INDIES TOP 136 FILMS OF SOUTH ASIAN CINEMA’S 2 GREATEST ACTRESSES - MEENA KUMARI (77 FILMS) & SUCHITRA SEN (59 FILMS) !
A separate Indie playlist, to honour the 2 most popular, highest acclaimed, & widely regarded greatest of all actresses, of the entire Indian & South Asian diaspora – Meena Kumari & Suchitra Sen ! 2 very different actresses in style & school, yet that imbibed the same core depth & ability to penetrate audience imagination & leave them blessed with new vibrant spirit & higher ethos, & even greater admiration for the feminine energy in art. That combined with their eclectic body of work encompassing, one imagines an entire spectrum of female art & life in society at it’s very finest. And even where Hindi audiences at Indies may’ve had a fair taste of Meena jis’s work already, from the various decades lists on Indies Yt page, a great time to view it all in never-before singular artist-based perspective, as well as get enlightened on, in Indie reckoning, the 2nd greatest screen-pair of Indian cinema, Uttam Kumar & Suchitra Sen, the eternal royalty of Bangla cinema for no lesser than 3/4th century, a screen-pair that single-handedly redefined Bangla cinema & raised it to the highest respect & hysterical adulation back in 1950s & 1960s, amassing a veritable treasure house of ‘soul cinema’, a diamond era in Bengali motion art, that saw them competing for highest accolades with no lesser than Satyajit Ray’s brand of ‘life-defining movies’, a divine screen-pairing with Uttam that btw forms nearly 3/4th of Suchitra ji’s life work too. Watch the greatest, in their finest!

Nayanthara is in talks to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra:
Several sources claim that Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt will star in the film. Baiju Bawra is one of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's passion projects, which he has yet to publicly reveal with the principal cast members. Several sources claim that Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt will star in the film, which follows their past collaborations on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Gully Boy. According to reports, Nayanthara is also in talks to join the Bhansali film.
According to a report, Nayanthara has been approached for a key role in Baiju Bawra. She made her Bollywood debut in Shah Rukh Khan's recent blockbuster Jawan. She appears to be thinking about the idea but has yet to sign on the dotted line. While there has been no confirmation, the actress was purportedly seen at Bhansali's office with her spouse Vignesh Shivan in March of this year. Vijay Bhatt directed the 1952 film Baiju Bawra, starring Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari. Baiju Bawra, which translates as 'Crazy Baiju,' is the story of a musician named Baiju who makes it his life's ambition to overcome the legendary vocalist Tansen in a musical competition for a profound personal cause. Tansen was one of Emperor Akbar's nine jewels, and conquering him was thought to be near impossible.

"मैं शकील दिल का हूं तर्जुमा मोहब्बतों का हूं राजदां मुझे फ़ख्र है मेरी शायरी मेरी जिंदगी से जुदा नहीं। ”
Tributes to Shakeel Badayuni, one of the greatest lyricists and poets of Hindi cinema, on his birth anniversary. (03/08)
Geetkar-e-Azam' was born at Badayun in UP in 1916. Sensing his fascination for Sher-o-shayari at an early age, his father arranged for his training in Arabic, Persian, Urdu & Hindi. In times when most poets were writing about social issues, political turmoil and national consciousness, Shakeel was more love and romanticism.
He moved to Bombay in 1944 and was given a break by Naushad with Dard in 1947. All the songs he wrote for 'Dard' were an instant hit; especially the song 'Afasan Likh Rahi Hun' sung by Uma Devi (Tun Tun). It was with Naushad that he came into his own giving masterpieces one after another.
He worked in over 25 films with Naushad, most of which were musical blockbusters. Mela, Dard, Dastan, Amar, Deedar, Dillagi, Uran Khatola, Leader, Dil Diya Dard Liya, Mughal e Azam, Kohinoor, Ram Aur Shyam, Aadmi. However the most important onewas their earliest combo; the artistic musical milestone like Baiju Bawra (1952) with its stunning combination of folk and ragdari in 'Tu Ganga Ki Mauj', 'O Duniya Ke Rakhwale', 'Man Tadpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj', 'Mohe Bhool Gaye Saawariya' and the duet between two classical stalwarts, Pt. D.V. Paluskar and Ustad Amir Khan - 'Aaj Gaawat Man Mero''. Besides this they gave numerous timeless classics and chartbusters songs like 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' (Mughal-E-Azam), 'Madhuban Mein Radhika Naache Re' (Kohinoor), 'Gaaye Jaa Geet Milan Ke' (Mela), 'O Door Ke Musafir' (Uran Khatola), 'Nain Lad Jaihe' (Ganga Jumna), 'Saawan Aaye Ya Na Aaye' (Dil Diya Dard Liya), 'Aaj Mere Man Mein Sakhi' (Aan), 'Mere Mehboob Tujhe' (Mere Mehboob) and 'Mere Pairon Mein Ghunghroo' from their last film together, 'Sungharsh' Besides Naushad he also created some masterpieces with other music directors and gave us films with Ravi like 'Gharana, Ghungat, Grahasti, Phool Aur Patthar, Do Badan and again that immortal song 'Chudhavika Chand Ho' His all time melodies with Hemant Kumar of 'Bees Saal Baad', 'Sahin Biwi Aur Ghulam' & 'Bin Badal Barsaat'? Or with S D Burman in 'Kaise Kahoon' & 'Benazir' or C.Ramachandra with 'Zindagi Aur Maut', 'Wahan Ke Log' or with Roshan in 'Bedaag',& 'Noorjahan There is so much that can be written about him, but words will not suffice. At last all we can say is
“ये झिंदगी के मेले, दुनिया में कम ना होंगे....अफसोस हम न होंगे"

