Bash I like only two movies of Mithunda! His very first one, Mrigyaa 1976 (a Mrinal Sen movie) and Sheesha - 1986 (with Moon Moon Sen and Mallika Sarabhai).

The rest were the usual commercial movies. His dancing ability in the movies probably is what that made the movies click.

His style of talking and dancing set the trend in 80's he he he!

Koi Shaque!

The biggest surprise of my life was my stay in Belgaum. That town was Mithun-crazy, I tell you!!
Yenny movie of MC would run to packed houses!! Amitabh, Shammi and Mithun could have ruled the town.

[Nimii]

Any particular reason for the craze Mandrake?

[Mandrake]

None that I can think of. They Just Liked Him!!

[Nimii]

I guess the town craze that spread like a rage

yeah, i heard about that. one of my friends told me: "u will be chocked when u will see the mithun craze
in villages. if in any festiv, the theatres don't show a mithun movie there will be a fight for sure ...


here r few things about mithun:

1. name: gouranga chakraborty ( born. June 16, 1947 )

2. graduated from film and television institute of india, pune. ( i never knew that )

3. first movie "mrigaya" in 1976 by mrinal sen.

4. filmfare awards for: jallad and agneepath ( supporting actor to mithun, best actor to amitabh bachchan )

5. won 3 national awards for the movies: mrigaya, taharader katha and ramakrishna

6. he left mainstream bollywood movies and started doing movies for developing his own movies.
these movies were mainly targeted towards people whose social status can at best be described as modest.

i think this is one of the reasons behind mithun craze in villages and towns. ooty is one such example
where he owns an entire series of hotels and people there are just crazy about him.

wat did u think of him?

Aaright Bash.

I personally liked Mithun more when he performed the poor down trodden bichara gharib village type person - like Agneepath. I have to say, I've only partly watched may be, a couple of his films.

I recently watched a little bit of Mithuns Bengoli village based film on Zee Cinema - bit I watched was enjoyable - when peforming serious roles - A CLASS ACT.

I however still have nightmares about Mithun attempting Michael Jacksons Thriller dance routine, wearing sparkly white (pimp/elvis style) skin tight clothes, cowboy boots and huge sunglasses ("Goggles"), reminded me of Richard Pryor - more suitable for "Blue Oyster Bar", if you know what I mean

Bash I admit I'm a bit biased - cos my family mostly only watched Big B, Dilip Kumar and Mehmood.

Same goes for my taste in music - family influence.

Take care.

no dnt Be silly yaar,

ur opinion is paramount cos its unique.

iNFACT- i think mithun was one the most under rated & acomplished actors of his generation.

some of his performances have been outstanding.

he was charimatic, hard working & comitted!

my only real critism of mithun wud be the fact he made a 100 0r 200 (l.o.l) more films than he shud have!

he was a true genuine, star hence ruling in the 80s.

look no further than mukul s. anands's...'agneepath 1990'.

p.s.

thats where i differ i never get influenced either by family or friends.

i just say & choose what i like regardless!

thanx yaar.

take care.

ok , when i was small kid in Afghanistan.........my cousin who was 5 years older than me , used to collect Methun's small photos .........he would draw all the cards stuff on the back of the photos........and he would play cards with that..........meanwhile, he had a big poster of mithun in his bedroom.........the one from "i'm a disco dancer" song..........he himself would sing this song too.........that's all i know about methun's fame in Afghanistan

[Dharmaan Khan]

Mithun was a class act, i respect him for he was totally dedicated to what he did, no matter how big or small a film he was working in. there are some outstanding scenes from his films like example, the scene in "ghulaami" where he kills bairav singh in the desert, and is brought in to the cop shop where he faces naseeruddin shah and bairav singhs brothers and naseeruddin shah asks him " kya yeh sach hai ke tum ne bairav singh ka khoon kiya hai"? to which mithun replies "maine bairav singh ka khoon nahin kiya, woh ladaai main mara gaya, kyonke pehla vaar usne kiya tha" the dialogue delivery of mithun in this scene is just amazing as the dialogue requires it, not lot of actors really think about their dialogue delivery, they just blirt it out. and his acting on the scene where he ties the jooda on a dead anita raaj, with zeehal e maskeen song (slow version sung by an uncredited Anuradha) playing in the background, one of my all time best scenes from hindi cinema.

and of course agneepath, the dialogues are amazing such as: "main apni maa ka ACHA beta hoon"
and "hamara nuskaan 325 rupees" ,wonderfull!!!

and many many more, To name a few PARIVAAR-1987, some amazing scenes in that, PYAR KA MANDIR-1988, Boxer 1984 (the confrontational scenes with Danny are just amazing), i could go on and on, lekin aaj ke liye itna hi kaafi hai.

[SAJJAD]

Not much WHY? lol He was a B- grade actor....
