When Salman sang the evergreen song Lag Jaa Gale, did he have anyone in mind?
'When I met him for the first time, it was when he visited the location of my first Hindi film Kashmir Ki Kali.' 'I was shooting the song Isharon Isharon Mein with Shashi's brother Shammi.' 'I couldn't concentrate on my romantic poses with Shammi.' 'Director Shakti Samanta had to ask Shashi to leave!'
'I was sure Amar Akbar Anthony would flop.'
Shor was a masterpiece and the song Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai, Maujon Ki Ravaani Hai, Zindagi Aur Kuch Bhi Nahin, Teri Meri Kahaani Hai plays in my mind every time I think of my sweet wife, who passed away nine years ago. A Ganesh Nadar applauds the fabulous songs in Manoj Kumar movies.
'Paap Aur Punya was not a success but I recall it with fondness because we had so much fun.' 'In one sequence, Shashi gets beaten by goons.' 'Saif toddled into the frame to rescue his Shashi Uncle from these bad people since no one else was doing the needful!'
Dinesh Raheja looks back at Manoj Kumar's brilliant 1964 thriller Woh Kaun Thi, and explains just what made it an audio-visual treat.
'Madhubala in Kala Pani looks divine and yet, she's not just there for glamour.' 'In Do Raaste, the character of Neelambari (played by Bindu) isn't a heroine in the traditional sense but she has such a pivotal role.' 'That Raj Khosla gave a non-heroine such a central role, instead of the heroine, says a lot about how he valued female characters.'
'I would rather focus on the good rather than what didn't happen.'
Prayag Raj, who was so successful at his peak, ought not to have slid into oblivion, observes Deepa Gahlot.
'He was a man of immense conviction.' 'Whenever I'd question him, he would say, "Leave aside your logic-wogic. Just do what I tell you".' '"Just trust me. It will work".'

'Shammi Kapoor and I began on an icy note during Raajkumar, but once the cold vibes thawed, we became the best of buddies.'
Sukanya Verma presents the changing faces of Shashi Kapoor.
Javed Akhtar is among the millions who believe that Lata Mangeshkar's voice is therapeutic.
'For those who like romance in their music, I suggest they search for this song.'
Yesteryear's heart-throb Shashi Kapoor will get the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award for his contribution to Indian cinema. On this occasion, we reproduce Dinesh Raheja's nostalgia piece on the actor here:
From Awaara to Deewar to Junoon to In Custody, Shashi Kapoor leaves us many movies to love and remember him by.
'He personified the kind of debonair charm, sublime sensuality and unabashed romance women fantasise about,' says Sukanya Verma.
'The news that the once dashing, absolutely handsome, utterly charming Shashi Kapoor is no more makes me feel terribly sad.' Aseem Chhabra, author of Shashi Kapoor: The Householder, the Star, pays rich tribute to the iconic actor.
'While we conversed in Marathi, she would always make it a point to ask me in English, "Are you okay? Have you eaten?"' 'I sorely miss that care and concern.'
'The source of our music, the very notes of music itself have fallen silent.'
'Bollywood feels like a dream.' 'I never thought I would be a part of it, but I am glad that I am.'
Sukanya Verma presents a playlist of 100 Lata Mangeshkar songs from different decades of Hindi films -- songs that make me sing, smile, sob and sigh.
'Disney is presenting Black Panther as Manoj Muntashir's film.' 'Such a big studio, a billion dollar film is being released as Manoj Muntashir's film.' 'It is in the same space of Baahubali, which I wrote.' 'The film has got a kingdom, kings, treachery... things which are very much up my alley.'