OF 1963: THE YEAR THAT CHANGED MEENA KUMARI FOREVER! ... OF 'OPERATION MEENA KUMARI' IE THE 'OPERATION CHINESE WHISPERS' !
Pradeep Kumari once, in fact many a times, described Meena Kumari as "the nicest person he'd ever met" & "a veritable angel on earth". Even going on to add, "I don't think there is any person on earth who couldn't fall in love with Meena Kumari".
The media narrative around Meena Kumari was always very sober & dignified & respectful. Till 1962.
You see Meena Kumari was always a very big star, from 1952 (& 'Baiju Bawra') yet not in a league of her own, but in the very top rung with 2-3 other actresses.
But her cinematic career took on a whole different trajectory in 1961, when the film 'Bhabhi Ki Chudiyan' released, & "The Bollywood Goddess" was born!
In many expert & mass assessments till today, one of the greatest performances by a female on celluloid, in history ever!
This was followed by 1962, with 3 more legendary performances in 'Main Chup Rahungi', 'Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam' & 'Aarti', & March 1963's 'Dil Ek Mandir', & within a gap of exactly 2 yrs & 5 Films, 4 of which are in The Forever All-Time Top 50 of Indian Cinema, Meena Kumari had gone from sure-shot No. 3 Of All Time, to, the most likely 'FOREVER NO. 1 ACTRESS OF INDIAN CINEMA", infact challenging the WORLD NO. 1 tag too!
Such was her craze & hold on public imagination then, that Filmfare did something they've never ever done for anyone else till today ever! - They nominated her in all the nomination slots for 'Best Actress" that year, as a mark of salutation, & as a statement indicating the "Crowning of Bollywood's First Queen nee First Female Megastar"!
Wonderful. But scary.
The reason this was or atleast should've been very scary & a warning sign for Meena Kumari, is that 'Bollywood Estt' or 'Deep state Bollywood', & the faction or rival groups that control it, akin to the criminal underworld, if we know anything till today, doesn't give free lunches, & extracts much more than it gives! .. If they were heaping away so much free historic praise upon her, were impossibly unlikely to try leave anyone even with the potential to overrule their dictat or narrative hold over the masses, & were sure to quietly bts extract more than their pound of flesh too!
AND A RANSOM WAS SOON PLACED ON HER REPUTATION, WITHIN THE FRATERNITY, WITH REGULAR REWARDS FOR THOSE THAT SUCCEEDED!
And that's when, mysteriously enuf by 1964, Dharmendra entered her film life, & via it, her life in general! Film magazines all of a sudden sprang to life, & news of "the crazy uncontrollable affair btwn Meen & Dharam" made it to all film headlines, to be continued in same vein for good more yrs thereafter. Stuff like "Dharmendra arrived at a airport one night all drunk, & upon being stopped, shouted, "Oh but I must get back to Bombay, I must. Meena is waiting for me!" were actually splashed all over the next morning's papers. Even further, of things like how Meena got so agitated in a outdoor shoot seeing her Dharmendra not sitting with her on way to the location, & having gone by another entourage car, stopped her car, & went to the middle of the road, sat on the road & started loudly repeating "Where is my Dharam! Oh where is my Dharam!", were being read by the Indian masses & classes on a daily basis now on. Going a step further, they even created fist fights & slapping incidents btwn the 2, & how she'd be regularly restraining her lover from brawling in drunken fights over her, were now the new norm. They then, took it to a tangential emotional plane, by renaming her "The Tragedy Queen", even in real life, equating her performances with some necessary strain in her own life. People began regularly being witness to Dharam entering Meena's room everytime, & leaving w/o fail in a sobbing state, & when asked about this reaction, saying things like "I just cant help it!". They even went after her husband,labeling her a wife-hater, & of how he egoistically once refused to hold Meena's purse, got publicly enraged at being called Meena Kumari's husband, etc etc. And how his secretary'd manhandle Meena & refuse her freedom. All false!
IT WAS THIS RELENTLESS MEDIA WAR DIRECTED AT THE COUPLE, WITH NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE TO SHOW FOR EVEN ONCE, THAT TOOK IT'S TOLL ON KAMAL OVER COUPLE OF YRS, FORCING HIM TO DECIDE TO LEAVE MEENA'S LIMELIGHT, TILL THIS OUTSIDE MADNESS CONTINUED.
Anyone with half a assessment, can see how Kamal's entire professional life,revolved around & was devoted to making her wife the best!
This was the final straw! & Meena took to drinking to numb herself to the world, determined to not lose & to continue working at her best. Do you know, 'deep state' even took away her most personal possessions, in return for her continuing career!?
Sadly,she didn't have the arms or tactfulness of Rajesh, to carry on next 18 yrs, nonetheless managing good 6-7 yrs within this 'golden solitary confinement Bolly jail' at the top!
(Watch Polanski's 'The Tenant'(76), for better feel on how this troll/suicide army works!)
Of the supreme sacrifices, India's legends made, to leave us awe-inspiring cultural history & worldly life lessons too.

