Which Bollywood actresses refused to work with legendary Bollywood actor/director/producer Raj Kapoor?
There are many reasons for actors/actresses not working with a director. It can be date problems, payment issues, dislikement for script but one offer of Raj Kapoor was turned down by actress Suchitra Sen for some other reason.
Suchitra Sen despite being a cheerful person was yet moody, selective and used to take her decisions guided by her own temperament. It becomes a bit difficult for a director to convince such actors and therefore they usually try out something different to make them feel special. Raj Kapoor tried something on his part which did not work in the favour of the director.
Raj Kapoor met Suchitra Sen at her Kolkatta residence with an offer for a R. K Film. Raj Kapoor suddenly knelt before her and offered her a bouquet of roses while offering her the role. Suchitra was instantly on backfoot by Raj Kapoor's effusiveness.
The question in her mind was, “Why a man has to bow down before a woman like this”?
She was polite enough to refuse Raj Kapoor's offer.

What is wrong with Bollywood?
I recently saw the trailer of the much anticipated movie- Kedarnath.
And something which I intuitively wanted to see was how sensitively it deals and addresses the tragedy of the Kedarnath floods.
Well! Let’s have a quick, IMPORTANT fact check
- More than 5,700 people were feared to have died during the massive floods.
- More than 4,000 people were recorded as 'lost' and are still not found.
- More than 12,000 houses were damaged.
- Stranded people were looted, women were raped, dead bodies were mutiliated so that the jewelry worn could be stolen.
- It incurred a loss of more than INR 12,000 crores to the state.
It was an event which sent waves of emotional trauma across the lengths and breadths of our nation.
It was an incident mourned by people.
So many families were seperated, children became parentless and what not.
It was one of the worst tragedies of India in the 21st century.
In a nutshell,
THE FLOODS AT KEDARNATH WERE A FREAKING TRAGEDY AND NOT A HYPOTHETICAL PLOT TO SET UP YET ANOTHER LOVE STORY.
But, but, but, our Bollywood pays very little, I should rather say, the least bit of mercy towards events with a traumatic past.
Digging up a love story at every and any place IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
Bollywood, please learn to respect the sentiments of the people who feed your industry.
A steamy kissing scene to grab eyeballs won’t do any good.
If you really had plans to make a movie on this tragedy, you should have done it on the real life heroes who saved people during that peak time of hopelessness- be it Army, NGOs, individuals who saved even a single life!
That would have earned you much more respect in the eyes of the audience than a love story set in a tragic setting against your stereotypical popular idea of sensationalising every issue.
- Economic disparity between the hero and heroine? Check.
- Religious differences between the hero and heroine? Check.
- A contemporary issue to grab attention of people? Check.
With the tagline ‘Love is a pilgrimage’, the film is reportedly a unique love story of a Muslim pithoo (Sushant) and a Hindu tourist (Sara), set in the backdrop of the Uttarakhand floods that left the state devastated in 2013.
An incident which left more than 5000 people dead, 22,000 stranded is not something that should be go down the history as one on which a freakin' love story was made.
Just for a moment stop tainting every serious issue with a romantic lens.
Not every issue is meant to be romanticised and sold to the masses.
Respect the emotional upheaval and painful memories people have with such a sorrowful incident.
Grow up Bollywood.

Which are some of the darkest Bollywood movies?
An Indian man named Anil,
Drives on a highway to go to a hotel called as “No smoking” in a very remote highway area.
The hotel staff would welcome him,
But warn him strictly of not smoking inside the hotel, and the board of “no smoking” seems to be everywhere even in the room.
Being stubborn as he is,
Anil proceeds to lock the room door afterwards, taking out the cigarette to have a smoke in secret,
The hotel staff senses it, gets intimidated, knocks on the door,
Takes Anil out of the room,
Takes out a gun,
And forcefully takes Anil to a basement trapped with dead bodies, telling him he’s going to have to be there for 6 months to stop smoking,
The hotel staff then t-rtures Anil for 6 months in absolute isolation, with constant brainwash.
Apparently the hotel staff is a psychopath, with a trauma of losing his father to death because his father was a chain smoker.
