AMUL PRODUCTS 

 

Amul, an iconic name in the dairy industry, has been synonymous with quality, taste, and innovation for decades. Established in 1946 as a cooperative movement in India, Amul has grown to become one of the largest and most successful dairy organizations in the world. This article explores the diverse range of Amul products that have not only transformed the dairy landscape but have also found a place in the hearts and homes of millions. 

The Genesis of Amul: 

Amul, an acronym for Anand Milk Union Limited, originated in the town of Anand in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Dr. Verghese Kurien, often hailed as the "Father of the White Revolution," played a pivotal role in establishing Amul as a cooperative venture to empower local farmers. The cooperative model aimed to eradicate middlemen and ensure that farmers received fair compensation for their milk. 

Dairy Delights – Amul's Flagship Products: 

1. Amul Milk: The journey of Amul began with milk, and it continues to be the cornerstone of its success. Amul offers a variety of milk products, including full cream milk, toned milk, double-toned milk, and flavored milk. The stringent quality standards and the use of state-of-the-art technology ensure that consumers receive pure and wholesome milk. 

2. Amul Butter: Amul's iconic butter, popularly known as the "Amul Girl" butter, has become a household name. Known for its rich taste and creamy texture, Amul butter is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes, from simple to gourmet. 

3. Amul Ghee: Amul Ghee is another product that reflects the traditional richness of Indian cuisine. Made from pure cow's milk, Amul Ghee is the preferred choice for cooking and is celebrated for its authentic flavor.

4. Amul Cheese: Amul offers a diverse range of cheeses to cater to the evolving tastes of consumers. From the classic Amul Processed Cheese to variants like Amul Emmental, consumers can indulge in a world of cheesy delights. 

Beyond Dairy – Amul's Diversification: 

1. Amul Ice Cream: Amul's foray into the ice cream segment has been nothing short of a sweet success. Amul Ice Cream, available in an extensive range of flavors and formats, has captured the hearts of dessert enthusiasts across the country. The brand's commitment to quality ingredients and innovative flavors has made Amul Ice Cream a staple in celebrations and everyday indulgences. 

2. Amul Chocolate: Amul's chocolate offerings are a testament to its commitment to quality and taste. From milk chocolate to dark chocolate and chocolate bars to pralines, Amul has a wide array of options to satisfy the sweet cravings of chocolate lovers. 

3. Amul Paneer: Amul has expanded its product line to include paneer, a versatile dairy product widely used in Indian cuisine. Amul Paneer is known for its freshness and soft texture, making it a popular choice for dishes like paneer tikka and palak paneer. 

4. Amul UHT Milk: Understanding the changing lifestyle preferences of consumers, Amul introduced Ultra High Temperature (UHT) processed milk. This technology ensures that the milk remains fresh for a longer duration without the need for refrigeration, making it a convenient choice for on-the-go consumers.

Remembering Vijay Anand on his 86th birth anniversary.

Vijay Anand(22 January 1934 – 23 February 2004), also known as Goldie Anand, was a filmmaker, producer, screen writer, editor, and actor, who is known for acclaimed films like Guide (1965) and Johny Mera Naam (1970). He made most of his films for the in-house banner Navketan Films and is part of the Anand family.

Vijay Anand was born in Gurdaspur, Punjab, British India to well-to-do advocate Pishori Lal Anand. He was the youngest of the four Anand siblings, including producer and director Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, one of the greatest and most beloved of Hindi film stars, his sister is Sheela Kanta Kapur, who is the mother of acclaimed Indian film director Shekhar Kapur.

Though Vijay Anand has had a career as an actor, screenwriter, editor, and producer, he will primarily be remembered as a director. In 1957, he made his directorial debut with Nau Do Gyarah, which he shot in 40 days.

Some of his successful movies as director are Johny Mera Naam (1970), Jewel Thief (1967), Teesri Manzil (1966), Kala Bazar (1960), Ram Balram, Rajput. Teesri Manzil, which he made for producer Nasir Hussain, was his first non-Navketan film as a director. Some of his major films are Tere Mere Sapne (1971) and Guide (1965). Guide, starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman is Vijay Anand's most critically acclaimed movie. It is based on R.K. Narayan's novel The Guide. Navketan attempted an international release of a remake of Guide without much success.

