Hi,
Recently we lost two icons of entertainment world. Yash Chopra and Jaspal Bhatti. Tragic.
Yash Chopra will be remembered for making big movies. Big not only on scale of budget but also on scale of story, star cast and drama. Who can forget Waqt? Who can forget Chandni? Not many directors have been able to achieve adulation and admiration of masses and classes alike. Yash Chopra managed that. It was not that he made only blockbusters. But whatever he made had substance. Remember Lamhe?
Today, TV channels are overflowing with comedy shows. In 90s, Jaspal Bhatti was the man. Satire, in true sense, was his forte. He never felt the need the adding masala to his jokes. He kept them simple and sensible. Though in Hindi films, he was not able to replicate his success in TV Show Flop Show, he remained an icon of Punjabi cinema. His ability to depict common man’s tragedy has inspired many and will continue to do so.
Indian cinema will miss them. The Show will go on but will the new Showmen scale the benchmarks?
Love,
Sujoy
