His Epic Mother India the remake of his own creation Aurat earned him the lot of fame international cinema. It was the first Indian movie to be nominated for Oscar. Although his Aan was not the first coloured movie yet he forced the other producer directors to switchover to the coloured screen.
Aurat brought the strong development in ideological cinema but Roti depicts the clear and strong socialist idea makes it the realistic film.
Politically and socially enlightened young man ,Ramzaan Khan later known as Mehboob Khan was born in Bilimora, Gujarat in 1907 to a poor family and worked in horse stable fixing the horseshoe and one day he accompanied Noor Muhammad Ali Muhammed Shipra (producer and horse supplier in Indian cinema) to Bombay to make a career in movies. Mehboob’s support of the farmers and the rural population as well a his strong criticism of western influences on Indian society remain the major topic of his films.
He started to direct his own movies in the mid 1930s, the films he made after India became independent are regarded as his masterpieces. His social concern and political views soon became the foundation of his attempt to create realistic films for the masses.


In 1949 Mehboob released his famous Andaaz starring three of India’s finest actors: Nargis, Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar. In Andaaz Mehboob shows how western influence on personal relationships destroys a woman and her marriage.
Together with his cameraman Faredoon Irani Mehboob constantly tried to work out new styles and possibilities in his movies.
Mehboob last release Son Of India was a commercial failure. His next project could not be finished. Mehboob died in 1964. Together with Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy and Guru Dutt he is among those who defined Indian post independent cinema and who were able to combine commercial cinema with political views and social concern.

Khan has directed many blockbuster films the most notable being Andaz (1949), Aan (1951) and Mother India (1957), which was nominated for an Academy Award in 1957 He has directed 21 other films dating from the late 1930s. His earlier works were in Urdu, but his later material, including Mother India, were in Hindi.

Most films and even daily soaps feature Karva Chauth as an important ritual and tradition. It comes as surprise because of marriage, as an institution has huge prominence in India. This year, Karva Chauth happens to be on 27th October 2018. 

Karva Chauth is incomplete without Sargi. In fact, Sargi is synonymous with this festival as it highlights the deep-rooted love and respect in the Indian families. Sargi is a pre-dawn meal provided by the mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law before Karva Chauth.

Karva Chauth Sargi comprises of sweet and salty snacks such as Matthi, mithai, dry fruits and some gifts. Baya is followed by Sargi. Like Sargi is a gift from the mother-in-law, the Baya is sent by the girl’s mother. These gifts mark the importance of this occasion as the girl fasts for the life longevity of her husband.

Indians abroad celebrate and rejoice the festival in their own way Ranjeet Singh Ahluwalia has come up with a photo feature of the celebrations organised in NewZealand by Rainbow Ladies Club.

Indians away from home still highlight their culturally alive spirits.

 

 

 

Promoting Hindi language is my duty: Pankaj Tripathi

Pankaj-Tripathi

Generally, I don’t use common Hindi words while communicating. I use a bit difficult Hindi words on set.

Pankaj Tripathi says he is a Hindi cinema actor so, promoting the Hindi language is his duty.

“Being a responsible citizen of India and coming from a Hindi medium school, I believe it’s my responsibility and duty to teach and correct Hindi. While shooting for Shakeela biopic, my director Indrajit Lankesh used to tell me to speak in Hindi with him so that his Hindi could improve,” Pankaj said in a statement.

“Generally, I don’t use common Hindi words while communicating. I use a bit difficult Hindi words on set. Crew members often used to ask me the meaning of those Hindi words. They were excited to learn meaning of new Hindi words. It wasn’t difficult communicating with Bengaluru crew members on sets of Shakeela biopic. I am a Hindi cinema actor, promoting Hindi language is my duty,” he added.

The film is based on South Indian glamour actress Shakeela.