Vijay Anand is known for his stylish song picturization, like "O Haseena" (Teesri Manzil ), "Kaaton Se Kheech" (Guide ) and "Honthon Mein Aisi Baat" (Jewel Thief ) numbers.

As an actor, his most memorable roles were in films Haqeeqat (1964), Kora Kagaz (1974), in which he starred opposite Jaya Bachchan, and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978). 'Chor Chor' was a song-less thriller where Leena Chandavarkar was his heroine. He acted in 'Ghoonghroo Ki Aawaz', 'Double Cross' and 'Chhupa Rustam.'

To the younger generation of the 1990s he is also known for playing detective Sam in the television series Tehkikaat (1994).

He served a short stint as the chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification, India's censor board, a position from which he resigned, in 2002, after he ran into ideological differences with the government over introduction of ratings for adult movies.

He caused a major controversy by marrying his much younger niece. He was in the inner circle of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

Goldie, as he was affectionately called, died on 23 February 2004 due to a heart attack. He was aged 70.

Top 10 | Big Budget Bollywood Movies That Flopped

Doesn’t it all come down to the business at the end of the day?

As profitable as it seems, not all Bollywood movies rake in millions. According to the very famous box office reports, a film is identified as a flop when the incomes that the movie makes after its release does not match up to the cost of making the movie. And sometimes, these differences are massive and even bigger is the budget…

The story of Sanjay Dutt’s involvement in the arms case first came to light when journalist Baljeet Parmar got a whiff of his involvement with the underworld. He had heard through the grapevine that the son of an MP was involved and upon further investigation, he concluded that it was indeed Sanjay Dutt.Parmar broke this news and five days later Dutt was arrested as soon as he returned from Mauritius. The recent biopic on the actor by Rajkumar Hirani has been accused of being a PR exercise for cleaning up the image of Sanjay Dutt. Many think pieces have emerged saying that Hirani has portrayed him as the man who was a victim of circumstances and the film refuses to take the blame for any wrong committed by Sanjay.Parmar, who has not seen the film yet, expressed on Facebook that “Hirani and his ilk are out there to make a quick buck”. Parmar also said, “The so-called bio pics are tailored to suite the man or the woman they are based on. They are not to inspire the audiences but are there to create a smokescreen to blur their minds.”During the last two days I have received hundreds of messages and requests to react on the film SANJU. First of all let me confess that I am not a film buff. The last time I went to watch a movie was in 1997. But that doesn’t mean that I am alien to the medium. My first brush with Bollywood was in 1976 when I landed in Mumbai from Chandigarh. My friend Labh Singh was working for Himalaya Films and I stayed with him at Shri Chetan Anand’s shack at Juhu where I had the privilege of, meeting Dev Saab, Goldie ji, Raj Kumar, Vinod Khanna, Pran Saab, Shekhar Kapoor among many others. During the period Chetan Saab started ‘hathon ki Lakrrein ‘and his son Kunki Baba completed his film with Shekhar and Shsbana. I was a part of the production team. It was here at Himalaya Films that I got my big career break courtesy Kunki Baba and vital help from his general manager Poras Dartuwalla who introduced me to Sam Cambata and Kali Mody who had the security contract for hotels Holiday Inn, Juhu, Ambassador at Churchgate and Wellington Club. I was made the Chief Security Officer and operated from Juhu.In those days Holiday Inn was nerve centre of Bollywood activities. Every other day there was a Mahurat or a filmi party.My job and position put me in direct contact with many known personalities. Dharam Bhaji gave us contract to guard his bungalow which made made me to visit him often. The extended Deol family –Bauji, Ajit Bhaaji, Virender,, Jagdarshan, Ranjit Virk became my family too and still remains the same. I still cherish the moments like having a drink with Rajesh Khanna, Pran Saab, Rajinder Singh Bedi,Raj Kumar, Achha Anand or enjoying card sessions at Narinder Bedi’s Khar Bungalow.The point I want to make is that I have seen film industry from very close quarters.But at the same time I never felt at home in the filmdom. I still have many friends and well wishers like Raj Babbar, Milan Luthria, Madhur Bhandarkar, Satish Kaushik to name a few but I never discuss films with them. We just exchange pleasantries or chat about the underworld.Having said that I very strongly feel that it is a waste of time to discuss merits or dismerits of films like SANJU or it’s protagonist Sanjay Dutt. Hirani and his ilk are out there to make a quick buck. That is their business and they have every right to do it. They are there to compose fiction and not portraying facts. Fiction is soft. Facts are hard. One is very easy to manufacture the other is difficult to gather.The so-called bio pics are tailored to suite the man or the woman they are based on. They are not to inspire the audiences but are there to create a smokescreen to blur their minds. The use or misuse of drugs, sleeping with women, branding media as an addictive potion, finding faults with system or society, willingly and knowingly Indulge in criminal activity, showing no remorse for your past actions, playing the sympathy card and crying victim, if that is what SANJU is about, I do not regret my decision of staying away from cinema halls.  The IE : 6th.

