Simple Kapadia Passes Away

15 August 1958 – 10 November 2009

The sadder thing then her desmise is that with her passing there hasnt been any mention of her anywhere, no major website has posted of her passing. It's true what they "Out of sight out of mind."

Anybody Know the Song

Does anybody know the song that plays in the beginning of this commercial. I have heard it before but I don't know where, so if somebody could help me out it would be awesome.

Nanak Nam Jahaz Hai LP

Ok, yesterday i bought the LP of the punjbai movie 'Nanank Nam Jahaz Hai' 1969. In this film there are at least two songs that i know about, one is "Bul tere ne Chandigarh de" and the other one is "Hada ni". but in the lp both of the songs aren't there. The album is fully comprised of Shabads. So i wanted to know that were the songs ever released on vinyl and why aren't they on this lp.

Update

Another update, this time it's the wedding album. I got some duper rare pics this time around. In this album you will find wedding pics of Mala Sinha, Zeenat Aman, Guru Dutt, Sanjay & Richa Dutt, Babita and so forth.

Alaap's Influence on Dil

I was just browsing around on the internet trying to find some Mohd. Siddiq and Ranjit Kaur records and I came upon a blog called 'Punjabi Folk Singers'. On the blog there is a post about how the music for "Mujhe Neend Na" from the superhit film 'Dil' was lifted from a punjabi band calle Alaap. Here is the link for the post and it also has music clips.

Can You Figure Out Who This Guy Is?

I'm not going to give you any clues, just the picture because if I give you clues it will become very apperent who this guy is. Let's see if you movie buffs can figure this one out.

Please help me Identify these movies

ok, i have been watching hindi movies since i can remember and a few of them have been stuck in my head but only fragments and piece's and i cannot remember the movies, so if you guys could help me out



First Movie:



the first bit of movie i remeber is about a guy (there are a lot of guys in the movie) who drinks a lot, and the doctors tell him to stop because his liver is messed up hand he will die if he even has a drop to drink, then later on in the mivoe the bad guys tie him up and forcibly pour the alchol down his throat.



Another piece that i remeber from the same movie is that a stampede of horses get loose and start to run and in there path is a child, the heroine see's this and jumps on top of the child, then afterwards the hero jumps on top of the child and heroine and the horses trample over them.



Second movie



Has the above guy in it and he plays alawyer who gives advicce to a guy on how to rape a girl without getting caught, and the guy does and in the end it turns out the girl was the lawyers daughter, in the end the hero/villian dies. This movie is called 'Sanam Harjai'.

Kishore Kumar A Sikh?

On complete side note doesn't Kishore Kumar look like Mohnish Behl here?

We all know that Kishore Kumar is Bengali but while I was browsing the net I came across this article ( posted by Flexon 001) about Yogeeta Bali and Kishore Kumar's wedding. In the article it says that Kishore converted to Sikhism (Yogeeta is a Sikh) in order to marry Yogeeta in Sikh ceremony. I'm a Sikh myself and I'm pretty sure you do not need to change your religon in order to get married according Sikh customs and rites. If Kishore indeed did do this did he convert back when he divorced? All in all this is an awsome read!

Here's the link for the article:

Check out Shammi Kapoor & Mehmood at the wedding, is Dara Singh the guy sitting behind Shammi?

Rekha & Amitabh Bachchan

Ok, so we all know about how back in the day Rekha and Amitabh had a thing, right? But whenever you ask these two they always vehemently deny everything and anything and say it's all media created. If it is all media created then could somebody please answer these questions:

1) Why haven't they worked in a movie together since 1981, Silsla?(They have appeared in the same movies after this but they did not have any scenes together and one or the other always did a guest appearance.)

2) Why do they avoid each other at all functions or public places?

One of the most talked about moments of the night. Why couldn't Amitabh just sit there and say hello. The release of Sarkar, complety ignores her presence. Amitabh should at laest pose properly for the picture, we can see you are together you idiot!

3) Why are they always in a hurry to end a question where the other person's name arises?
Honest to god it really makes me mad when they do this because they should at least have the guts to say that they had a relationship together and now its over, why are they so reluctant to do this?

