Parda Hai Parda – Amar Akbar Anthony

Mohammad Rafi has got such a beautiful voice.

Amar Akbar Anthony was released in 1977 & it won several awards. The music was written by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Kishore Kumar sang for Amitabh & Mohammad Rafi sang for Rishi Kapoor. Btw, they are even thinking of making a re-make of Amar Akbar Anthony & that sounds more like a disaster in the making, cause Salman Khan & his two brothers will be the three brothers in the new version. What a nightmare! First of all, there's no need to make a remake & even if they are making, there are better options. Salman Khan is beautiful but he's too old now. I think Akshay Khanna, Abhishek & Ranbir Kapoor could have done it. There are also other actors such as Arjun Rampal, Hrithik Roshan & I'm sure they'd might do justice. Even Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi & Sikander Kher or Ranvir are some other options, if you want not that good-looking cast :P But I'm telling you all of them will look better than Salman Khan & his brothers. Moreover, I don't think they have anyone as pretty as Parveen Babi now. I'm not going to watch the remake at any cost.

Alright. You know I like the entire song but these lines were sang with so much passion:
'Khafa hokay chehra chupa lay,
Magar yaad rak husn wala
Jo hai aaj teri jawani,
Mera pyaar hai sard paani,
Main teray ghussay ko thanda na kar doon'

I also loved how Rishi Kapoor makes entry in the song...too cute. And his get-up is also cute.
What a pity we can't even say such things to anyone:
'Shabab pay mein zara si sharab phekunga
Kisi hasin ki taraf ye ghulab phekunga.'
No one is that beautiful but what an idea!

Angela Jonson is the new girl

It has been reported that Salman Khan has signed an exclusive deal with Angela Jonson. I’m sure most of you will remember she’s the Kingfisher calendar model & now she will star not just in Sher Khan but she will be seen in the sequel of Partner & also in the remake of Amar Akbar Anthony. Yeah this is indeed quite an exclusive deal!

Btw, all the three brothers Salman, Arbaaz & Sohail will feature in Amar Akbar Anthony. I really do not like the sound of it. I’m a huge fan of Salman Khan but I think he’s too old to play Amar, Akbar or Anthony. Moreover, Arbaaz & Sohail are too mediocre as compared to Amitabh, Rishi Kapoor & Vinod Khanna.

Moreover a little bird has been telling the media people something like this, "Angela's career in Bollywood wasn't taking off. But Salman and Sohail saw her potential and offered her an exclusive contract before she made the wrong career moves. Now she will be eligible for all of Salman's home productions, though they don't necessarily have to sign her for every film they make."

Confirming this, Sohail Khan says, "Yes she has signed an exclusive contract with us. But we haven't decided which film or films she will be doing. We think she has great potential. We will launch her."

So this is the story. The girl has the potential & let’s see if she can act or not but yes she has the potential & well wishers never want you to make the wrong move. But it would have been so much better if they cast younger lot for Amar Akbar Anthony. This sounds like a disaster in the making. We still have guys like Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan, Abhishek, Neil Nitin Mukesh...even Vivek is not bad :P After all, they are all young & they might do justice. But then I forget this is a home production. My mistake!

Amar Akbar Anthony

Nothing can match the good old classics and the title song of Amar Akbar Anthony is one of such thing. I find this song damn entertaining till this day. I love the powerful star cast as each character is so perfect for their roles. Rishi Kapoor as a Muslim singer was one of my personal favorites in this one. 

Do enjoy the video!

Abhishek's Triple A Honor

Abhishek Bachchan is known for his humble remarks and gratitude over the years. Although, the brilliant actor has not received too many awards nor has he given lots of box office hits but he is still quite a natural actor.

Recently he tweeted that he is so happy that he is one of the very few actors from his generation to have worked with the amazing trio of Amar Akbar Anthony. He considers it to be an honor to have worked with super stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna - the three lead actors of the 1977 super hit film. Abhishek feels humbled that in just over a decade he got the chance to work with these three fine actors of the Hindi cinema.

This is what Abhishak tweeted:

"Just did my 1st shot with Vinod uncle for 'Players'. I can now proudly say that I've worked with AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY!! awesomeness!"

"Don't know many actors of my generation that have been lucky enough to say that."

Abhishek is now 35 years old. He has already worked with his father Amitabh Bachchan in many movies like Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Paa. He worked with Rishi Kapoor in Delhi 6. And now he is working with Vinod Khanna in Players - the Hindi remake of The Italian Job.
