He made the classic literature of Munshi Premchand immortal with his performance. He was sublime in Mirch Masala. He was outstanding in Tamas.

In the last 10 years he had featured in every alternate films including Gulzar’s Maachis, Priya Darshaan’s Malamaal Weekly, Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Pukar, Sohail Khan’s Dabaang. His performance in small roles in landmark films like Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi had amazed everyone. In the last few years his performance in Saif Ali Khan’s film Qurbaan, Ashay Kumar’s film Action Replay had been very impressive. Even in commercial films like Salman Khan’s Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Om Puri played the role of a wrestler very well. He balanced the performances of Paresh Rawal and Anupam Kher. In 2011, viewers are waiting to see his performance opposite Shahrukh Khan in the film Don 2 – the chase continues. The viewers and critics feel that Om Puri should continue his brilliant work irrespective of adequate justice being done through the awards, because his actual admirer are the immense number of viewers who had always considered him a genius of genius.

In the last few years his performance in Saif Ali Khan’s film Qurbaan, Ashay Kumar’s film Action Replay had been very impressive.

Happy birthday to Naseeruddin Shah.


Naseeruddin Shah. The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Naseeruddin Shah on 20th July, 2012. Along with Om Puri, Smita Patil and Shabana Azmi, Nasir was the leading actor who had shaped parallel cinema in India. He became the leading actor of art films directed by Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalini, Sudhir Mishra, Saee Paranchpe, Mrinal Sen and others. He was sublime in films like Aakrosh, Sparsh, Khandahaar, etc. Viewers cannot forget his realistic acting in Goutam Ghosh’s film Paar. He was unparallel in the scene where he along with Shabana Azmi, took the herd of animals across river Ganges for their livelihood. Their standard of acting was extraordinary. He was equally brilliant in a sensitive role in Shekhar Kapoor’ s film Masoom. His son Jugal Hansraj was not accepted by Shabana Azmi, as he was her step son, but at the end of the film Nasir convinced Shabana about accepting the child. The songs in the film like “huzoor is kadar bhi na itra ke chaliye” sung by Bhupinder Singh and Suresh Watkar and composed by RD Burman became extremely popular in the early 80s. In the late 80s, Nasir got influenced by veteran actor Amrish Puri and joined mainstream cinema. There also he became a grand winner. He gave fabulous performance in the film Tridev along with Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, and also Vishwaatma wit Sunny Deol and Chunkey Pandey. His action skills, comedy skills all were utilized by the commercial directors and became an indispensable figure in the early 90s. Even as villain he astonished the viewers in films like Mohra. He did outcast the heroes in the film like Sunil Shetty and Akshay Kumar and ended up being the main actor in the feeling. Nasir could play any type of role and in the long run no other actor other than Om Puri could match Nasiruddin Shah’s versatility. In China Gate, both of them faced each other and the viewers enjoyed the dynamic performances of the two legends. Even in films like Monsoon Wedding, Nasir showed that his skill in realistic acting just had got enhanced day after day. In 2008, he performed perhaps the best film of the year, A Wednesday. He killed the terrorists as an ordinary citizen, to end the threat they had created over a period of time. His showed at his old age that still he is indispensable as an actor in the bollywood industry. His performance was as brilliant as the performance of Anupam Kher in the film. In 2010, his performance in the film Ishqiya opposite Vidya Balan and Arshad Warsi had been highly appreciated by the critics. In songs like “dil to baccha hai ji” his silent manner of imagining his relationship with Vidya Balan showed his brilliance class of acting. The film did good business as well. Even his performance in Prakash Jha’s film Rajneeti impressed the masses. Rajneeti ended up being a blockbuster. In 2011 he acted in the film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in a small role.

Shahrukh Khan’s Don 2 got a bumper opening.

The King had been back. Shahrukh Khan impressed the audience with his brilliant performance in the film Don 2. On the first day it had done excellent business in New Delhi, UP, Kolkata, Rajasthan and other parts of the country. Don 2 had been the sequel of Don – the chase begins. Farhan Akhtar had directed the film. It had been produced by Farhan Akhtar, Shahrukh Khan and Ritesh Sidhwani. The music had been composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy.

In the film Shahrukh Khan was chased by European drug cartelists who wanted the Don dead. He was selling drugs at a lower cost in Thailand and other nations and destroying their business. So Shahrukh Khan surrendered before Om Puri and Priyanka Chopra in Malaysia. In Malaysia he was given death sentence and imprisoned in the same jail where Boman Irani was imprisoned.

Shahrukh Khan and Boman Irani escaped from prison and went to Switzerland. There they blackmailed Aly Khan by showing a videotape relating to killing of a competitor and got the code related to printing plates of money printing bank. Aly Khan hired assassins to kill Shahrukh Khan who instead compelled them to work for him.

After the plates were stolen Boman Irani betrayed him. Kunal Kapoor was hired by Shahrukh Khan and he informed Om Puri and Priyanka Chopra. But Shahrukh Khan again went back to the building in Germany to diffuse the bombs he had planted. In the struggle Priyanka Chopra was shot but she survived. Shahrukh Khan killed the rest and Boman Irani was put back to prison. At the end of the film it was shown that Lara Dutta and Kunal Kapoor met Shahrukh Khan and Kunal Kapoor handed over the actual printing plates.

In the film Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta did well, but Lara Dutta was not used to her potentiality. Kunal Kapoor, Boman Irani, Om Puri and Aly Khan did very well. The music was mediocre.

                                     Lara Dutta in Don2.
But Farhan Akhtar’s action sequences were excellent and Shahrukh Khan was at his best. With a bumper opening there is no doubt that Don 2 is going to do business more than 100 crores. It is yet to be seen whether it at all is going to break the record of Salman Khan’s Bodyguard.
