Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
We at Dark Horse Media (Mumbai) are a digital marketing agency and primarily work on Bollywood related projects. I came across your blog, which we found very well-thought written and interesting.
We are currently working with Mr Ajay Devgn and managing his social properties, It would be great if you could blog about Mr Ajay Devgn depending on the areas of interest of-course.
Do let me know how we could take this forward.
Thanks,
Cherry Khemka

Hi, thanks for commenting, but I’m afraid that’s not possible. If you look more closely at my blog, I write exclusively about pre-70s cinema. Mr Devgn doesn’t fit anywhere there.

========================================
May be you can watch following fims and post your valued comments
MASHAL (1950) – Ashok Kumar, Sumitra Devi and Ruma Devi
Direction: Nitin Bose, Music: S D Burman
Producers: Ashok Kumar + Savak Vacha
Good story (though dated), acting and one song: Hanste Huye Chal, Mere
Man / Lata
DIL HI TO HAI (1963) – Raj Kapoor, Nutan and Pran (ofcourse)
Direction: P L Santoshi + C L Rawal, Music Roshan
Fairly enjoyable film. 1 Great song – Laga Chunri Mein Daag (very
nice performance) + few other good songs – Tum Agar Mujh Ko Na
Chaho To …
DO USTAD (1959) – Madhubala, Raj Kapoor + Sheikh Mukhtar
Direction: Tara Harish Music: O P Nayyar
Producer: Qaidi Number 911
Marginal film, songs with lyrics targeted to very low IQ ‘insaans’ and
even tunes are run-of-the mill. But 2 – 3 songs are very nice to watch,
primarily because of that angel-face

Ms Liddle could you kindly consider reviewing Madhubala movie Saiyan (1951).
LikeLike
I watched Saiyyaan a couple of years back, but now I don’t remember why I never got around to reviewing it. An unusual film, I thought: the somewhat tense relationship between the characters of Madhubala and Sajjan was unlike what one usually sees in Hindi cinema. Anupji (at the Mehfil Mein Meri blog) reviewed it some months back, though.

Is there any blog where the movies of the seventies are reviewed?

I suppose so. Try searching for ‘film reviews’ + some names of famous 70s films – you should be able to find blogs that do those. Most Hindi film bloggers who blog about old cinema don’t restrict themselves as I do.
LikeLike
But I think 70’s was the best decade for Hindi Cinema, where it was discovering its new facets, If you could be kind enough to include movies from the 70s as well on this blog
LikeLike
There are several reasons for me not including the 70s in my blog. For me, the 70s marks a watershed in Hindi cinema. There’s a marked difference in film-making styles, in tropes, even in fashions, that separate the 70s from the decades before. And for me, the decades before the 70s are far more interesting (I disagree with you on the 70s being the best decade for Hindi cinema – I’d say the 50s were). I get a lot of satisfaction out of exploring the decades from the 30s through the 60s, so I personally don’t want to venture further as of now.

That wouldn’t happen, Harish, because my blog only focusses on cinema from before the 1970s. :-) There are a couple of films here from 1971 or 72, but that’s only because either the film was made before but released later (Pakeezah, Love in Bombay) or because it has a strong 60s vibe to it (Sharmilee).
