Big B finally starts speaking about his heydays. Begins by recalling his fight from the jaws of death at the Breach Candy hospital in 1982. Brings out in the mind very familiar pictures for this author, whose both parents had to be shifted in the ICU at some point of time in the past, [...]

The following is a list of Gujarati movie songs by Mukesh, I have been able to collect recently. Some of these are truly old ones, since Mukesh could be heard imitating KL Sehgal in those few. A few of them are quite familiar and therefore, could be assumed to have been popular since the old [...]

Amitabh Bachchan has promised to speak about his old team mates soon - the stalwarts and colleagues he worked with. Part of his fan following, including this author, kept him reminding about this issue, and he now seems to be about to oblige us.
This made me to recollect all I have wanted to know from [...]

The Return Of Angry Young (Or Not-So-Young These Days Whatever) Man!
Fans could watch Amitabh Bachchan picking up Filmy fights yet again. He could be seen resorting to no bars “Dhishum Dhishum” for yet one more round. The only difference being this time, he was not battling against any Amjad Khans or Danny Denzongpas. Neither were [...]

He denied having been paid by BigAdda, and we should accept his denial.
