SO ASHA PAREKH DOESN'T LIKE DILIP KUMAR! However, this was one of the most unexpected statements coming from an actress who is only 3 three years away from 7. In normal course, such statements when they come in a package labeled, “Grapes are Sour” should be consigned to the trash- can. ![]() However, her statement forces me to rewind to the past to examine the merit of her said statement. The question is, whether any role was offered to her at all opposite Dilip Kumar. Or rather, did Dilip Kumar need an Asha Parekh. When Asha Parekh was born in 1.

First Lady of the Indian Screen selected for him – Dilip Kumar - the name that was to cast spell on generations of film goers and fraternity for the next six decades. Thus he made his debut as an actor opposite Mridula and Shamim under the direction of Amiya Chakarborty. Dilip Kumar did two more films, Pratima (1. Milan (1. 94. 6) after Jwar Bhata.

The same year, Asha Parekh was noticed by Bimal Roy who cast her in Baap Beti (1.

She continued her schooling and later joined the Filmalaya School of Acting. This school belonged to Sashadhar Mukherjee who was once a producer in the famous Bombay Talkies of Devika Rani and Himanshu Rai. In 1. 94. 3, he left the Bombay Talkies to form his own Filmistan Studio at Goregaon, Mumbai, in partnership with Rai Bahadur Chunilal, Gyan Mukherjee, and Ashok Kumar whose brother in law he was, having married the only sister of the last- named Super Star of that era. Nasir Hussain was one of the regular writers with Filmistan. Sashadhar Mukherjee gave Nasir Hussain an opportunity to direct Filmistan’s Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1. Shammi Kapoor and Ameeta. This movie proved to be a great hit, especially for the hero who tasted success after his nine films had flopped in a row. When Sashadhar broke away from Filmistan to set up his Filmalaya Studio at Amboli, Mumbai, he again asked Nasir Husain to direct a movie for him. This time it was Dil Deke Dekho (1. In the meantime, Asha Parekh tried her luck for a heroine’s role in Vijay Bhatt’s Goonj UThi Shehnai (1. That role went to Ameeta – also known as the Tumsa Nahin Dekha girl. The very next day, Sashadhar Mukherjee asked Nasir Husain to choose between Sadhna, and Asha Parekh, and Nasir Hussain chose the latter for the tomboyish role in Dil Deke Dekho. Thus she landed her first role as the leading lady opposite Shammi Kapoor. Nasir Hussain’s choice of Asha Parekh as against Sadhna for the heroine’s role in Dil Deke Dekho set off a long term of relationship between them, on both professional as well as personal level. So when Nasir Hussain also turned producer by establishing his own production house under the banner of Nasir Hussain Films he never failed to take Asha Parekh as his leading heroine right from Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1. Caravan (1. 97. 1). His other films with Asha Parekh were Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (1. Teesri Manzil (directed by Vijay Anand, 1. Baharon Ke Sapne (1. Pyar Ka Mausam (1. After 1. 97. 1, he turned in favour of younger heroines such as Zeenat Aman, Kajal Kiran, Padmini Kolhapure, Dimple Kapadia and Jaya Pradha for his films. Nasir Hussain was already a married man with wife Ayesha, and a daughter Nuzhat and son Mansoor Khan who took over the reins of direction from Nasir Hussain for Qayamat Se Qayamat tak pairing the almost- debutantes, Amir Khan and Juhi Chawla.

He again won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for Kohinoor. In 1. 96. 1 he wrote and produced and acted in Ganga Jamuna which was a trend- setting movie in many respect. This mile- stone of a movie elicited a very powerful performance from Dilip Kumar. This was the role that not only swayed the entire film industry but was also to inspire the future Super- Stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamala Hasan. In the west, it was Sophia Loren, the two times Oscar Winner, who was influenced profoundly. He was of course nominated under that category. After a three- year hiatus, Dilip Kumar accepted the role of Leader (1. Sashadhar Mukherjee. He also wrote the film- story which is as relevant today as it was then. His comedy role fetched him another Filmfare Award in the Best Actor Category. His other movies in the Sixties are: Dil Diya Dard Liya (1. Ram Aur Shyam (1. Sungharsh, and Aadmi (both 1. He was nominated in the Best Actor Category in all the four films. In Ram Aur Shyam Dilip Kumar played the full- fledged double role for the first time and his impact in the movie was such that it won many acclaims, including the prestigious Filmfare Award for his diverse, sensitive and powerful performance. His adverse critics, who thought he was finished, were deservingly dealt a serious blow. In Nineteen Seventies we have four Dilip Kumar movies: Gopi (1. Dastaan (1. 97. 2), Sagina (1. Bairaag (1. 97. 6). All the three movies, excluding Dastaan, had his better- half, Saira Banu, as his heroine, while B. R. Chopra’s Dastaan which was a remake of Afsaana (1. Sharmila Tagore.

