Bol Bachchan (2012) Was A Remake Of 1979 Film Gol Maal ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
It has been 45 years since Hrishikesh Mukerjee’s classic film Gol Maal was released in the theaters. The film received a cult status the moment people walked out of the theaters smiling. And it still leaves you with a smile whenever you watch the classic.
The film starred Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt in the lead role, with Bindiya Goswami, Shubha Khote, and Dina Pathak in the supporting lead. It earned a blockbuster status at the box office.
Years later, Rohit Shetty was so inspired by the film that he took inspiration twice. Once for Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, which borrowed only the name of the Og classic, and for the second time, he attempted a remake that was titled Bol Bachchan!

While we get to watch new films all the time, the lockdown could be a golden chance to catch up with a few classics across genres. Digital platforms are overflowing with them, and you would literally be spoilt for choice selecting some really enjoyable stuff that has come out of Bollywood over the decades. Twenty-one days, it would seem, is too short a time to catch up with what really defines vintage Bollywood and is available in the Ott libraries.
Ians picks a few old films that you might want to revisit, that will let you relax and bust the stress of lockdown. Of course, this is not a definitive list.
* Chupke Chupke (1975)
Directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, the comedy film is about a man pretending to be a driver and fooling his wife's brother-in-law as an attempt to prove that the brother-in-law is not as smart as he claims to be.

The incredible Rajinikanth - the living legend on his own, known for his phenomenal star power and action once followed the subtle, controlled and noted nuance of Amol Palekar - the actor/filmmaker known for his award winning performance in evergreen gems like Golmaal and other memorable movies like Rajnigandha, Chhoti Si Baat, Chitchor etc.
It may sound strange, weird but it?s true, the crowd pleasing massy flashy image of Thalaivar who can do anything onscreen followed the simplicity of Amol Palekar.
It was the year 1981; The Rajini mania was on the rise thanks to the remakes of his idol Amitabh Bachchan?s Don - Billa (1980), Amar Akbar Anthony - Ram Robert Rahim (May 1980), Deewar - Thee (1981) etc.

Ganesh Chaturthi in Bollywood is big. Like every year this year too the event was most prominently celebrated in the homes of the Nightingale Lata Mangeshkar and Salman Khan's place. Interestingly the two super-celebrities share one thing in common. A small cozy home from which they have refused to move out over the years in spite of their growing families and enhanced affluence. Lataji's 3-bedroom home in a high-rise building on Peddar Road becomes uncontrollably crowded during Ganesh Chaturvedi. "Every year it's an open house at Lata Didi's place in Prabhu Kunj. Guests just stream in for a darshan. Everyone also wants a glimpse of Lata didi. It becomes difficult for her to attend to every guest. But this year Didi is in her element. She is bustling all over the house, in her beautiful hand-made sarees, enjoying the company of guests and of course the sweets. Who would...

Nidhi Dutta took her father, Jp Dutta, by surprise when she informed him about her aspirations to act. It was while she was still serving as the seventh assistant during the making of Umrao Jaan, that she finally told her father that she has been dreaming of facing the camera for many long years, just like her mother Bindiya Goswami Dutta.
“At the age of two I was dancing to ‘Chaiya Chaiya’ in a diaper,” she says, “I’ve been a drama queen all my life, the lakta-jhatkas come easy,” Nidhi says with pride.
Nidhi’s debut film Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le, which is being produced by her father under a new youth-centric banner, Jp Gene, is directed by Binoy Gandhi. “Papa took the muhurat shot which had me speaking a line from his film Refugee. And he was on the sets everyday. Once, during an awkward romantic moment in front of the camera,...
