SONG:TUJHE SURAJ KAHOON YA CHANDA MUSIC:RAVI LYRICS:PREM DHAWAN SINGER:MANNA DEY MOVIE:EK PHOOL DO MALI 1969 SANJAY KHAN SADHANA BALRAJ SAHNI BOBBY Ek Phool Do Mali is a 1969 Indian Bollywood film directed by Devendra Goel. The film became a "superhit," taking the third top spot at the box office in 1969. The film stars,Sanjay Khan,Sadhana, Balraj Sahni earned a Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actor, the only nomination for the film.and the wonder child BOBBY. BALRAJ SAHNI Balraj Sahni (May 1, 1913--April 13, 1973) was a famous Hindi film actor. His real name was Yudhishthir Sahni. He belonged to a Punjabi Khokhran family from Bhera now in Pakistan Punjab . Sahni went from his native Rawalpindi to study in the University of Harvard. He completed his Masters degree in English Literature from Lahore and then went back to Rawalpindi and joined his family business. He also held a Bachelor's degree in Hindi. Soon after, he married Damayanti Sahni. In the late 1930s, Sahni and his wife left Rawalpindi to join Tagore's Shantiniketan in Bengal as an English and Hindi teacher. He also went to work with Mahatma Gandhi for a year in 1938. The next year, Sahni, with Gandhi's blessings, went to England to join the BBC-London's Hindi service as a radio announcer. He returned to India in 1943. Sahni was always interested in acting. He started his film career in Mumbai with the film Dharti Ke Lal in 1946. It was followed by Door Chalen 1946, and other films. But it was in 1953, with Bimal Roy's classic Do Bigha Zameen, that his true forte as an actor was first recognised. The film won the international prize at the Cannes Film Festival. He followed it up with an encore in the 1911 classic Kabuliwala penned by Tagore. Sahni's wife Damayanti passed away at a young age in 1947 and two years later he married his first cousin, Santosh Chandhok, later known as an author and television writer. Sahni's acting was very well liked and appreciated in all his films. He acted opposite top heroines like Nutan, Meena Kumari, Vyjayantimala, and Nargis in films like Seema (1955), Sone Ki Chidiya (1958), and Kathputli (1957). However, he is perhaps best remembered by the current generation for the picturization of the legendary song Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen from the movie Waqt (1965) on him. Sahni appeared opposite Achala Sachdev in the number. Sahni was a gifted writer. In 1960, after a visit to Pakistan, he wrote Mera Pakistani Safar. His book Mera Rusi Safarnama, which he had written after a tour of the erstwhile Soviet Union in 1969, earned him the 'Soviet Land Nehru Award'. He contributed many poems and short stories in magazines and also penned his autobiography, Meri Filmi Aatmakatha. Sahni was an extremely well read and politically conscious person. He was one of the founding fathers of the IPTA (Indian People's Theatre Association) movement and known for his leftist leanings. Sahni also dabbled in screenwriting; he wrote the 1951 movie Baazi which starred Dev Anand and was directed by Guru Dutt. He was also a recipient of the Padma Shri Award. Balraj Sahni also wrote in Punjabi and contributed to the Punjabi magzine Preetlari . Sahni was undoubtedly one of the greatest actors ever to come on the Indian screen: a highly natural actor who reminded the audience of the actors like Motilal because of his simple persona and a sophisticated style of acting. He was looked up to as a role model as he was never involved in any scandal. His acting in Do Bigha Zameen and Garam Hawa were the highlights of his career. He believed in what is known as 'Neo-Realistic' cinema. Balraj's brother Bhisham Sahni was a well-known writer who wrote the book Tamas. His son Parikshat Sahni is also an actor. Balraj Sahni died on April 13, 1973, of a massive cardiac arrest at the age of 59. He had been depressed for some time by the untimely death of his young daughter, Shabnam.

The secret behind Deepika's dance in OSO 'Dhoom Tana' in Om Shanti Om presented Deepika Padukone with the actors of the yesteryears. We got Red Chillies VFX team to explain the process. Stage 1 The team had to locate the original footage of the films they had short listed. The three song sequences appeared in Amrapali (1966, Sunil Dutt and Vyjayantimala), Saccha Jhutha (1970, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz) and Jay-Vijay (1977, Jeetendra and Jayashree T). Not always in the best condition, the original footage had to be scanned, carefully restored and cleaned up to the best possible quality on the computers. Stage 2 Keeping in mind, the set of the films, the camera angles and the lighting, Deepika Padukone was shot in present dressed in similar costumes as the yesteryear actresses to further enhance that '70's look. She pretended to dance with the actors by romancing an imaginary hero. Stage 3 The original actresses, i.e. Vyjanthimala, Mumtaz and Jayashree T. were removed from the sequences. All this of course, was done with the help of the Red Chillies" VFX (visual effects) team. Sequences where the camera was moving and the actors were in contact were specially chosen, so as to provide opportunity for Deepika to dance along with them as opposed to posing. Things to note were the eye contact between the actors, physical touch, lighting continuity, perspective matching, skin tones matching, color matching, e ...

it was 1957, 10 years after independence that naya daur struggled with the benefits of industrialization nehru style while quoting gandhi in the title sequences. once the profit motive brings a machine from the city into a village displacing the workers from the traditional work that they were involved in, a debate begins about the role of technology in progress. a race between the machine and man is won by man with a show of the strength in numbers and cooperative work. and to think it was the same year the chandigarh was taking its form with its broad avenues and grids for a future of high speed vehicles while the people still rode bicycles. there is something about the idealism of the times in the film. dilip kumar with a sickle across his shoulders against the sky, the optimistic glint in his eyes and his hair fluttering in the wind must be the symbol for the indian man. shankar is his name in the film- and was that a white knitted fez cap he wore in so many scenes? as a star should- he represents for me the time in which the film was made. Vyjayantimala and him have the best on screen chemistry in hindi cinema. the songs are great. fantastic film. ...
