#Comic No.127 & Sushma
My friend Alok,who is making a documentary over Indian comic industry sent these fresh pics of cartoonist "Pran",which he clicked during his interview a few days back.
The name of 'Pran' is taken with great respect in the name of comic industry,his creations "Chacha Chaudhry,Raman,Billoo,Pinky" etc doesn't require any introduction.
So rightly here are the few snaps of Pran in action,its very 1st time to see a Indian illustrator in action,all thanks to Alok only.
Alok with master craftsman...
Something about him...

His famous creations....


In last post we discussed about Bal Pocket Books and popular Hindi novelists.In this post we will discuss in very brief about some of the popular Hindi film magazines and some other left out novels.Kuldeep,you may be remembering i mentioned about 'Sushma' in last post.
'Shama(Urdu) & Sushma(Hindi)' were a pioneer and very popular film magazine of Indian Hindi movies.I remember reading lots of Sushma and a few Shamas.The editorial article and stories were used to be very entertaining including other articles from veteran film industry personalities.
Here are the few vintage Sushma covers of 80's.




Shama/Sushma were at the peak of popularity in 70's and 80's as they were the first magazine to start highly prized quizzes based on Indian Hindi movies.The cross-word puzzle of Shama and questioner quiz of Sushma were highly popular among Indian masses,in late 80's and early 90's Sushma was the lone magazine to give Televisions as reward for its quizzes.I too have won a audio cassette from one such quiz from Sushma.
One such article popular article was 'Sushma Sabha' in which witty/funny/light questions of readers were answered by the magazine in a very interesting and entertaining manner. Here is the image of one such page from Sushma.Read them yourself to find the quality of those answers.


Has anyone seen a better pic than this of cute and innocent beauty of Dimple Kapadia...

Deep,the next one is for you,have you ever seen Dharam paji's such a young picture....this one is from the 'Muhurat' of his movie "Shola Aur Shabnam"

A vintage ad and Sushma of 90's....


Coming back to novels,here are some covers of novels contributed by Deep,have a look and say thanks to him.






Also some novel covers from my side of the likes of 'Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya' and 'Devkinandan Khatri' who wrote 'Chandrakanta & Bhutnath',and VPS on the similar lines also wrote up 'Devkanta Santati'.I read few parts of Devkanta Santati and find them just ok,what you think about them Kuldeep!



In the last,finally comic for this post.Its a Fauladi Singh comic,sorry for missing cover,if anyone have its cover then pls send so that it can be included here.

(P.S:Indrajal comics and Phantom lovers,from a long time i strayed away from posting Indrajal comics and other Phantom/Mandrake stuff,but don't worry will be coming back soon with Indrajal comics.)

#Whats in the name!!!!
Shakespeare said that "whats in the name..", but this quote doesn't applies on our bollywood nomenclature.Mohd.Yusuf Khan becomes Dilip Kumar, Rajiv Bhatia becomes Akshay Kumar and Ravi Kapoor becomes Jitendra.

Name change culture normally prevails in Bollywood because of reasons based on purely astrological and numerological believes of the stars; Aditya Pancholi adds extra 's' in the name and becomes Aditya Panscholi in order to get most thrived success,Sunil Shetty adds extra 'e' and becomes Suneil Shetty for the same purpose.
It would be interesting to know the pre and post names of some of the popular stars of Bollywood for visitors having interest in Hindi Films and their actors/actresses.

Filmy Name Vs Real Name
1.Ashok Kumar----Kumudlal Kunjilal Ganguly
2.Kishore Kumar----Aabhas Kumar
3.Pradip Kumar-----SheetalDas Batvyal
4.Sunil Dutt---------Balraj Dutt
5.Sanjeev Kumar----Harihar Bhai Jariwala Jethawala
6.Jeevan------------O.K.Dhar
7.Shakti Kapoor-----Sunil Kapoor
8.Ranjit-------------Gopal Bedi
9.Gulzar (Lyricist)-------------Sardar Sampuran Singh
10.Rajesh Khanna--------------Jatin Khanna
11.Manna Dey (Singer)---------Probodh Chandra Dey
12.Sanjay Khan-----------------Abbas Khan
13.Nargis-----------------------Fatima Rashid Sheikh
14.Meena Kumari---------------Mehzabeen
15.Madhubala-------------------Mumtaz Jahan
16.Manoj Kumar-----------------HariKrishna Goswami
17.Anajan (Lyricist)--------------Gopal Pandey
18.Sahir Ludhianvi (Lyricist)------Abdul Hui
19.Jayant (Amjad Khan's father)--Zakaria Khan

And many more to list on........
Now for my visitors here is a small quiz based on Hindi Movies and personalties associated with it,lets see how many of you gets it correct.
1.Identify the person (left) in the image below standing with Sunil Dutt,he was a fast friend of Sunil Dutt and has played a very significant role in a trend setter Hindi movie,a major block buster of 70's which is still one of the most profitable movie....still needs hint!!...Ok one of the image among those posted in this post above is of that particular movie:o)