Mazdoor (1. 98. 3), Duniya and Mashal (both 1. Karma and Dharam Adhikari (Both 1. Kanoon Apna Apna (1. Izzatdaar (1. 99. Saudagar (1. 99. 1) and Qila (1. In Shakti Dilip Kumar had Amitabh Bachchan, the super- star of the time, pitted against him. However Dilip Kumar came out with such a brilliant performance that it won him yet another Filmfare Award in the Best Actor category. He was also nominated for the said Award in Mashal and Saudagar. The Government of India awarded him the Dadasaheb Phalke Award which is given for cinematic excellence in India. In 1. 99. 7 the Pakistan Government awarded him the Nishan- e- Imtiaz which left him traumatized though the highest civilian award was also awarded to Morarji Desai much earlier. The NTR National Award was given to him in 1. He was also awarded the Phalke Ratna Award in 2. CNN- IBN Indian of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award in 2. For the sake of brevity, we have omitted mentioning the cameo roles down the decades. We have not mentioned the names of the films that were shelved, except one which we shall presently broach. Similarly we have not mentioned the other Awards won by the Thespian and Asha Parekh. Dilip Kumar movies have gone on to become great classics of Indian Cinema. In his early films, Dilip Kumar mirrors the frustration of youth in upholding life’s values and ideals. Monsoon (1. 99. 9) - IMDb. I typically do not go this route when first introducing this film from a critiquing standpoint, but Monsoon was painful. This movie was not just painful to the eyes (as most film tend to be), but also painful to the ears, head, shoulders, knees, and especially the toes. This film was on par with a night of heavy drinking. I remember awakening from the slumber that this film induced and wondering if my body had decided to leave and head to the local watering hole for excitement. I apologize to the word painful for associating such a film with such a word, but Monsoon was excruciating. Beginning with the sleazy, nearly home- movie- ish opening to the clich. I am surprised that those behind the business of . I suppose that one could say that I am being harsh, but I have trouble understanding how films, without any artistic moments, any detailed development, or any feasible acting can be a clean mark on the Hollywood community. This was one of those films that demonstrated to the world that if you have a camera and women are willing to expose themselves, than you . Pathetic isn't it? Again, I must apologize, but I do not remember much of how this film ended. I think that will stop me from needing to warn you about . I would like to begin my ranting with the opening of this film. Flashbacks are a huge element to defining the moment and sub- plots of a film, but when it decides to take history into its own hands and slap a simple mustache on our supposed heroine to show ethnicity, you immediately feel your stomach begin to curdle and all hope for decency soar out the window. That is how I felt at the beginning of Monsoon. From the third- grade CGI to the daytime television acting, I could only hope that this film would grow better over time. Yet another shining example of how time ruined my hopes and dreams. As Monsoon developed (if that is what you would like to call it), the characters fell deeper within their clich. I do not believe that anyone that focused an evening on this film could accurately tell me the story surrounding this film. That is not a good sign. I honestly believe that it is due in great part to the acting that this film could never quite catch its moment of glory. Take for example the illustrious villain of this film, a man simply named Brian (doesn't that send shivers up your spine?) who seemed to sound more congested than sinister. I couldn't tell if someone else was doing his voice from behind the screen to give a stronger demeanor about the character, but whatever was happening was wrong. This man wasn't evil on a stick, but instead a sweet little lollypop with hair all over it. Then we have our heroine. Could anyone have a decent name in this film? His entire story is so diluted that I was surprised not to see water trickling from his pockets. No emotion surrounds this character, no reasoning behind his actions, and foremost, any reality behind his words. I never once believed that Kenneth was nothing more than Richard Tyson playing a character whom could not act. Actually, as you look amongst all of our players in this film, there was not one that decently gave us an attempt to act. It felt as if they all were possibly using this film to pay their credit cards and to gain notoriety in an apparent . It was as if I was watching an Acting 1. It was that horrid. I have nearly destroyed this film, but that does not make me happy. I have every intention of falling in love with every film that enters into my player, but when it doesn't even bother picking itself out of the muck like Monsoon, why should I bother enjoying. It is when I watch films like this that I miss Mystery Science Theater 3. Their ability to find the most wretched of films and point out its flaws to the world was priceless. Mystery Science Theater 3. If I was handed Monsoon as a film project and was asked to grade the power in front of the camera for director Jag Mundhra, here is how it would look: Acting: F Plot: FCreativity: F Interesting Use of Lighthouse: C Reason for being in Hollywood: E (oh, it was that bad) As I deeply cleaned the burning sensation from my eyes, I dreamed of a life without Monsoon, and my face broke into a very enthusiastic smile! Grade: * out of *****.
