RIP Pradeep Sarkar. The man behind some of the iconic Indipop music videos from the 90s/early 00s. And then there were of course the songs in the movies he subsequently did, especially Parineeta, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and to an extent, Lafangey Parindey.

This thread from @cinemaandbeyond on Twitter is a beautiful tribute to the man and documentation of his best works.

For five decades, Yash Chopra loomed large over Hindi filmdom and regaled generations of viewers with a pathway to a world where they could live an alternate life for 3 hours and feel fulfilled. While the world celebrated him for his romances I felt his best was in the genre of action and drama like Deewar, Kala Paththar and Trishul which incredibly channeled the angst of the common man of the 70s. It would have been great if the Netflix documentary The Romantics celebrated his work and left it there. But it snatches the achievements of others and hands it on a platter to Yash Raj Films. Arjun Kapoor says the commercial norms of most of today's cinema is cut out from the same cloth of Yash Chopra. It ignores the truth that Chopra was influenced by the style of his elder brother and more importantly, Raj Kapoor. It deserves a post of its own. Poonam Dhillon credits Pam Chopra with introducing Punjabi music to films and stalwarts like Ghulam Haider and OP Nayyar turned several times in their grave. Someone says Kabhi Kabhie introduced the vulnerable gentle hero who needn't be macho all the time to cinema. I wonder of they have seen the heros from the 1940s till the early 70s. Needn't go that far. Just see Rajesh Khanna in Amar Prem or Bachchan himself in Alaap. Talking about the 80s, they all say VCRs led to people deserting cinema halls without even mentioning how TV serials of the 80s with their superior content made people sit back at home. They credit Chandni with bringing romance back to cinema whereas it was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (released a year before) that brought in a whiff of fresh air. A month after Chandni came Main Ne Pyar Kiya that reversed industry trends for good. But this is not about facts but projecting Yash Raj as the be all and end all of Hindi cinema. There is no mention of Yash Chopra directing a giant like Dilip Kumar in Mashaal because who cares about Kumar anyway. The farce is right at the end of the first episode when there is a collective excitement about their own head talking about themselves in a documentary made by them.

A two-time winner and five-times nominee of the Academy Award (Oscar), A. R. Rahman is popularly known as the man who has redefined contemporary Indian music. Rahman, according to a BBC estimate, has sold more than 150 million copies of his work comprising of music from more than 100 film soundtracks and albums across over half a dozen languages, including landmark scores such as 'Roja', 'Bombay', Dil Se', 'Taal', 'Lagaan', 'Vandemataram', 'Jodhaa Akbar', 'Slumdog Millionaire', '127 Hours' and countless more.

Rahman pursued music as a career at a very young age and after assisting leading musicians in India went on to compose jingles and scores for popular Indian television features. He also obtained a degree in western classical music from the Trinity College of Music, London and set up his own in-house studio called Panchathan Record-Inn at Chennai. Rahman remains one of the few mainstream artistes, classical adaptations of whose works have been performed live by the likes of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Babelsberg Film Orchestra and the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

Rahman has expanded his focus to newer horizons like setting up the A R Rahman Foundation to help poor and underprivileged children. We wish this lovely human being a very happy birthday! Here's to many more years to your life ❤🙏🏻🎸🎼🎧

100 years is a long time and to leave a worthwhile mark in these years with the love for their art. Here are 5 centurions who we have loved and grown up watching or listening to...
1. Asit Sen - He was an Indian film director, cinematographer and screenwriter, who worked in both Bengali and Hindi cinema. He directed 17 feature films in Hindi and Bengali, and was most known for the films Deep Jweley Jai (1959) and Uttar Falguni (1963) in Bengali, Mamta (1966), Khamoshi (1969), Anokhi Raat (1968) and Safar (1970) in Hindi.
2. Dina Pathak - She was an Indian actress and director of Gujarati theatre and also a film actor. She was an activist and President of the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW). She is best known for her memorable roles in the Hindi films Gol Maal and Khubsoorat. She was a favourite of the Art Cinema in India where she played powerful roles in films like Koshish, Umrao Jaan, Mirch Masala and Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!
3. Hrishikesh Mukherjee - He is regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of Indian cinema. Popularly known as Hrishi-da, he directed 42 films like Anari, Musafir, Golmaal, etc., during his career spanning over four decades, and is named the pioneer of the 'middle cinema' of India. Renowned for his social films that reflected the changing middle-class ethos, Mukherjee "carved a middle path between the extravagance of mainstream cinema and the stark realism of art cinema".
4. Shankar Singh Raghuvanshi - He along with another renowned film score composer, Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal, became the most commercially successful Hindi film music director duo during the 1950s and 1960s. Shankar and Jaikishan were an unlikely pair that were brought together by circumstances. Reports suggest that it was actor Raj Kapoor who first spotted their talent.
5. Dilip Kumar - Credited with pioneering method acting in cinema, he dominated the Indian movie scene from the late 1940s throughout the 1960s, being referred to as "Abhinay Samrat". He holds the record for most wins for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor and was also the inaugural recipient of the award. He's the only Indian recipient of Pakistan's highest civilian award.

Amol Kamlakar Palekar is an Indian actor, director and producer of Hindi and Marathi cinema. He studied fine arts at the Sir JJ School of Arts, Mumbai, and commenced his artistic career as a painter. As a painter, he had seven one-man exhibitions and participated in many group shows.

However, Palekar is better known as a stage and film actor. He has been active in the avant garde theatre in India in Marathi and Hindi theatre as an actor, director and producer since 1967. His contribution to the modern Indian theatre is often overshadowed by his popularity as a lead actor in Hindi films.

As a film actor, he was most prominent in the 1970s. His image as a "boy next door" contrasted with the larger-than-life heroes prevalent at that time in Indian cinema. He received one Filmfare award and six State awards as Best Actor. His performances in regional language films in Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam and Kannada fetched him critical acclaim as well.

As a director, he is known for the sensitive portrayal of women, selection of classic stories from Indian literature, and perceptive handling of progressive issues. He has directed several television serials on the national network such as Kachchi Dhoop, Mrignayani, Naquab, Paool Khuna and Krishna Kali.
