The Iconic One Liners of Bollywood


Bollywood films are known for their Songs and Dance but  Bollywood films are also exceedingly popular with audiences for their Dialogues. While dialogues in movies have been popular since the black and white era, tongue-in-cheek one liner’s are a rather recent phenomenon.A one liner can be funny, serious, or thought provoking depending on the situation in the film. Over the years dialogue writers in Hindi films have written some memorable one liner’s that have become hugely popular with movie lovers.
In old films some of the common one liners were “Kya issi din ke liye tujhe pal pos ke paida kiya tha”,Mein tumhare bache ki maa baaney wali hoon,and Dharmendra's famous one liner "Kuttey, kameeney main tera khoon pee jaoonga or main tujhe jaan se maar doonga"

Funny Songs on Biwi/Shaadi in Hindi Films


Like majority of the population, I have always believed that music and lyrics complete each other. No matter how soulful music is if lyrics are not good,  a song can never make a lasting impression and vice versa. Shaadi and Biwi are such words on which lot of funny songs were written and still being written.In this Blog I have selected  few of these songs showing how life changes after marriage, or how they are fed up with their wife, etc -
The first song comes in my mind is from Ladki (1953) acted and sung by Kishore Kumar

Prakash Mehra- The Man who Created the Recipe of Masala Films


In the 70s Prakash Mehra and Manmohan Desai gave birth to the 'formula' film. His films  revolving around a predictable plot, but touching on the social and political situation of the time. Being a smart Bollywood director, Mehra knew that a successful mainstream movie should be like a tasty Thaali, blending a host of ingredients.
Between 1973 and 1990, Prakash Mehra worked with Amitabh Bachchan on 8 films. These movies were not just blockbusters. They remain bookmarks of our cinematic memory. Anyone who grew up watching Hindi movies in the 1970s and 80s, movies like Zanjeer, Muqaddar Ka Sikander, Khoon PasinaHera Pheri (1976 film),Laawaris, Namak Halaal and Sharabi would surely agree to that.
Prakash Mehra (13 July 1939 – 17 May 2009) started in the late 1950s as a production controller. In 1968, he directed Shashi Kapoor who played a double role in Haseena Maan Jayegi. . In 1973, he produced and directed Zanjeer,from here began the journey of the  super Hit Producer and Director Prakash Mehra..
Mehra made his finest movies with Bachchan. But he also made some interesting films with other actors too. Such as dacoit dramas: Mela (Sanjay, Feroz Khan and Mumtaz) and Samadhi (Dharmendra, Jaya Bhaduri and Asha Parekh). The latter had the track, Bangle ke peeche teri beri ke neeche, which GenNow can identify with for its remixed version.
And who can forget Haath Ki Safai (Randhir Kapoor, Vinod Khanna and Hema Malini, 1974) with the superhit song, Peene walon ko peene ka bahana chahiye.  All these films fared reasonably well at the cash counters.
By the late 1980s, just like his main actor, Mehra seemed to have lost his touch. But while Bachchan reinvented himself and emerged in a new avatar, the producer-director never bounced back.
Mehra will be remembered. Not merely as the man who gave Big B his first big box-office hit. His better films always had something extra, something special.

.Nothing comes from nothing is a philosophical expression of a thesis first argued by Parmenides. It is associated with ancient Greek cosmology.So it is accepted that nothing is original.The Original Thought Theory" seems to hold that all possible thoughts have passed between the ears many times and will continue to do so. The majority of us spend our days desperately imitating the lives of others.
