Hrishikesh Mukherjee may have been a hard taskmaster but I think even he had to bow down to her childish <i>nakhras</i> I read somewhere that now that she has aged and is a mature person, she feels a bit embarrassed about her behaviour.<br />The few scenes that my father had in CSM were such that he had the opportunity to perform. BTW, I do not know whether you are aware and whether you had the time to see the clips, I have discovered a new tool, tube chop (www.tubechop.com). It is very useful, you can chop off the scenes you want to share, it can be used only for You Tube, so for the previous post and this one I have been having fun using it. You do not need to say that the scene comes in at so and so.Shilpi Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815522172951304358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340457758972439602.post-39740064793572130752013-11-12T07:02:43.362-08:002013-11-12T07:02:43.362-08:00Coming to this after a long time, Shilpi. :(
It ...Coming to this after a long time, Shilpi. :( <br /><br />It is nice to come here and read all the trivia associated with the films you write about. I too watched CSM and wondered what the heck Uttam Kumar was doing in it. :) He looked so uncomfortable in the song-and-dance scenes. <br /><br /><i> and is not too concerned about her attire, hairdo and dimples, she is capable of some excellent performance.</i> <br /><br />Oh, how true! I had read once that Hrishida was quite upset with Sharmila for not letting go of her beehive hairdo for <i>Anupama</i>. He felt it didn't go with her character. I must admit to being surprised though. Hrishida had a reputation for being a very stern taskmaster and not giving in to <i>nakhras</i>. I wonder why he let Sharmila have her way. (She did act well in that, though.)<br /><br />I don't remember CSM very well, but I do remember your father in <i>Chhoti Bahu</i> - he was so good. And so was Nirupa Roy - she had a very different role than her usual motherly ones.

That would have been an unusual pairing! they never acted together, did they?<br />I also didn't know about Yogeeta Bali playing the younger Vyju or for that matter she was a child artist as well.<br />The smoke bomb accident was tragic though!<br />Lovely post, Shilpi!

SJ had composed a number of serene romantic songs for heroes like Rajendra Kumar and the management of CSM could easily have chosen that model.<br />Well, that is all IFsa nd BUTs of History.. now....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340457758972439602.post-64715517330009535412013-10-31T21:52:06.122-07:002013-10-31T21:52:06.122-07:00I second Raja, Shilpi!

I really enjoy your posts. :-) <br /><br />I've seen Choti si Mulaqat quite a few times, so I know all your father's scenes from it pretty well. And yes, the expression on his face when he sees his little daughter as a bride is superb. Choti Bahu I haven't seen for many years now, so my memories of it are hazy... I just remember finding Sharmila Tagore's character far too irritating in that. <br /><br />By the way, yesterday someone commented on my blog, saying that if one were to list the most versatile actors in Hindi cinema, Pran and Tarun Bose would be right up there.
