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) |

(Sunil) Kundan (1955)
Sohrab Modi, who made a name for himself by making movies based on history in a grand scale, made this movie based on a social theme. The story was lifted from the great French novelist Victor Huogo's 1862 book "Les Miserables". This novel is considered to be one of the greatest classics of this world. Its English translation is a tome consisting of over 1200 pages subdivided into five small volumes with over 360 chapters. It dealt with religion, politics, and society in general. It revolves around a ex-convict who becomes reformed but can't escape his past. It was made into a movie in several languages. In English itself it was made at least three times I know of. A musical based on it has been a Broadway smash breaking several records during its run. This movie was made in Telugu five years earlier than Modi by Nagayya. "Beedala Paatlu" starred Nagayya himself. I have three songs from this movie whose quality isn't that great. I will not be uploading them. The music for "Kundan" was provided by Ghulam Mohammad. It has several beautiful songs. Most of these songs are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you. Here are the songs ...
