He did not need any appurtenances to portray his evil nature onscreen – just a glare from his remarkable eyes, along with his steely voice, and a sneer – where enough.
Pran, however, sought to imbue each performance – whether as villain or supporting actor – with something different, be it mannerisms, make-up, and proper accents. Remember his outings as a Pathan, a Nepali, a Bhopali, and a Goan, or the ones in which he modelled his appearance on Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, Abraham Lincoln, or Sam Pitroda?
Born on this day (February 12) in Delhi in 1920, Pran may not have been a "method actor" but he had natural talent and acute powers of observation of different types of people that he artfully incorporated into his performances.
In the process, he transformed the Hindi film villain from a stereotype to a well-delineated character, who did not even require the willing suspension of disbelief needed for most cinematic performances.

ReviewWhile the initial few scenes seem passable despite being overly dramatic, later the performances become loud and the extreme black-and-white nature of the film’s morality doesn’t help either.ShuklajiCourtesy: Anand AudioIn essence, director Shashank’s latest film Love 360 is all about implausibility. Set in a world where two orphans grow up together to become ardent lovers, the film harks back to the quintessential melodrama that one found in the works of Puttanna Kanagal or Balu Mahendra. The threat of danger and detachment around them is almost palpable, with the entire world contriving to meddle with the idea of pure love. And yet, love must prevail over everything. Ram (Praveen) dotes on Janaki (Rachana Inder) with the passion of a valiant guardian. Although the basis is love, Janaki’s Dissociative Amnesia (the makers refer to it as ‘Selective Memory Loss’ in the film) prevents her from being an equal member of the relationship,...

We have been subjected to a long wait for Reema Kagti’s Talaash to release in cinemas and it will finally be doing so on 30 November 2012. This crime thriller stars not one, not two, but three superstars in the leading roles, which adds to the film’s appeal. They are Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. Hopefully this film will be another great entertainer for us all in a year when we have seen some pretty amazing films coming out of Bollywood. The music to Talaash has been composed by Ram Sampath, who has given us albums like Delhi Belly (2011) and Khakee (2004). The lyrics have been written by the legendary Javed Akhtar, who has recently provided lyrics for soundtracks like Don 2 (2011) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011). So is the soundtrack to Talaash worth listening? Well let’s take a look and assess whether or not it is.

Farhan thanked his father on twitter for the poems, “It’s so fantastic that everyone loves the poems in Znmd. Thank you pa for injecting soul into the film with your gifted hand.”
Since as soon as we were done watching the film we were looking for these lines of poetry we thought you probably would be too, so here are the four shaaryi from Zindai Na Milegi Dobara!

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti

…Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai
Khushboo si hai...
