Sonu Nigamji gave excellent interview before Anupam Kher in Colours TV show.

Sonu Nigam gave an excellent interview before Anupam Kher in the Colours TV Show “Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai” on 23rd August, 2015. It was telecast on the same day. Sonu Nigam was very submissive in his interview and said that he came from a middle class family in Faridabad. He sang a ghazal of Rafisahab in the show, the same one which sang at his young age which impressed the established singers of the country in the early 1980s. He talked about his acting in few films like the role of child artist in Sunny Deol’s Betaab in 1983. He said he was an admirer of Rafisahab for his versatility. He did a documentary with Manna Dey Sahab also. He said he was very close to Lataji and regularly interacts with her. The best part of the show was to bring his father Agar Kumar Nigam in the same show. He sang Rafisahab’s song “jane kya dhoondti rehti hai yeh ankhen mujhme” from film Shola Aur Shabnam. It was composed by Khayyam. Both Agar Kumar Nigam and Sonu Nigam sang the song together brilliantly. Anupam Kher at the end of the show presented the memento to Sonu Nigam mentioning his virtues and handed it through his father. The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to popular Singer Sonu Nigam on 30th July, 2015. In 2013, Sonu Nigam won the best singer award in Zee Cine Awards 2013. The award was given for his famous song “abhi mujh me kahin” sung in the film Agneepath. He won the Mirchi award and Toifa award also for the same song. His mother came in the Indian idol show on 30th July, 2011, and Sonu Nigam showed his respect for the mother on his birthday. He dedicated a song to his idol Mohammad Rafi who had died on 31st July, 1980. Sonu Nigam in a recent interview given in Anandabazar Patrika and published on 23rd July, 2011, had said that the Indian composers these days hardly call him to sing songs. If there is truth in the statement it is very sad. He said that although he had sung songs in the international platform along with Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson, he had very few songs in the year 2011. He said that many composers are singing the songs in bollywood films themselves. He did not point his finger at Shankar Mahadevan, as he agreed himself that Shankar, the composer of the Shankar Ehsaan Loy combination, had learned Karnatic classical and always had sung well. But those composers who did not have that amount of trained voice, for singing in shows are rarely using the veteran singers. He said that it is a blessing that there are very few female composers in the industry, otherwise the domination of Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chouhan and others would have got shaken up. In 2010, he had his romantic voice felt in the film Milenge Milenge, where his song picturized on Shahid Kapoor was well accepted by the viewers. He was also brilliant in the song “tu ne to pal bhar me chori kiya re jiya” along with Shreya Ghoshal in the film Dabaang, composed by Sajid Wajid. Sonu Nigam had brilliant combination a number of leading composers of bollywood over the last 10 years. Sonu Nigam was associated with Anu Malik as some of his best romantic numbers were composed by him including “hume jab se mohabbat ho gayi hai”, in the film Border, or “sau dard hai” in the film Jaaneman. He was also associated with Sajid Wajid, as most of his romantic numbers like “tumko bhula na payega” from the film Tumko Bhula Na Payenge, or “mujhse shaadi karogi” in the film Mujshe Shaadi Karoge. In 2010, both of them featured together in the film Veer. Although the film did moderate business, the songs became hits. But Sonu Nigam sang very landmark songs under the composition of Shantanu Moitra in critically acclaimed films. The films included Parineeta, Lage Raho Munnabhai, The Three Idiots, etc. Parineeta was directed by Pradeep Sarkar and was probably the first launching pad of actress Vidya Balan. Sonu Nigam’s duet song with Shreya Ghoshal namely “piyu bole piya bole” composed by Shantanu Moitra maintained the flavor of Rabindrasangeet with a background of Kolkata during the time of writer Sarat Chandra Chatterji. Also the song “yeh hawaye gungunaye” was equally impressive. In the film Lage Raho Munnabhai, Shantanu Moitra, maintained both the bhai-like mastani flavor as well as the soft romantic mood. Sonu Nigam’s song “pal pal pal pal pal pal har pal” was probably the most romantic song of the film. The other songs like “lage raho munnabhai” did bear a different andaz. If the acting of Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and Vidya Balan was impressive, the music was equally instrumental in the success of the film. The Three Idiots had shown the loopholes of India’s higher education system. The songs composed by Shantanu Moitra had the message of the director Raj Kumar Hirani. Sonu Nigam and others in the film sung the theme song “all is well” a number of times in the film. The other song “zubi zubi” sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal was also very fast and melodious. If the acting of Amir Khan, R. Mahadevan and Sharman Joshi had impressed the viewers, the music had made them spellbound. The audience expect Sonu Nigam to provide more number of romantic numbers in future, even in films made under any other banner in addition to the banner of Vidhu Vinod Chopra or direction of Raj Kumar Hirani.