JOURNALIST BALJEET PARMAR WHO BROKE SANJAY DUTT’s STORY IN 1993 REFUSED TO WATCH ‘SANJU’ : The story of Sanjay Dutt’s involvement in the arms case first came to light when journalist Baljeet Parmar got a whiff of his involvement with the underworld.

[lazyupdates]

Ask any director who he’s been influenced by and Vijay Anand’s name will feature notably in that list. Because the filmmaker was not just a textbook of cinema. He was an entire curriculum. Not limited by any genre or stymied by his own sensibilities he could flit through comedy, thriller, drama, musical and even masala fare with ease. His directorial excellence was as much about his deft camera work as it was about his nuanced characters. Waheeda Rehman in Guide, despite playing an adulteress, went on to become an iconic symbol of rebellion. Vyjayanthimala went notches further as a dancer after she kept pace with his trailing camera in Jewel Thief. Shammi Kapoor became India’s answer to Elvis Presley as he matched Anand’s vision of a rockstar in Teesri Manzil. So did Mumtaz drape her sexuality in homely cotton sarees to give her best performance in Tere Mere Sapne…

Anand’s songs too outlived his times, most being the pride of satellite TV. Love awakening against a rising sun in Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai. Dreams lettered in Pal pal dil ke paas… Love scaling heights in Dil ka bhanwar… Vijay Anand’s creative picturisations took the story forward. “My camera listens to the song and moves with it,” he once said. Long shots, lush backdrops and sharp intercutting brought out the poetry in the prose.

Yet Anand’s life was not confined to the boundaries of fame. He was essentially a seeker, his quest leading him to somewhere finding the ultimate answers with guru UG Krishnamurthy. It was also this philosophical side that helped him tide an ebbing career and health. For someone who could almost predict the period of his death, the shenanigans of fate were no threats. Today, Anand’s genius lives on in the cinematic jargon. In fact, Sriram Raghavan’s Johnny Gaddar, a noir thriller, paid a subtle tribute to the master in a scene where his blockbuster Johny Mera Naam played… Memories of an unforgettable man and an extraordinary filmmaker in the words of wife Sushma Anand… THE MAKER Goldie’s (Vijay Anand’s pet name) childhood was spent in Gurdaspur in Punjab. A fair child with blonde curls, he was naughty. Hence, his father called him ‘Goldilocks’. With time, locks nikalgaye, ‘Goldie’ rehgaya! Goldie lost his mother when he was seven. He, along with his two older sisters (they were a family of nine siblings), came to live with Chetan saab (Anand, filmmaker) and Uma bhabhi (Anand) at their ‘shack’ in Juhu. Chetan saab was older to Dev saab (Anand, actor/filmmaker) by 10 years, who in turn was older to Goldie by 10. Uma bhabhi was like a mother to Goldie and had a great influence on him. She urged him to write, given his sharp imagination. Goldie often said, “I owe everything to Bhabhi.”

