My First Hindi Venture


What made me produce "Ram Aur Shyam" is the question often asked of me. Well, primarily, I had the right basic ingredient, an absorbing story that could prove to be a highly entertaining screen spectacle. The encouraging factor was the remarkable success that attended the Telugu and Tamil films of this story.

The decisive factor was of course, the inimitable Dilip Kumar. When Dilip Kumar agreed to enact his First Dual Role as Ram and Shyam. I needed no further reassurance. I decided to produce Ram Aur Shyam, my first Hindi vehicle and Ram Aur Shyam was the biggest runway superhit of 1967. 

In graceful Waheeda Rehman, we had an artiste of matching calibre of Dilip Kumar. She has brought to the role of Anjana, Shyam's love, great depth and poignancy. Mumtaz too get a perfect role as the charming Shanta.

Perfect team work from artistes and technicians has marked the smooth course of this production.

Music Maestro Naushad's tunes has permeated the whole film with the pleasant aura of sweet melody.

 Tough guy SUNIL SHETTY is nowadays facing the toughest time of his life. He has been having all big banner films going for him, but somehow they are failing to make it big at the box-office. First his much-hyped and lavishly- made film `Krishna' after getting a bumper initial flopped miserably, giving jitters to the man, who had over-confidently made a conscious effort to spread rumours of retirement to attract some pre-release publicity for the film. But as he continued signing new films every month, `Shastra', which had his very popular number `Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro' with Anjali Jatthar, bombed. Even, reports of his recently released Jaydev Thackeray presentation `Sapoot' (co-starring Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Sonali Bendre) are also not favourable. So now, all of Sunil's hope's to resurrect his sagging career rest on `Rakshak' (where he again has another mass appeal number `Shehar ki ladki' with Raveena). And only time can tell how much ...

  Go 5 es 29 Nov 1999 - 4 Sep 2009 OCT NOV MAR 29 1998 1999 2009       About this capture SALMAN KHAN Major ups and major downs have marked Salman Khan's career. But right now Salman is poised on the brink of a major success called  Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai . The film directed by Deepak Sarin has Salman in solo lead opposite Twinkle Khanna. This will be a Salman's second hit as  Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya  released eight weeks before  Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai  was declared a hit, and the only hit of 1998. Incredibly Salman Khan holds the record of having four successive hits which three have been successive top grossers:  Maine Pyar Kiya,  Saajan,  Hum Aapke Hain Koun  and hard to believe but true,  Karan Arjun . When  Karan Arjun  was released six months after HAHK   and it became a big hit Salman Khan had re-arrived and this time he was staying. The ban by the press and the we-don't-want-any-Salman stand...
