He has had one of the most successful careers in Indian Cinema. Almost everything his pen touches turns into gold-or should I say a golden story, and yet when Sachin Bhaumick tried to catch the legendary Bimal Roy?s attention in the early days of his career, he got the cold shoulder. After trying vainly for months, Sachin Bhaumick turned to Hrishikesh Mukherjee who was himself recovering from his first directorial misadventure, Musafir which had failed to dazzle at the box office, in spite of critical acclaim. The two Bengali babus met and the deal was that if Hrishi da?s next venture Anari did well, he will listen to Sachin da?s stories, if not then they would be both out in the cold. Sachin Bhaumick?s entry into Hrishikesh Mukherjee?s life couldn?t have been at a more auspicious moment. Anari became a runaway hit, and that paved the way for the making of Anuradha, a story written by Sachin Bhaumick. The two forged a friendship that lasted till the day Hrishi da died. His last film Jhoot Bole Kauva Katey was also penned by Sachin Bhaumick. In this tribute series to Hrishi da, I can honestly say that Sachin Bhaumick has been the find of the year for me. While I had always known what a super successful writer he was, it was only when I got to know him over many conversations that I discovered what a funny, entertaining story teller he is. His memory like that of Hrishi da is phenomenal, in spite of being in his seventies. Hri ...

? It is so simple to be happy, but it is so difficult to be simple ?- from Hrishikesh Mukherjee?s film Bawarchi. Chess is a game of complex psychological twists and turns and clever moves, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee was a master chess player. He was also a brilliant academician, a scientist, and a gold medal winning sitar player among other things. Hrishikesh Mukherjee also went on to become one of the top most editors in Indian cinema, a very gifted writer and a legendary director. Hrishi da supposedly based the character of Rajesh Khanna in Bawarchi on his own father, a chemist who used to concoct all kinds of things from Kohl for the ladies, to fire crackers in his lab, but Hrishi da could have very well based it on himself because he was so good at so much. For someone who just sat in with a friend to first absorb and then advice on film editing, Hrishi da went on to become one of India?s most brilliant editors, deeply admired by genius film makers like Bimal Roy. Roy gave him a free hand in the very first film Hrishi da edited for him - Do Bigha Zameen where Hrishi da experimented successfuly with some new techniques that later were to be picked up by others and became the hallmark of his work. Many other top notch film makers came to him and asked him to take a look at their films. His admirers included the likes of the great Satyajit Ray, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor. While the legendary actor Dilip Kumar was the ...

It is true that while film is a visual medium, Indian cinema is often defined by the music it presents within its realm. I don't know about others but each time I come out of a cinema hall, the first thing I hum is the music. I have to admit though that in recent years I'm beginning to fast forward a lot of movie songs in films because of the poor quality of lyrics or melody. Today the mediocrity of most music that is being churned out is camouflaged by heavy orchestration, a lot of hoopla and hype and many companies are spending mega bucks to promote their albums. And yet most singers worth their salt know what works what doesn't. When I asked Asha Bhosle what she thought of today's music and singers, she had said, "Not much really. In those days apart from having great musicians we had amazing songwriters, that is why those melodies are evergreen. Today for how long are you going to listen to songs like "Kambaqht Ishq" and "Ishq Kamina?" In addition, television has given mediocre music an extended lease on life. A song is aired, you can see it is average, but when it is aired repeatedly, you start accepting it, but it never ceases to amaze me how people with such limited knowledge of music or little talent can go and release albums at the drop of the hat!" Sonu Niigaam who has become quite choosy about what he wants to sing adds that, "The world has changed and marketing is playing a big role in music economics. These d ...

"I don't consider myself big enough to give people a message. But people should remain happy." - Hrishikesh Mukherjee He would have turned 85 on 30th September - the man of the masses whose films showcased the middle class of India and humanity with all its quirks and idiosyncrasies. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about doing a tribute to Hrishikesh Mukherjee is that I get to hear some lovely stories about a man and film maker I have loved and admired so much, from those who worked with him and knew him closely. Better still, I have been spending a lot of time seeing his films again and being transported to a world that is so real in spite of being make believe. I saw Anand , Guddi , Mili , Abhiman , Namakharam , and Chupke Chupke just before I was to interview Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan. Jaya ji told me, that Hrishi da had come to meet her after hearing about her from her Principal at the Pune Film Institute, that during the shooting for Guddi her first film with Hrishi da she hid behind a sofa when she saw the dashing Dharamendra. She had been a huge fan and was overawed by his Greek God looks. The warmth and love that emanated from her words as she told me about her relationship with Hrishi Kaku as she called him, was incredibly moving. She said it was always a pleasure to work with him because she had a deep comfort level with Hrishi da. Swati Mukherjee, Hrishi da's daughter in law added that indeed Jaya's style ...

Kavita Chhibber is doing some really good work in the Indian blogosphere and e-zine area! I think she does some very original work always. She has recently started doing podcasts. This month is the special feature on Hrishikesh Mukherjee - the great Indian cinema Director. He made movies like Anand, Chupke-Chupke, Khubsoorat, Mili, Golmaal, Rang Birangi etc. She has done two interviews - One with Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan and second with Amol Palekar. The insight into Hrishida - the man - and director is amazing. One incident that I find endearing about Hrishida is when Amol Palekar talks about his unwillingness to shoot because of cricket match and how Hrishida handled that. There are very few folks like Hrishikesh Mukherjee now. As for the interview technique of Kavita you will notice her saying very little. I think THAT is the hall-mark of a great interviewer. read more ...

Very few films can be watched with the family. Even fewer films have the charm that draws an audience to them more than once. Such films remind one of themselves. These stories have the shades of realism that make the plot identifiable, a moral that makes the tale more than just about entertainment and a character who is hard to forget. Such were the films that Hrishikesh Mukherjee brought to Indian cinema. A film with Hrishikesh Mukherjee's name ensured a new and original storyline in an industry plagued by unoriginal plots. His stories put relationships under a microscope and life in front of a mirror. Abhiman, the Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan starrer. explored the fine angles of a marriage and the devastation resulting from a bruised male ego. Anand, brought us the memorable cancer patient who was remembered by his zest for life and the delightful "Babu Moshaiy!" "Life" Anand told us, "should be big, not long". Guddi, starring Jaya Bachchan, dealt with the coming of age plot of a young girl fascinated by a filmstar. For the first and only time in a Hindi film, the unrealistic and fanciful world of films was challenged and scrutinized within a film itself. Directors often use symbolism, camera angles and other intricate apparatus to convey subtle emotion within a story. Hrishikesh Mukherjee however used contrasting shades of the simplicity and complexity of the film's central characters to do so. The song and dance sequence ...
