41 Years Of Historic Blockbuster Kranti

Mumbai, February 13 - Kranti which is one of the biggest blockbusters ever from the Hindi film industry was released exactly 41 years ago on this date to a smashing box office response. The film was immensely hyped and was the biggest budgeted film of that time.## Kranti started its box office run with the record-breaking first-day number in practically all the circuits. It smashed all previous initial records. The film then went on to do the record business in Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, Punjab, and a few other circuits. When Kranti was released it was the fastest earning film overtaking even the legendary Sholay. Kranti had higher business than Sholay in the first run through Sholay went ahead with an unbelievable re-run business.## Kranti had a huge ensemble star cast with legendary Dilip Kumar playing one of the main leads along with Manoj Kumar. The film also had a huge supporting cast like Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini, and Parveen Babi among others. Manoj Kumar who was the director of the film had an unbelievable track record as not only did he star in some legendary blockbusters like Dus Numbari, Sanyasi, and Roti Kapda Aur Makaan but also directed them.## Kranti was the 2nd biggest hit of the 1980s decade behind Maine Pyar Kiya. Though Kranti was watched by more audience than Maine Pyar Kiya, The making cost of Kranti was too huge which stopped the film to get the highest classification verdict All time blockbuster. In terms of business with today's ticket prices, Kranti's adjusted gross collections would be around 950cr.## Stay tuned...

Happy Birthday Hrithik Roshan - The last Genuine Superstar Of Bollywood

Hrithik Roshan started his tinsel town journey in 2000 with a mega-blockbuster Kaho Na Pyar Hai. The debut film of Hrithik Roshan was a huge craze back then and it nearly made him the superstar. Kaho Na Pyar Hai to date remains the Biggest career hit of Hrithik Roshan. ## After having a dream start to his career, Hrithik Roshan followed that with many Blockbusters. In 2001 Hrithik Roshan teamed up with Shah Rukh Khan And Amitabh Bachchan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and delivered one of the biggest hits of the decade. Koi Mil Gya became the Blockbuster Highest Grosser of the year in 2003 which was his father's directorial. ## The peak of Hrithik Roshan came in 2006 when he delivered two back-to-back Blockbusters Dhoom2 and Krrish. Hrithik Roshan was the number one star between the period of 2000-2006 if you look from the box office point of view. The shine of potential megastar was taken away with films like Guzarish, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Kites which were not in the zone of Krrish, Koi Mil Gya, and Dhoom 2. ## The comeback has happened with the Superhero flick Krrish3 which became a Blockbuster. The last huge hit of Hrithik Roshan was War in 2019 which was the highest-grossing film of the year. There are not many complaints as far as box office records are concerned as Hrithik Roshan is the only star after the Khan-Troika who has all kinds of Box office records in his repertoire. From Blockbusters to Highest Grosser of the year. From Opening records to huge mass fan following and whatnot. ## In all-time stars, Hrithik Roshan does remind us of one of those stars who was huge in terms of the magnitude of hits but lacks well behind in terms of volume of successes. Raj Kapoor in the 1950s, Manoj Kumar in the 1960s and 1970s, Sunny Deol in the 90s, and Aamir Khan throughout his career remained that way where the magnitude of hits was massive but a number of successes were less. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Such Updates.

IANS Sunday Special: The Return Of The Character Actor (Column: B Town)

