que o que sempre buscou, estava ao seu alcance, quase sem sair de casa. Era apenas o conforto e o amor da constituição da sua própria família.
A história é moralista, mas o personagem é complexo e bem interpretado por Anup Kumar, dando o filme uma visão pitoresca e socialmente colorida (apesar de ser a preto e branco) de uma Índia remota e tradicionalista, fortemente marcada pelas divisões sociais, decorrentes do sistema de castas.
Escape Forward
Palatak is another Indian musical melodrama, in the old style of Bollywood. Based on a story by Manoje Basu, adapted by Tarun Majumdar, who also directs, together with Dilip and Sachin Mukherjee, under the collective pseudonymous of Yatrik. The film had a significant success, receiving awards for best actor, Anup Kumar, and best actor second, Ruma Guha Thakurta.
Spoken in Bengali, constitutes today a classic of the cinema of the region.
It deals with the story of a second son, rich and beloved, from a Brahmin family, who does not want to assume the responsibilities of his social position and decides to wander the world, almost like a vagabond, in search of experiences and knowledge. I say, almost like a vagabond, because, although he has no shame in sleeping under a tree, in a stable, or of joining a troupe of musicians and fairground ballerinas, he is not only always well provided with money, for any need, as he does not hesitate to use his caste and family name to be accepted, wherever he passes, even showing arrogance, frequently, with the ones that help him, and he treats as "inferior".
Palatak, which could be translated as a fugitive errant, is precisely a kind of anti-hero, who exchanged wealth for freedom, only to discover, at last, that what he always sought was within reach, almost without leaving this home. It was just the comfort and love of establishing one's own family.
The story is moralistic, but the character is complex and well-interpreted by Anup Kumar, giving the film a picturesque and socially colorful (despite being a black and white movie) vision of a remote and traditionalist India, strongly marked by social divisions, caused by the system of castes.

Today marks the 20th death anniversary of Uma Devi Khatri aka #TunTun. She was a well-known singer and actress, famous for being the first female comedian in Hindi cinema. Uma was born in 1923 in a small village near Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, India. Tragically, her parents and brother were killed over a land dispute. Uma lost her family when she was very young and had to live as a maid with relatives. Despite these hardships, Uma's life changed when she met Akhtar Abbas Kazi, an Excise Duty Inspector, who supported and encouraged her. During the India-Pakistan partition, Kazi moved to Lahore, but Uma went to Bombay (now Mumbai) to pursue a singing career in movies. They later married in Bombay in 1947. Uma bravely approached composer Naushad Ali in Bombay, asking for a chance to sing, and he gave her an opportunity. She debuted as a singer in the film "Wamiq Azra" (1946) and quickly made a name for herself. Uma had a series of hit songs in the 1940s, including in the movie "Dard" (1947). Her singing career flourished, and she became one of the top playback singers. However, as music styles changed, she found it hard to compete with newer singers. Naushad suggested she try acting, and she debuted in the film "Babul" (1950) alongside Dilip Kumar, where she got her stage name "Tun Tun." Tun Tun became a famous comic actor, appearing in many films over the next decades, including with stars like Amitabh Bachchan. She acted in about 198 films in various languages, becoming a well-loved figure in Bollywood comedy. Her last film appearance was in "Kasam Dhande Ki" (1990). Tun Tun's name became a cultural reference in India, often associated with comic characters.