Fast forward 6 months later Anil is seen to be the new hotel staff, seeming to have the same body language and mannerisms of the previous psychopathic hotel staff,
Welcomes a new guy.
Anil smiles and tells him not to smoke and the guy is stubborn again, takes out a cigarette and blows the cigarettes smoke on Anil’s face and laughs,
Immediately Anil shoots him, and smiles… walking towards the psychopathic hotel staff, as they sit together they’d have the same body language and smile at each other while watching Tom and Jerry cartoon on TV.
Humans are easily adaptable, easily influenced and easily brainwashed,
Once there is some sort of intelligent manipulation involved.
Even if that’s to trauma.
To call oneself “self made” is the highest form of inexperienced naivety.
Who you are as a person,
Perhaps is not really you,
But a mixture of your environment that was and is the closest to you.
Your body language,
Your nature,
The way you walk… talk… sit… stand… welcome others or even treat others,
It’s all adaptable.
Through subtle or obvious ways.
It’s interesting how after 6 months of constant torture in the hands of a psychopath, Anil became a psychopath himself.
Adapting the same body language, facial expressions and gestures of the psychopath.
Victims, after all…
In the hands of those that were supposed to protect us,
Ends up making us as an extension of themselves…
Victims, after all…
Aren’t we all? -Eric Draven

Such, beauty.

Which Bollywood movies from the 90s have aged the best?
90s decade has been very special for bollywood. It was the era of musical cinema. Many romantic movies were released with chartbuster music. Many young actors debuted and delivered vulnerable soft boy roles which shaped the bollywood. It is true that 90s movies had memorable music which is still very much relevant, however, many movies didn't age well in terms of plot and technicalities.
Here, I am going to list down Bollywood movies from the 90s which have aged very well:
Jo jeeta Wohi Sikandar: This movie was released in 1992. It is based on college rivalry and sports competition. Jatin Lalit has delivered chartbuster songs for the movie. Pehla Nasha due to its melodious tune and slow motion cinematography is still iconic. ‘Yaha Ke Hum Sikandar is still very much relevant and used and rememberd on multiple occasions for motivational purposes. The locations used for filming are mesmerizing and nostalgic. All the actors performed their role very well. Development of Sanjay’s character is very well portrayed. The intense rivalry and romance of college life has been shown in a very entertaining way. The message of the movie to do hard work to achieve goals rather than taking short cuts instills itself into audience’s mind. Due to all these reasons, the movie has aged very well and is still very much watchable.
Maine Pyar Kiya: This movie was released in 1989. It was the debut movie for Suraj Barjatya as a director and Salman and Bhagyashree as lead actors. Despite not having any big star, movie did exceptional business and became big part of Indian pop culture. Script was written very carefully by Barjatya. Almost all songs are filled with emotions and advance the story very well. Emotional scenes have been crafted and placed in the movie perfectly. While Some scenes in the first half seem a bit slow, overall it provides good entertainment with emotional and intense performances. Due to well-thought script and impeccable performances, this movie has aged very well.
In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones: Arundhati Roy has written the screenplay and story of the movie. It is based on the life of Indian architecture students in the 1960s. Despite not being mainstream cinema with a high budget and masala elements, the movie grabs the attention of the audience through a raw and engaging portrayal of students and their academic struggles. The makers of the movie has been very successful to develop characters of several students with distinct characteristics. All of them have their own personalities and perspectives on life. The Utilization of Beatles and Rolling Stones songs in different scenes increases their impact. This is one of the gems of Indian cinema.
Hum dil de chuke Sanam: This movie was released in 1999. It stars Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Ajay Devgan in lead roles. This is the best work of Sanjay Leela Bhansali so far. The romantic chemistry between Salman and Aishwarya is great. Songs like "Aankhon ki Gustakhiya" and "Chaand Chupa" were picturized very well and show their romantic intensity effectively. Also, the emotional intensity during their detachment is captured beautifully through the song "Tadap Tadap Ke." Additionally, Ajay Devgan played the role of Vanraj impeccably. The chemistry between Ajay and Aishwarya was developed very well. Overall, all the actors played their roles naturally. The movie delivers its message, "Sacrifice is the second name of love," very powerfully.