While the actor to play the crazily talented singer Baiju in the love story Baiju Bawra is yet to be decided, Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is remaking the musical classic Baiju Bawra has zeroed in on his second-favourite actress (Aishawarya Rai Bachchan being the first) to play Baiju’s love interest Gauri.
The role was originally played by Meena Kumari in 1952’s Baiju Bawra directed by Vijay Bhatt. Sources say Bhansali feels Deepika comes closest to conveying the dignity and tragic grandeur of Meena Kumari.
“Of course, the role of Gauri would be very different now. But the essence of the character remains unchanged,” informs the source.
Also, it seems the heroine’s role in Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra would be significantly increased. Meena Kumari, in the original, didn’t have that much to do. The entire focus was on Bharat Bhushan as the commoner who usurps the legendary singer Tansen from Emperor Akbar’s durbar. Not so in Bhansali’s re-make.

Remembering Naushad: From devotional to playfully romantic, a playlist of his popular songs - music
https://www.liveindiatimes.com/remembering-naushad-from-devotional-to-playfully-romantic-a-playlist-of-his-popular-songs-music/
Tuesday marks the death anniversary of legendary musician Naushad, who was born as Naushad Ali in Lucknow on 25 December 1919. Having made a brilliant career in film music, Naushad had also been conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (1981) and the Padma Bhushan (1992).
Naushad used to watch silent films in a Lucknow theatre where he learnt the art of background music – he also worked with the team of musicians hired to play instruments while the silent films played onscreen. However, Naushad’s conservative father considered music as a useless hobby and once even threw his harmonium out of the house, asking young Naushad to choose between his home and music. It was then that Naushad picked up his harmonium and decided to go to Mumbai. However, he did not have the money and it is said that a friend gave him Rs 25 for the ticket to Mumbai in 1937, as per an Amar Ujala report.

After spending several nights on the footpath, Naushad was spotted by a producer who took him to musician Hussain Khan who hired Naushad for Rs 15 per month. However, Naushad’s first film as an independent music director was only in 1940, Prem Nagar, while his first musically successful film was 1944’s Rattan. In his entire career, Naushad delivered a number of musical gems including the iconic Mughal-E-Azam and Baiju Bawara. The musician worked in several films and among these, he had musical hits – 35 of these had silver jubilee, 12 had golden jubilee and three completed diamond jubilee.
One of the most interesting anecdotes Naushad loved to share was about his marriage. Even after his first musical hit, his family remained against his choice of career. Naushad often that the band party would play his songs and his father and father-in-law kept criticizing the musician who made those songs. National Herald reported Naushad as quoting his father-in-law, “Such songs are ruining this society. The person who has made this song should be beaten with shoes.” After working in films for decades, Naushad died on May 5, 2006.
In his vast career, Naushad did a variety of songs across all genres from romantic to devotional. Here is a look at some of his most famous songs:
1. Ankhiya Mila Ke Jiya Bharma ke Chale Nahi Jana (Rattan 1940)

2. Nain Lad Jayi Hain (Gunga Jumna, 1961)

Tabassum was a popular child actress in her time. Her childhood was truly golden having shared the screen presence with stalwarts like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Tabassum’s celluloid debut was at the young age of three, as child actor Baby Tabassum; she would play the young Meena Kumari in Baiju Bawra (1952). The song "Bachpan ke din bhoola na dena" (Deedar, 1952) filmed on her remains a reminder of the era when as Baby Tabassum she reigned the marquee.
'Phool Khile Hai Gulshan Gulshan', the longest-running talk show on Indian television, aired on Doordarshan from 1972 to 1993, was hosted by Tabassum. It featured almost every actor, director, music composer, singer, producer and writer from the ’40s to the ’80s.
The actor is proud to have spent 65 years in the film industry. Tabassum, true to her name, continues to spread smiles across the miles.