Mumbai, January 9 - The character artistes lent credibility to a film's story, they filled the screen and, what is more, helped break the monotony of the lead pair dominating the screen. All that because these characters were woven into the script. Whatever the draw, popularity, or fan following of a star, he or she alone could not carry a film through.## Some of these artists who propped up a film were versatile, but a lot of the character actors in our earlier films were typecast and chosen when required for a particular character for which they were loved by their audience. In fact, some of these were so popular, roles were written especially to cast them in a film.## Some specialized in negative characters, some as backup comedians (just about every film had a leading comic actor). People never got tired of these actors playing the same role again and again. In fact, that is what was expected of them!## A film's hero could not deliver it all. The character artistes made a film wholesome and held it together. There were some great character actors such as Balraj Sahni, Jayant, Iftekhar, Rehman, Sapru, Kanhaiyalal, and Jeevan, whose very names in the credit titles added to a film's value.## Balraj Sahni and Jayant enjoyed a towering personalities besides being great talents. Iftikhar, while also doing varied roles, made a strong presence playing a no-nonsense top cop. Sapru was gifted with a royal presence and fitted all roles of a 'khandani' wealthy man. Om Prakash was in a class of his own. Kanhaiyalal and Jeevan were both scheming, deceptive manipulators each in their own inimitable style.## And, then there was Jagdish Raj, who was typecast throughout his acting career to play a police inspector, so much so he acted a cop in as many as 144 movies and this has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.## Can you imagine Manoj Kumar's 'Shaheed' or, later, 'Upkar' without Pran, or Irrfan's 'Hindi Medium' without Deepak Dobriyal, or 'Chupke Chupke' without Om Prakash? There are many such films. Comic characters have been a part of our myths and stories of great kingdoms among other tales. Narad in our myths is the ultimate example. The film stories continued this tradition.## Be it a family drama, a thriller, or an action movie, a comedian in the cast was a must and his/her appearance on the screen was looked forward to like clowns in a circus. It is no wonder that some comic actors such as Rajendra Nath, Johnny Walker, Mehmood, and Deven Verma went on to become legends.## They were a must in a film's cast and often a script was altered to accommodate a comedian. A comedian was a stress reliever and, what they called, relief!## There came a time when Mehmood was the draw for a film and not the film's hero! Legend has it that he was paid more than a film's lead actor! Mehmood's success never went to his head, but it started eating into others' heads. Stars nursed bigger egos than their success could afford them. Despite knowing that Mehmood was a factor in the success of their films, they did not want him in their films anymore.## The other cause of the fall of many character actors was their ambition to make their own films. Mehmood managed it quite well for a time. but others, such as Deven Verma, Asrani, Mohan Choti, from among the few sought-after in those days, took to making their own films only to play the lead role and, in the process, stopped getting assignments from other makers.## Johnny Lever was a highly sought-after comic star, the best since Mehmood. His name in the cast brought people to cinema theatres. Filmmakers are prospect hunters. One well-known producer got this bright idea to cast Johnny in the lead and print some quick money!## Tempting though it would have sounded initially, Johnny sat over the offer for two months and decided he was better off doing what he was doing, playing a comic sidekick, and continuing to make the Rs 15-20 lakh (considered very high in those days) he was making per film, instead of falling for a lead role and losing it all.## Then followed an era when the character artists were out of favor almost totally. There were no writers who could pen a script involving many characters. No writer to script a near-three-hour film. On their part, the lead actors started doing it all. The hero filled in for all, negative, comic, buffoon, whatever.## Amitabh Bachchan's films accommodated many character actors but there came a time when just about every other character was woven into his and the films suffered. The same happened with other film heroes till Hindi filmmakers started remaking South Indian hits.## South Indian films and their remakes filled the screen with dozens of actors. Half-a-dozen comic villains such as Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Ranjeet, Tej Sapru, Asrani, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Amjad Khan, Anupam Kher, and so on.## Then came a phase when the lead heroes of yore staged a retune in character roles. Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Dharmendra, and then Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff were some.## But now, real character actors have staged a comeback. Not through the big bill commercial potboilers, but through small films by makers who chose closer-to-life stories. The films told stories a viewer could relate to. Their films, as a rule, were low- or moderate-budget productions, such as 'Fukrey', 'Vicky Donor', 'Piku', 'Kahaani', 'English Vinglish', 'Paan Singh Tomar'.## There are some character artists who have carved a niche for themselves. Certain films are identified with them, rather than the other way round!## There are actors such as Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra, Imraan, Rajesh Sharma, Deepak Dobriyal, Nawazudddin Siddiqui, Pitobash Tripathy, Atul Kulkarni, Manish Chaudhary, Ranveer Shorey, Brijendra Kala, Adil Hussain, Pawan Malhotra, Ali Fazal, Jimmy Shergill, Vipin Sharma, Annu Kapoor, Atul Kulkarni, Yashpal Sharma, Kay Kay Menon, Manoj Joshi, Ashutosh Rana, Arshad Warsi, Ronit Roy, Varun Sharma. The list can go on.## Sadly, most of these talents do not get their due in mainstream cinema. The story is the same. Our writers don't think of creating characters, besides the hero and villain (the heroine being mandatory). But, now, the popularity of some of the actors on OTT is compelling filmmakers to cast them.## Take for example, Pratik Gandhi. An unknown stage actor till the other day, he is now doing about half-a-dozen films. Imagine, Pankaj Tripathi is now seen in as many, if not more, television commercials as any top hero!## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Accuses Rhea Chakraborty Of Lying In The Public Domain To Protect Lot Of People

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has accused late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty for lying in the public domain with an intention to protect a lot of people. "The Tashkent Files" director alleged that drugs have been normalized in Bollywood over the past decade, bringing in its wake money and terror mafia. ## Speaking to IANS, the filmmaker said, "For the last 10 years, drugs, especially chemical substances, have been normalized in Bollywood by powerful people. Along with drugs comes a lot of criminality in terms of the money mafia and the terror mafia. All these kind of things come in all kinds of illegal, unethical, and criminal stuff is taking place. ## Talking about Rhea's contention that Sushant took Modafinil to overcome claustrophobia on a flight, Agnihotri said "I feel Rhea is absolutely lying in the public domain to protect lots of people.## Without taking names, the 46-year-old also alleged that several top Bollywood actors have an anti-India, anti-Hindu mindset, which was not the case in the film industry in the past.## "Obviously, along with the criminality, a lot of urban Naxals come into the picture and they are primarily anti-Hindu, anti-India, which is why you will find some of the top stars of India talking about leaving the country. They go stand in JNU or take sides with the Shaheen Bagh people".## "This has never happened in the industry in the past. Be it Dev Anand, Manoj Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan - everybody stood for the country. This is a new trend these people have started, of ganging up against the country", said the filmmaker. ## Stay tuned...