Happy birthday to Anupam Kher. The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Anupam Kher on 7th March, 2018. He had been indispensable during the 80s and 90s and contributed both in commercial films and parallel cinema. He initially attracted the attention of critics by performing well in the film Surhansh. He played the role of an old person who had served the nation but was neglected after retirement. At that time he got the offer of playing the role old persons one after the other at a young age. His performance in the films Daddy, Janam, etc., were well appreciated by the thoughtful viewers. But the film that had made him a star was Karma. The film Karma directed by Subhash Ghai was released in 1985 and after that Anupam Kher never looked back. Anupam Kher acted opposite Dilip Kumar in Subhash Ghai’s multi-starrer venture Karma. He played the role of a terrorist leader named Dr. Dang. He was arrested by Dilip Kumar, but his men blew up the prison and released him. He then took revenge by killing the family members of Dilip Kumar. Dilip Kumar created an army full of prisoners who were suffering life sentences including Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Jackie Shroff. He fought against the men of Anupam Kher and addressed terrorism with style. From that time onwards, commercial directors started casting Anupam Kher either in villainous roles or comedy roles. He successfully acted in comedy roles in the film Ram Lakhan, as the father of Madhuri Dixit, Jamai Raja as the brother of Hema Malini, Khel, as the partner of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. He received the maximum number of filmfare awards for comedy performance in the history of bollywood cinema. He showed his comedy instincts also in the film Apna Sapna Money Money opposite Ritesh Deshmukh. Apart from relief characters, Anupam Kher acted in serious films and his performance was very natural over there. His performance in the film Kahona Pyar Hai, in the role of the father of Amisha Patel was very impressive. He sent killers to murder Hrithik Roshan, yet he concealed his own involvement in the plan to his daughter in style. He did very well in the film A Wednesday opposite Naseeruddin Shah. His performance in the film 1942 a love story, in the role of the father of Manisha Koirala also require special mention.

His performance in the film China Gate, Khosla Ka Ghoshla, Akhree Rasta, requires special mention. He had acted in more than 450 films in a span of 25 years. In that respect no other actor other than Amrish Puri, Kader Khan and Paresh Rawal, had such a huge contribution in bollywood films like Anupam Kher. He was very impressive in 2009 in the films God Tussi Great Ho, where he played the role of the father of Salman Khan, A Wednesday, etc. Still critics feel that had he not got typecast in comedy roles, he was more versatile and could have contributed more in serious roles. In 2013, Anupam Kher had acted in the films Special 26, Chasme Badoor and Yamla Pagla Dewaana 2. In 2014 he was busy with the hindi remake of hit Bengali film Bhooter bhabishyat.

Review of the film Sankat City.

Review of the film Sankat City.

Sankat City had been one of the action thrillers released in 2009. It was a serio-comic film where the viewers could not realize what happened next. It was directed by Pankaj Advani while Anubhav Sinha produced the film. The music was composed by Ranjit Barot. KK Menon played the role of a petty car thief. Dilip Prabhawalkar, who had a shabby garage was his friend.

Both of them had good partnership. While KK Menon used to steal the cars, the cars were given a fresh treatment to make them saleable. Dilip Prabhawalker did that in his garage and sold the cars and both of them shared the profits among themselves.

One day KK Menon stole a Mercedes Car near a brothel. After stealing the car he brought the car to the garage of his friend for servicing as usual. Both of them recovered one crore rupees within the car. But they never realized that the money was kept by a leading gangster Anupam Kher.

The plans of KK Menon got messed up when he sold the car to Rahul Dev, who was a close friend of Anupam Kher. He informed Anupam Kher about the stealing operation. After that Anupam Kher send his men to collect the money that was there in the car.

Dilip Prabhawalkar kept the money in a safe place in the garage. He knew there would be problem relating to the money, as the amount was too big. But within short time he met with an accident and lost his memory. KK Menon could not return the money back to Anupam Kher as he never knew where his friend had kept it. Anupam Kher gave him 3 days to return the money.

Then KK Menon teamed up with Rimi Sen and found a way out after communicating with a builder. The film finished as a thriller, but most of the events were shown through comedy sequences. Other than Anupam Kher and KK Menon, Chunkey Pandey also did well in his short role.

The film has elements of entertainment and will appeal to the crowds.

Anupam Kher – the gifted character actor of bollywood.

Anupam Kher – the gifted character actor of bollywood.

Anupam Kher created his own identity with the performance in the film Surhansh. He showed the crude reality that those citizens who had shed blood in Indian freedom movement or participated in the movement had been ill-treated when they became old. For entering the office of a minister the person had to cross a number of clerks, assistants, secretaries without whose permission there was hardly any access. He showed the frustration through his performance.

In Daddy, he showed the relationship between a father and a daughter played by Puja Bhatt. The pains he faced had compelled him to get addicted to alcohol. He was rediscovered by the affection of his daughter. While performing in the off-beat films Anupam Kher also made significant contribution in the big banner films.

He faced Dilip Kumar in Karma directed by Subhash Ghai in a negative role. He plyed the role of Dr. Dang and led a terrorist mission to destroy India. Dilip Kumar created an army comprising of hardcore criminals including Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Naseer and destroyed his establishments. Very siginificantly he did not try to imitate Pran or Amrish Puri or the other traditional villains but created a style of his own.

He was sublime in comedy roles and showed his talent in films like Jamai Raja, Ram Lakhan, etc. Comedy is based on sense of timing, and Anupam Kher had always been elegant in those performances. Even in roles where the character required compassion he excelled in those roles also.

In Kahona Pyar Hai, he played the role of the father of Amisha Patel and he engaged his men to kill the commissioner, but from the time he knew that Hrithik had seen it and was still alive he changed his plans for killing him as his daughter was also associated with him. He had surrendered before the police at the end of the film.


He was also sublime in his performance in the film Refugee, where he played the role of a village sarpanch in a village situated in the border district in India. Indian security officials often came to his house to inspect the whereabouts of Abhishek Bacchan who had the tendency of reaching Indians to Pakistan and bring them back. The role required depth of understanding which he showed with his performance. With over 200 films in bollywood in a span of 20 years, he had created an institution by himself and is expected to continue the good work in the years to come.
