(Amitabh) Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998)

Amitabh was desperately looking for a hit for some time. Finally it happened. This film, in which he was paired with Govinda, and directed by David Dhawan who made himself a specialist in making successful comedies was a modest hit. Amitabh was so sure that this movie was going to hit the bull's eye that he purchased its distribution rights for some of the territories.

The movie itself was loosely based on Shakespeare's play "Comedy of Errors" and borrowed heavily from the 1995 Hollywood hit "Bad Boys". Both of these subjects enjoyed proven winning formulas. To add to the fun, the movie boasted several hit songs with the music composed by Viju Shah.

Here are the songs from this album...

(Amitabh) Hero Hindustani (1998)

Arshad Warsi dominated the proceedings in this film with his trademark energetic performance. The film has several nice songs composed by Anu Malik. Amitabh didn't act in the movie but narrated the story with an introduction. I am uploading these in two back-to-back posts.

Here is the first set...

(Jeetendra) Tohfa (1984)

Here is yet another film with the usual masala ingredients that was expected from the films made in South, especially during this period in early 80's. There is Jeetendra teamed here with both Jaya Prada and Sridevi. There is Shakti Kapoor who is joined with Kader Khan. There is Bappi Lahiri doing his usual stuff while Indeewar again writing the lyrics. There is plenty of Asha and Kishore. But the difference this time was the movie had a bit of story. That combined with catchy songs helped it to become a hit. Bappi was even nominated for the Best Music Director Award by Filmfare. Bappi was nominated not once or twice but three times for the Filmfare Award in 1984. These were "Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki", "Sharaabi", and "Tohfa". He won the award for "Sharaabi". Indeewar was nominated for the Best Lyricist Award for the title song but lost to Hasan Kamal for the title song from "Aaj ki Awaz".

Here are these popular songs from an original soundtrack album...

(Amitabh) Major Saab (1998)

This was the third film Amitabh's own company produced. Finally Amitabh played a role of an experienced officer instead of his usual angry young man's role that made him initially famous. With several good songs, the movie was a modest hit.

Songs for this film were written by Anand Raj Anand and Dev Kohli. I do not have a breakdown of who wrote which song. Please kindly share this information if you can. Thanks.

Here are the songs from this album...

Raz,

I am not too good at this but can give it a try. Please note that because I don't know or understand Punjabi the task is even harder.

Cheers,

(Amitabh) Biwi No. 1 (1999)

This movie deals with the subject of a philandering husband who supposedly had a happy and contained family. The big difference here is that instead of a usual weeper, in the hands of the director David Dhawan, what we have is a comedy. Dhawan showed with his previous work that he can be best when it comes to comedy. This movie is an example of why that is so.

"Biwi" was based on a Tamil film, the story of which was attributed to the actor Kamal Haasan. What makes the Hindi film engaging is two lively performances by Sushmita Sen and Anil Kapoor. Sushmita, a world recognized beauty, never was able to break through the ranks and files of the Bombay film world. But in this movie she did the best of her opportunity. Anil Kapoor, who has proven time and again that what a real pro he is, was also a riot. To add to all the zaniness, there are several catchy and hit songs. Music director Anu Malik along with the co music director Sukhwinder Singh helped the mood of the film with some of their best work.

Amitabh along with Saif Ali Khan had guest appearances in this big hit film. I am uploading popular songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set...
