You won't need a sounding line to plumb my thoughts. I write about incidents, books, films & people who provoke intensity & lead me to rant, rave, celebrate or censure
One of my younger uncles once told us how he and his gang would leave their front seats and start dancing the moment Shammi Kapur appeared on the screen :)
Absol! You know, along with Dev Anand, he was perhaps the only actor who got away on account of sheer charm. I don't think either were great actors, but they were 'stars'. I am told, in our age, it is Salman who represents that breed. Every time i hear that, i go yuck :(
You know, there's this film Jaanwar where he's paired with saira banu. He usually played these brash, loud roles. But in this one Rafi song in the film 'Ehsaan tera hoga mujhpar', he's been picturised so soulfully, so beautifully, i cant tell you. Check it out on Youtube if you dont know the song.
