Saat Saath
Musings & Amusings With threads on the "Muse & Music", "Three Reigning Queens", and "One of a Kind" in steady progress, I thought I will divert my attention to some other actors of the last half of the last century whose work has resulted in some great music. I received feelers from several members to start something like this, even though not at this scale. With these thoughts in mind, I have selected to look into the works of seven actors. These are: Amitabh Bachchan Dharmendra Jeetendra Manoj Kumar Raaj Kumar Rajendra Kumar Sunil Dutt Between them they made nealy 1200 movies. Starting today, I will post albums from their movies, probably one for each day. I happen to have CDs of most of this work, but may need occasional help. The Forum members have been gracefully great in cooperating. Thank you for all your suport. I am hoping I will continue to get similar support for this thread as well. Now let us look at the individual filmographies of these actors ... This post has been edited by swarapriya: Dec 24 2009, 10:41 PM Attached image(s) |

In 60’s and early 70’s his star had a meteoric rise. Almost every film he made was a jubilee hit. Apparently at one point, he had seven jubilee films, all running at the same time. This earned him the nickname “Jubilee Hero”. Like many other stars, his star status declined by mid 1970’s. Then he was back in form at the end of 70’s by playing more mature roles starting with “Saajan Bina Suhaagan (1978)”. Rajendra produced and directed few movies. He tried to launch his son Kumar Gaurav as an actor but wasn’t successful. Rajendra never won any wards for the movies he was in though was nominated a few times. He acted in nearly 100 movies in a career spanning 48 years. Here is his filmography … Attached image(s) |
