E for Ek, Do, Teen… the crore counting club that’s adding zero’s on the go. D for Dhating “Naach” and all those bizarre choreography dance movies, Babli’s chest-gun shots, Ranveer’s dandruff-riddance move, ‘Tamanche pe Disco’ and then there was ‘Tooh’. Humor was lost on the audience, as was the smile of the producers after the release of these films. B for Babaji Ka Thullu – What by and large audiences believed they got after walking out at the end of most releases this year C for Curious case of Comedies – Matru., YPD2, Besharam, Sooper se Ooper. In this film its important to realise that the music is pre- Lata Mangeshkar when the giants were Shamshad Begum and Noor Jehan,Ī for Aam Aadmi Pictures – Shahid, Lunchbox, Gippi, Akaash Vani, biopics and stories on common person ruled. Already well known for the Gangs of Wasseypur franchise and Detective Bymokesh Bakshy! amongst others, her gritty and real-life music is often perfect for the period, without needing to take the audience back to it.
#OLD INDIAN SONGS SHAMSHAD BEGUM MOVIE#
The music direction of the movie has been given to Sneha Khanwalkar. This film has already been acclaimed at Cannes and was recently released to Indian audiences on the 21st of September. Manto, written,directed and produced by Nandita Das, tells his story through the eyes of those around him. One of these is the story of the biopic of the Urdu Bollywood scriptwriter Saadat Hasan Manto, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Lots of now famous and some infamous things happened during this time. As he says in the movie “Agar aap meri kahani ko bardaasht nahin kar sakte, to iska yeh matlab hai, ke yeh zamana na kaabile bardaashtīombay in 1946 was an epicentre for the cry for freedom from the British Raj. Manto the album backs Manto the film, a biopic of the famous Urdu playwright Saadat Hasan Manto, a pre-independence script writer whose films annoyed everyone because he wrote stories that portrayed people, especially girls and young women, as they were treated in that time from his perspective. What Raftaar delivered was Mantoiyat: an idealisation of the man behind the story. When music director Sneha Khanwalkar wanted a title song for her latest album Manto, she turned to him to bring his talents. Whose powerful versus strike at the heart of all listeners while his beats entertain on the screens of streaming media platformers. A man whose lyrics are clear, but not clean. In today’s Bollywood there is only one star of rap “Raftaar”. On recommendation from singer Shamshad Begum, Born in Hyderabad on 7 July 1923, Chandrashekhar dropped out of college and moved to Mumbai with a diploma in western dancing from the UK. This is perhaps the most personal memorial for me of a person who I admired immensely as an individual / human more than anything else. As I am writing this memorial, people from the film industry and media fraternity will be offering respects and by the time you all will read this our dear Chandrashekharji’s last rites will be in process or done but memories which I hold as a person and as a film journalist will remain forever.

A series of flashbacks started haunting me since I know Chandrashekharji personally as my father’s dear friend. Today I woke up with the info of the 97-year-old legend Chandrashekhar aka Chandrashekharji urf Chandrashekhar sahab breathing his last at his residence.