While Goldie was studying in St Xaviers College in Mumbai, he directed several plays, including the play Rehearsal. It was a takeoff on Hamlet and the catch phrase ‘to be or not to be’. Just out of college, Goldie wrote the script of Navketan’s Taxi Driver (1954), with Uma bhabhi, which Chetan saab directed. He had also written the script of Nau Do Gyarah (1957) and wanted to direct it but didn’t have the courage to tell Dev saab about it. Once when Dev saab was going to Mahableshwar, he asked Goldie for the script to read it on the way. Goldie refused saying he’d narrate it himself. He hopped in the car and narrated the story through the journey. On reaching Mahableshwar, Dev saab called his office and said, “Navektan’s next production will be directed by Vijay Anand. Make an announcement!” From then Goldie’s career as a director took off.

Kala Bazaar (1960) was one film where all the three brothers worked together. Dev saab produced it. Goldie wrote and directed it. Chetan saab acted in it. During his college days, Goldie would see tickets being sold in black at theatres including Metro, Liberty and Empire… That gave birth to this concept. He even included real shots of the premiere of Mehboob Khan’s Mother India with actors including Dilip Kumar, Nargis Geeta Dutt, Guru Dutt, Raaj Kumar and Rajendra Kumar.

Amarjeet, who was a publicist and Goldie’s friend, lived in Chetan saab’s shack with Goldie. Once, Goldie fell sick. Amarjeet nursed him with affection. He’d serve him soup, press his legs, check the temperature… Goldie promised him a directorial assignment. Goldie wrote a detailed script of Hum Dono (1961, had Dev Anand in a double role) with everything marked…. entry, exit, camera placement… so that Amarjeet wouldn’t face difficulty while directing. But yet Amarjeet couldn’t do it. Finally, Goldie directed the film but gave Amarjeet the credit that he’d promised him.

Nutan was one of Goldie’s favourite actresses and suited perfectly in the comedy Tere Ghar Ke Saamne (1963). Dil ka bhanwar had a beautifully filmed song. It was shot in the Qutub Minar to get the feel of Delhi. The duo (Dev-Nutan) climbs up as friends but when they come down, they’re lovers. The song Ek ghar banaaonga had camera tricks – Nutan is seen in the glass of whiskey. Guide (1965) was Navketan’s first film in colour. Based on RK Narayan’s novel The Guide, Tad Danielewski was directing the English version for writer Pearl S Buck. Chetan saab was to shoot the same scenes for the Hindi version He found it frustrating. So when he got a financier for Haqeeqat (1964) he quit. Goldie accepted it on the condition that he’d rewrite the script as a subject like blatant adultery would not be accepted by Indian audiences. Guide became a classic because it excelled in photography (Fali Mistry), acting (Dev Anand-Waheeda Rehman), music (SD Burman), editing (Vijay Anand and Babu Shiekh)… The song Tere Mere Sapne was shot in the early light in Udapiur. It was an emotional mood where Dev saab builds hope in a dejected Waheeda Rehman. Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai was filmed in the Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan. Her playing with the straw showed her light-heartedness. When she throws the matki singing dil woh chala it spoke of shedding the past and new beginnings. The finest compliment for Goldie came from RK Narayan who said, “The film is more beautiful than my book.” Goldie went on to direct the spy thriller Jewel Thief (1967). For the legendary Hothon pe aisi baat filmed on Vyjayanthimala, three to four cameras were put up including a trolley camera. Later, Dev saab was to do Nasir Hussain’s thriller Teesri Manzil (1966). When he couldn’t, Shammi Kapoor was roped in. Initially, Shammiji came at his own time. But he realised that this man comes at 9 am with a ready script and his cameras are placed beforehand. He too began coming on time. Shammiji and Goldie struck a great rapport. Aaja aaja and Oh haseena zulfonwali will always be remembered for their energy, Shammiji playing a musician in the film. O mere sona re is my favourite because through the song Goldie played interestingly with Shammiji’s briefcase. Later, Johny Mera Naam (1970), an entertainer, further proved Goldie’s versatility. In Pal bhar ke liye… Goldie played with the windows, where the persistent lover (Dev saab) finally woos the heroine (Hema Malini).

