He joined the industry in 1957 and passed away in 1972, he was around for just 15 years.

It has been wonderful to "meet" you this way through Madhumati, especially after hearing a lot about you from Greta. <br /><br />I have enhanced appreciation for the craft of this film after reading your comments about it. Bimal Roy's attention to detail - and yours, by the way - is astonishing. While watching the film and being absorbed in it one has the gestalt sense of a more polished and thoughtful product than many other films of the era. In reading your comments about background score, framing of shots, use of costume, and so on, the details that give that overall sense begin to resolve into view. <br /><br />Also your mention of the Johnny Walker thread in the film, of its quality and integration, echo discussions I had about how this film had a bit of a masala feel relative to Bimal Roy's other movies. <br /><br />I look forward to learning more from you!<br /><br />Take care,<br />carlacarla (Filmi Geek)http://filmigeek.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340457758972439602.post-4022110201518103672013-05-14T10:01:28.567-07:002013-05-14T10:01:28.567-07:00Thank you much maitrimanthasn.Thank you much maitrimanthasn.Shilpi Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815522172951304358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340457758972439602.post-83464938303101467362013-05-13T00:35:22.675-07:002013-05-13T00:35:22.675-07:00Awesome Shilpi ji.

So many untold stories getting an airing, I feel like a child opening a treasure chest. :) Thank you so much for these little-known details; I remember mourning the fact that <i>Haal-e-dil</i> was cut short, and my father telling me much the same thing you said - why would a man in a rage wait for a <i>mujra</i> to finish? Now I can tell my father that he was right - Bimal Roy thought so too!

You always offer such interesting insights into film-making, things that aren't immediately obvious - for instance, that bit about the song being interrupted. So true, someone who's in a rage will not wait for the song to end!<br /><br />I have always liked Bimal Roy's films a lot, but your anecdotes about him are making me respect and appreciate him even more.
