[Untitled] Khayyam and Jaidev's relationship with Mohammad Rafi | Rafians ...: If you remember my article on RD Burman and Rafi, there was strong criticism in respect of their relationship, but no one could rebut my opinion that RD Burman had background of classical music but he seldom used it other than Gulzar’s films like Parichay, Kinara, etc., or Shekhar Kapoor’s films like Masoom. But point to be noted is that at least he had acknowledged the talent of Bhupinder Singh in these films who had been given chance only by giants like Madanmohan in Haqeekat, Mausam, Jaidev in Gharonda, Dooriyan, Khayyam in Bazar.

[Untitled] Short is sweet for today’s film-makers - Marketing and Media ...: However, in contrast to LoC: Kargil (2003), the longest ever Bollywood film at 4 hours and 15 minutes, and Mera Naam Joker (1970), starring Raj Kapoor, which ran for 4 hours and 4 minutes, producers today are looking to limit the length of films to about 2 hours and 15 minutes, with this year’s UTV-produced A Wednesday running for just 1 hour and 40 minutes.

[Untitled] Bangladesh copying the Taj Mahal : It’s Indiatime: We should be thankful Shah Jehan built his wife’s tomb in Agra and not somewhere in Kashmir, a place he is said to have fallen in love with. I’m just surprised none of India’s politicians has yet thought of building pyramids in their memories (It’s not that our politicians aren’t aware of pyramid schemes).

[Social Media Profile. Lessons from women Insurance leader!] A women insurance leader's story: Ironically, when her documentary (titled Raj Kapoor, the Living Legend ) was telecast for the first time on Indian television, Papa was battling for his life at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, oscillating between what sciences could offer and what destiny had designed for him. There was a lot that even I, Raj Kapoor s daughter had discovered about the legend, through this wonderful documentary and I was certain that Simi would do a great book.

[Untitled] Dancing to the Tunes of Bollywood in Prague ! : IntentBlog: Obviously the masters like Guru Dutt, Ritwik Ghatak, and to some extent Raj Kapoor and Mehboob Khan, and present day directors like Mani Ratnam, Shekhar Kapoor, Ashutosh Gowarikar are creating good work using the form. But the bulk of them are plain mediocre and worse.

[Untitled] Filmi Geek: Jodhaa-Akbar (2008): In some respects, he reminds me of Raj Kapoor back in the day - he too had some wonderfully interesting shots: for example, in Aag's Zinda Huun Is Tara, when the camera repeatedly pulls into Nargis sitting in the corner of that illuminated window - GENIUS!

[Untitled] Mohommad Rafi - The legend continues - Part I: While Mukesh was yet to establish himself as the permanent voice of the showman Raj Kapoor ( Manna Dey came to be exploited much later ), Talat was still the thespian Dilip Kumar’s first choice. The irony was that both these singers were the top choices for the ruling heroes’

[girish] Cinephile Accounting: Old vs. New: perhaps not among the cinephiles (which are usually too exclusively involved in films, when they should be interested in almost everything, from economics or politics to history, painting, all sorts of music and all kinds of narrative). But in this very good book, which has some of the best and most original pages ever written about John Ford, without ever using the accursed word "auteur", I think Reed easily (and quite obviously and matter-of-factly) explains (or rather, shows)what this means, when it is seriously applied and truly meaningful, instead of being merely a feather in the cap of our most beloved filmmakers or our own particular "discoveries" (which in every case someone else discovered much earlier) among the old directors.
