Each one coming from a different worlds and cultures, each one bringing a new and different dimension to each other. It's like the ring - two different metals molded into one.

Milestones of Indian Cinema -Mother India
2008-01-03 18:33:00 Mehboob Khan’s Oscar nominated Mother India was much more than a successful films it was a Nehruvian tale of a young nation and its beliefs. For Khan through his retelling of a previous film titled Aurat, wanted to showcase the Indian belief in the nobility of womanhood and through it narrate a heartwarming tale of love and sacrifice. Radha (Nargis) an old woman narrates her stor of pain and suffering. Her blissful married life is short and tragic since the family has to work extremely hard to pay off the moneylender Sukhilala (Kanhaiyalal). Her hardworking husband (Raj Kumar) loses both his arms in an accident and unable to bear the thought of being a burden to the already suffering family, abandons them. There on its all about Radha’s struggle to raise her children while fending off financial as well as sexual pressures from Sukhilala. Out of the three sons one dies in a flood, the second, Ramu (Rajendra Kumar) grows to be a dutiful son while the third Birju (Sunil Dut...
Milestones of Indian Cinema- Jai Santoshi Maa
2008-01-03 18:30:00 1970s was a decade of turmoil as frustrations began to grow among the urban population, especially among the youths, over issues concerning politics and the socio economic changes that rocked India as a nation. This period saw films like: ?Ankur’, ?Deewar’, ?Kalpurush’ etc portraying this growing sense of anger of the people. ?Jai Santoshi Maa’, going completely against this flow, set a new trend, the reason of which still baffles the critics. Though the film was a journey back to the initial days of Mythological genre, the film nevertheless was a runaway hit and cinema halls used to get transformed into temporary temples by the millions of religious film lovers. This film, many say, had added Santoshi Maa to the already filled up list of billions of divinity existing in the Hindu religion. This mythological film narrates the story of a young wife, who after facing several hardships and by Santoshi Maa’s grace of course, finally gets her husband back. T...
Milestones of Indian Cinema - Kabhi Kabhi
2008-01-03 18:28:00 Kabhi Kabhi’ (1976) is one of Yash Chopra’s many memorable films of the 1970s. Known for its complex plot, the film is a romantic story of two lovers -Amit Malhotra and Pooja Khanna. They split up and then meet again as friends some two decades later. There is an interesting sub plot concerning their next generation, which makes ?Kabhi Kabhi’ more complex. The story has a happy ending though- with the unrequited lovers meeting again, following a dramatic chain of events. Rumors have it that Yash Chopra came up with the concept of this film while he was reading a poem by Sahir Ludhianvi (lyricist of this film). With its huge star cast of Amitabh Bachhan, Shashi Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor among others, this film proved to be a huge box office hit. The title song of this film is very popular even today.Amit (Amitabh Bachhan) who is a poet is deeply in love with Pooja (Raakhee Gilzar). The couple decides to marry. However, owing to the pressure of her father, Pooja reluctant...
Milestones of Indian Cinema - Deewaar
2008-01-03 18:25:00 Often regarded as a milestone in Amitabh’s career, ?Deewaar’ (directed by Yash Chopra) is one of the most successful representatives of Amitabh’s ?angry young man’ persona. The film exudes the anger of a man who takes to crime due to the uncaring attitude of the society and takes revenge by twisting every norm that the society has set. The narrative is a dramatic tussle between two brothers, Vijay (Amitabh Bachhan) and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor). Amitabh played a smuggler in this film, playing the cat and mouse game with his own police officer brother Ravi. Their mother is torn by the dilemma to choose one of his sons. She ultimately chooses the law upholding son. In the end, the conflict gets resolved with the victory of law and order over crime as Vijay is shot dead by Ravi. This film is interesting for several reasons. On one hand it deals with the exploitive management of the mill who are in fact responsible for what Vijay later in his life becomes. ?Deewaar&rs...

Milestones of Indian Cinema Alam Ara
2008-01-03 18:21:00 Alam Ara was the first talkie of India after a long silent film era pioneered by Raja Harishchandra. This talkie was produced by the Imperial film Company. It was directed by Ardershir Irani and was released in 1931. The movie gave the Indian cinema not only sounds but the first Indian singer of Indian film industry, W M Khan. Hitherto, songs in the films were played by a live audience in the theatre itself. Since there were no dialogues in the film the music cut off the monotony of the film.Alam Ara, however, had dialogues and was popular because of it’s dialogues. The film had seven songs. During this era songs were recorded live as the recording system was not as sophisticated as it is today. Singers used to hide themselves behind the trees or sets or below the artists. There was a minimalist use of musical equipments. There was no dialogue writers and lyricists in the initial phase. Most of the films during this era dealt with human sacrifices, women’s liberation and...
Milestones of Indian Cinema -Raja Harishchandra
2008-01-03 18:18:00 Raja Harishchandra- The First Indian Full Length Feature Film This 1913 silent Indian film by Dadasaheb Phalke holds the distinction of being India’s first full length feature film. Based on the legend of Harishchandra, recounted in Ramayana and Mahabharata, this film gave birth to an industry which was to become the largest of its kind in the world. The germ of this film was born four years before the release of the film itself. After viewing ?The Life of Jesus Christ? in Bombay (Mumbai) Phalke said to himself -"Like the Life of Christ we shall make pictures on Rama and Krishna?. Armed with a Williamson camera, a perforating machine, developing and printing equipment and some raw stock Phalke set out for a hitherto untaken road. Very soon he launched what was to be a landmark in the history of Indian Cinema, Raja Harishchandra. This film was based on the mythological tale about an honest king who prioritizes his principles above everything and sacrifices his kingdom and ...
Milestones of Indian Cinema -Sholay
2008-01-03 18:15:00 Sholay is much more than Bollywood’s most successful commercial film ever, it is in many ways Bollywood’s psychological touchstone. Which is why all the subsequent Hindi Mega Successes might have raked in the moolah but never ever quite achieved the stature of this iconic film. Its detractors have often described Sholay as a ?curry? western. Some say it was ’patterned’ on American spaghetti westerns, but what sets it apart from many such other inspired products is the fact that the director Ramesh Sippy incorporates interesting innovations to what may seem like a run of the mill revenge drama. He obviously Indianineses the Western Format by adding songs, romance and comedy through engaging subplots, but also keeps a tight grip the main plot. The ambiance of the film might have been Indian but the storytelling is definitely western. The film narrates the story of an ex-cop Thakur Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar) who hires two jailed con men (Amitabh Bachchan and D...