Satya: This movie was released in 1998. It is the peak work of Ram Gopal Varma. The raw portrayal of Mumbai’s underworld is incomparable. The roles played by all the actors seem realistic and convincing. The role of Bhiku Mhatre was played wonderfully by Manoj Bajpayee. J.D. Chakravarthy and Urmila also played their roles of Satya and Vidya very well. Overall, all the scenes in the movie are really strong; however, one scene surprised me a lot. When Satya and Vidya go to a movie and police surround the theatre, it seems like there is no way for Satya to escape. However, he performs a clever move by shooting bullets to panic the audience and take advantage of the chaos to escape. Additionally, the climax scene is very emotional and heart-touching.
Sarfarosh: This movie was released in 1999. Aamir Khan plays the role of an IPS officer. The story revolves around how terrorism and naxalite activities are carried out in India and how IPS Ajay (Aamir Khan), who personally suffered from these terrorists, advances the investigation. Sarfarosh was ahead of its time. When there was a bombardment of rom-coms in Bollywood in the late 90s, Aamir Khan came up with this fresh script. Additionally, the romance between Ajay and Seema (Sonali Bendre) seems very natural. Songs such as "Ek Deewane Ladke Ko" and "Jo Haal Dil Ka" are very well woven to enhance their chemistry. The song "Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya" by Jagjit Singh is still very much relevant.
Andaz Apna Apna: This movie was released in 1994. The basic plot revolves around the characters Amar, Prem, Raveena, and Karishma, played by Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Karishma Kapoor, and Raveena Tandon respectively. Karishma is the daughter of a rich businessman, Ram Gopal Bajaj, played by Paresh Rawal. She has returned to India to marry an Indian man. How Amar and Prem use different tactics to woo her is the core of the story. All the actors played their roles very well. The comedy has aged very well due to the innovative writing by Rajkumar Santoshi. The humor mostly relies on slapstick gags, wordplay, and parodies of other Bollywood movies and real-life anecdotes. The chemistry between Amar and Prem elevates the movie to another level. The dialogues are prevalent in Indian pop culture and still relevant. The movie has high rewatchable value and has aged like fine wine.
Note: Currently I have listed only movies which I have watched completely. There may be few more movies which have aged very well but not in the list.
Which 90s Bollywood actor did the best fight scenes, and in which movie?
In the 90’s there were multiple action heroes like Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty, Ajay Devgan who replaced the older group of action heroes (Mithun, Jackie, Anil). Sunny and Sanjay Dutt managed to maintain their stardom in 90’s and to an extent even Anil but the biggest hits of 90’s were generally family movies particularly after the monumental success of Ham Aapke hai Kaun and DDLJ. Salman Khan also did action films more than the other two Khans SRK and Aamir. SRK did a risky action scene in Koyla and Aamir did a dangerous stunt near railway track n Ghulam.
Among all of them, Akshay Kumar stood out for his great action scenes. Some of his popular action scenes included the fight with (fake) Undertaker in Khiladiyon ka Khiladi, the helicopter scene in Khiladi 420, which was really dangerous from Indian standard or in Angaarey (1998) where he jumped from 7th floor to the 4th floor of another building.
Ajay Devgan also did some great action like the bike stunt in Phool aur Kaante, or his martial arts in Jigar (which was scene by scene copied from a Hollywood film) which established him as a major action hero.
Which Bollywood actors are directly related to Dawood Ibrahim?
There was a time when underworld had a strong hold in the industry but as the 90’s decade came to an end many film corporate companies came into existence and funding for films became easy.
But still the underworld connections cannot be ruled out. SRK has openly admitted a conversation with Chota Shakeel stating that he was said to hear a story and then decide for a film. He has also received threat calls from Abu Salem and also received death threats after the movie Happy New Year.
Insiders say that the underworld still holds a grip as film revenue from the overseas has increased a lot. But stars prefer to stay far from them learning from the past that even if you pay protection money you are not secure which was cleared in the Gulshan Kumar murder case.
They do not follow ethics.