A film that remained close to Goldie’s heart was Tere Mere Sapne (1971, based on AJ Cronin’s The Citadel). He was hurt that the ‘sensitive’ film was not a commercial success. It was the story of human relationships amidst materialism. Goldie met doctors to understand the authentic body language for his doctor protagonist (Dev Anand). The songs were unique too. Mumtaz sings Radha ne maala japi when she accepts the hero’s marriage proposal. Hey maine kasam li was filmed on Dev saab and Mumtaz on a bicycle. Jeevan ki bagiya was shot in close-ups and established their intimacy. But the less heard Mera antar ek mandir, a song, which hinted at conceiving a baby, was Goldie favourite. Goldie liked Nutan and Waheeda for their expressive eyes. He found Nanda to be a fine artiste as much as he liked Asha Parekh for her naughtiness. But in Mumtaz, he saw a great dancer and actress. Basically, he liked simplicity in a woman.

My favourite in Blackmail (1973) is Mile mile do badan. It’s the first time that the couple (Dharmendra-Raakhee) have come together. They’re hiding among the wood pile in the jungle even as dogs are sent to hunt them. The danger and intimacy makes the song beautiful. Pal pal dil ke saath is romantic because of the dreamy picturistaion. He directed some more films like Chhupa Rustom (1973), Ram Balram (1980) and Rajput (1982) but didn’t meet with much success. He also happened to act Kora Kagaz(1974) and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan ki (1978), which were huge hits. Goldie was proud of his later films Hum Rahe Na Hum (1984), a relationship saga that featured him with Rehana Sultan and Shabana Azmi and Jaana Na Dil Se Door with newcomers. Sadly, he couldn’t release them and that left him dejected. He’d say, “Perhaps, my time is over.”

THE MAN Goldie and I got married in 1978 during the shoot of Ram Balram. We cared for each other to the extent that we wanted to get married. He liked my simplicity. I understood his temperament. He rarely lost his cool. I was the one who’d lose my temper. I was crazier. I’d deliberately do things to annoy him. Sometimes, he manaoed (cajoled) me, sometimes I manoed him. Yes, women did throw themselves at him. But I never felt jealous or insecure. Rather, I’d tease him, “Main dekh rahi hoon! Maze karo! Enjoy yourself.” He rarely complimented me but when he did it made me happy. He liked me in sarees and sometimes picked up sarees and pieces of jewellery for me.

We loved to travel. Our best holiday was in Hampstead in London just after our marriage. There were theatres across the road. We shopped a lot. Once when we were in Europe, he quietly slipped out. “Yeh lene gaya tha,” he said later showing me a sweater he had bought for me.

He had a passion for ballroom dancing, waltz and fox trot. As a youngster, he’d travel from Chetan saab’s shack to a school in Colaba to learn waltz. He did a dance with Bindu in Chupa Rustom. The song Joh main hota ek toota tara was filmed on the bonnet of a car. He also loved shirts. He’d pick a dozen at a time. He was fond of watches and cologne and had grown fond of horses when he was working with Kalyanji Anandji.

Chetan saab’s shot division was superb. But Chetan saab changed things on the set, he was spontaneous. While Goldie went fully prepared. That’s why actors understood they couldn’t fool with him. They understood he meant business.

Goldie liked Guru Dutt’s realism, Raj Kapoor’s glamour and the existentialism in the works of Satyajit Ray. Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960) by Ritwik Ghatak was his favourite. But as a filmmaker he didn’t want to make realistic movies. He’d say, “This is a media for entertainment!” Goldie was not fond of drinks and nursed a peg throughout the evening. Rather, he was interested in spirituality and astronomy. He had read all religious books – the Gita, the Bible, the Upanishads, the Koran… He became a disciple of Osho Rajneesh but reached a dead end when he couldn’t find answers. Then he met UG Krishnamurthy (spiritual guru) in whom he found solace. UG once said, “If anyone, anywhere has understood me, it’s Goldie.” Instead of revolting, he accepted life as it came. He was against pretence. He never missed his past glory. He’d say it was a closed chapter. He didn’t want to write his biography. He believed, “Joh hoga so hogaya. My work will speak for itself.”

