Actor Arshad Warsi, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming period film ‘Bandaa Singh Chaudhary’, has said that his character in the film banks on the unwavering human resilience and spirit in dark times.

Lata Mangeshkar: Hindi films' enduring female voice from Madhubala to Madhuri - and more

Lata Mangeshkar: Hindi films' enduring female voice from Madhubala to Madhuri - and more

Entering the sparkling galaxy of Hindi film music with the haunting "Aayega Aanewala" ("Mahal", 1949) for ethereal Madhubala, Lata Mangeshkar became the definitive voice of several generations of legendary Indian film heroines, from Meena Kumari to Madhuri Dixit, Nargis to Neetu Singh, Padmini to Parveen Babi, and Sharmila Tagore to Sridevi.

As the voices of singing superstars such as Noor Jahan and Suraiyya were stilled due to emigration or premature retirement and changing tastes made the likes of Shamshad Begum obsolete, Lata Mangeshkar, who was born on this day (September 28) in what was then the princely state of Indore in 1929 in a family that made its mark in music, ably filled the gap with other superlative talent.

To this end, she gamely surmounted what Dilip Kumar once gently mocked as the "dal-chawal" flavour of her Urdu, to achieve perfect diction in that expressive language to fashion magic in thousands of songs she rendered for a gamut of talented music composers and lyricists.

Let us revisit this superlative voice of Lata Mangeshkar through the immortal songs that she sang for divas of the silver screen down the ages, though this effort can be highly subjective.

Do we choose the pensive "Zindagi Bhar Nahi Bhoolegi Woh Barsaat ki Raat" or the daring "Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya" for Madhubala, the soothing "Ghar Aaya Mera Pardesi", or the carefree "Panchi Banu Mast Phiru Mast Gagan Mein" for Nargis, the effervescent "Mere Naseeb Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi" or "Ae Dil-e-Nadaan' for Hema Malini?

Big B is trying to cope up with this Gen Z struggle

Big B is trying to cope up with this Gen Z struggle

Veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, who hosts the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, has shared his story of struggle with regards to the content on OTT.

The senior actor said that there’s a lot of content on the medium to OTT to keep up with. He also said that films are largely meant to be seen on the big screen considering the hard work of a film's crew.

The upcoming episode of the show features Kishor Aher from Bid, Maharashtra, who is a dedicated librarian preparing for a competitive exam. He shared his dream of establishing an educational institute in his village to honour his grandfather.

In a light-hearted exchange about watching movies on the big screen, Big B said, “It often happens that when I go to watch a film, I read the title beforehand, but if someone asks me a month later which movie I watched, I forget the name. I mention this because nowadays, there is an overwhelming abundance of films. Whether on mobile or in theatres, there are countless options everywhere”.

Kishor shared, "We usually watch movies on our mobile devices”, to which Amitabh Bachchan replied, "I find it difficult to watch on such a small screen; it feels a bit strange. We’ve worked hard to enjoy films on the big screen, Hum bade parde ke liye bane hai, and there’s something truly special about watching a film in the theatres”.