Look at how close they are to eachother! I don't think Amitabh has taken such pictures with any other actress, not even his wife!

Amitabh made it very apparent at the recent Filmfare awards that he did not want anything to do with her, when he walked away when she came over to say hi. Like its so bad between these two that they can't even say hello? Man this makes me mad!

Feroz Khan

May his soul R.I.P.

Updates Made

I have added more pics to the Movies section, so do check them out!

A look back at what happened in 1971

Came across this while I was surfing the net:

FTII Gold Medalist Jaya Bhaduri steals the show in the title role of Guddi.

Zeenat Aman debuts in OP Ralhan’s Hulchul. However, she creates a sensation in the role of a drug-addict in Dev Anand’s Hare Rama Hare Krishna, and a star is born. (Motwali was dead on about this one!)

In Gulzar’s Mere Apne about student unrest, Meena Kumari, in the central role, shows the right path to Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha.

Kamal Amrohi’s long-in-the-making Pakeezah, a slow starter, picks up later to become an all-time hit. Music by Ghulam Mohammed and Naushad is soul-stirring.( Om guessing this was written before Meena died)

Ramesh Sippy’s Andaz (Shammi Kapoor, Hema Malini) taps the unusual theme of a widow falling in love.

Rajesh Khanna has the women audience swooning in Amar Prem. Sharmila Tagore co-stars.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Budha Mil Gaya (Om Prakash, Navin Nischol) is a gripping suspense film.

“Piyaa tu ab to aaja....” , the catchy song from Nasir Husain’s Caravan is responsible for the film’s success. (I liked the story of this movie it has more going for it besides this song)

Haathi Mere Saathi (Rajesh Khanna and Tanuja) is one of the biggest hits of the year. The title song is on everyone’s lips. (I thought that the song on everybody's lips would be "Mere Dil Ke Chain")

Three generations of the Kapoor family, Prithviraj, Raj and Randhir, star in the semi-autobiographical Kal Aaj Aur Kal, ably directed by young Randhir.

Laal Patthar is noteworthy for Hema Malini’s chilling performance as the over-possessive lover. Raaj Kumar, Raakhee, Vinod Mehra co-starrer.

Sunil Dutt’s Reshma Aur Shera beautifully shot, mainly in the deserts, wins accolades. (Too bad it didn't do well commercially)

Raakhee’s contrasting double roles in Sharmilee win acclaim. So does SD Burman’s hummable music.

Vijay Anand’s success streak continues with Tere Mere Sapne (Dev Anand, Mumtaz).

Mani Kaul’s experimental Uski Roti wins critical acclaim. (Havent heard of this film)

The Dadasaheb Phalke stamp is issued.

The film industry goes all out to boost national war efforts.

Music director Jaikishen, filmmakers K Asif, Debaki Bose and K Subramanian and Malayalam star Satyan pass away. ( So many greats died in one year)

Updates Made

I have just uploaded new pics to the Vintage Actress gallery, so do check them out. I personally think that the actress' from the 40' and 50's are a lot more beautiful then the ones from th60's and 70's. Plus do help me identify the last few actress' of the album!

Oh and if Kanan is reading this, Thanx a lot for helping me out with the names of the actresses!

Hamara Dharam

Does anybody have this full video? I didn't even now that this documentary existed until I saw it on "Dus Ka Dum" and if you try to search it up on Google nothing comes up. If someone has it could they upload it to youtube or even better give a link to download it! I know that a lot of people would love to watch this! In this video they start to talk about it at 0:31 and then they show a clip, Could someone please show us the rest!

Killing my boredom with Colorization: Part 2

Ok so here is the second set of pictures that i have colored, personally i believe these pictures are ten times better then the one's before! P.S. thanks for all of the lovely comments on the last post.

I really liked the outcome of this one too

I did this one again because Igot some yellow on her blouse so I decided to redo it.

This one is my absolute favorite, it came out really, really good.

Here I tried to color her skin also, it turned out pretty good.

Happy New Year

Hope everybody has a great and successful year and thanks for visiting, this blog through out the last year!