Towards the end he had developed a heart problem. Vaibhav had assisted him in Jaana Na Hum Se Door and then went off to attend a filmmaking course at the Lee Strasburg Institute in New York. Vaibhav returned in January 2004. Goldie passed away in February 2004. In fact, having some knowledge of astrology Goldie had predicted that February 2004 was a bad month for him. His only regret was that he couldn’t do much for our son Vaibhav, who’s inherited his sensibilities. After he passed away you do tend to get isolated. But it’s fine. I’ve taken to singing – something I was always interested in. And in my circle of friends I often sing Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai…

YOU MUST KNOW…

Taxi Driver was inspired by Hollywood’s noir movement

Nau Do Gyarah was an urban thriller/road film with elements borrowed from Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night (1934).

Vijay Anand filmed Aaja panchi akela hai in a constricted space (a room and a toilet!) in Nau Do Gyarah. The film’s other hits were Hum hain rahi pyar ke and Aankhon mein kya ji.

Rhim jhim ke tarane (Kala Bazar) is remembered for Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman under an umbrella!

In Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, Anand used camera tricks where Dev Anand imagines Nutan inside his drink! Then Dev’s aide puts an ice cube into the glass causing Nutan to shiver!

Hum Dono with Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics and Jaidev’s music gave the immortal gems Allah tero naam and Abhi na jaao choddh kar.

Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai (Guide) had Waheeda dancing along the ledge of the temple while Tere mere sapne was canned in just three shots.

RD Burman’s rock n roll inspired score in Teesri Manzil gave Shammi Kapoor his rockstar image.

Jewel Thief’s Hothon pe aisi baat had Vyjayanthimala gliding through an entire stanza in one take.

Johny Mera Naam had Hema Malini riding on a cable T-bar on Dev Aand’s lap

The great music and picturisation of Anand’s films can largely be credited to composer SD Burman, lyricist Shailendra and cinematographer Fali Mistry who translated his vision.

Today marks the 15th death anniversary of Goldie Vijay Anand - a cineaste influencing a whole generation of filmmakers as a writer-director ahead of his time. Vijay Anand was born on 22 January 1934 in Gurdaspur, Punjab and was the youngest of the four Anand siblings, including producer and director Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, a very popular Bollywood actor. He is also known as Goldie Anand was an Indian filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, editor, and actor, who is known for acclaimed films like Guide (1965) and Johnny Mera Naam (1970). He made most of his films for the in-house banner Navketan Films. Though Vijay Anand has had a career as an actor, screenwriter, editor, and producer, he will primarily be remembered as a director. In 1957, he made his directorial debut with Nau Do Gyarah, which he shot in 40 days. Some of his successful movies as a director are Johny Mera Naam (1970), Jewel Thief (1967), Teesri Manzil (1966), Kala Bazar (1960), Ram Balram, Rajput. Teesri Manzil, which he made for producer Nasir Hussain, was his first non-Navketan film as a director. This was followed by Tere Ghar Ke Saamne (1963), Tere Mere Sapne (1971) and Guide (1965). Guide, starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman is Vijay Anand's most critically acclaimed movie. It is based on R.K. Narayan's novel The Guide. Navketan attempted an international release of a remake of Guide without much success. Vijay Anand is known for his stylish song picturization, like 'O Haseena' (Teesri Manzil), 'Kaaton Se Keech' (Guide) and 'Honthon Mein Aisi Baat' numbers (Jewel Thief) As an actor, his most memorable roles were in films Haqeeqat (1964), Kora Kagaz (1974), in which he starred opposite Jaya Bachchan, and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978). To the younger generation of the 1990s, he is also known for playing detective Sam in the television series Tehkikaat (1994). He served a short stint as the chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification, India's censor board, a position from which he resigned, in 2002, after he ran into ideological differences with the government over the introduction of ratings for adult movies. Goldie as he was affectionately called died on 23 February 2004 due to a heart attack.
