Hrishikesh Mukherjee Zindabad
W/W brought to my attention that Hrishikesh Mukherjee has passed away. He was one of the handful of directors who have been the saving graces of Bollywood, and who made wonderful movies ("Golmaal" being my personal fav); these I know even my grand kids (if gene propogation ever gets that far) will enjoy as much as I have enjoyed them. Further, another reason I heart Hrishikesh's movies is that Gulzar wrote many of his best songs for them; "Aane waala pal, jaane waala hain" comes readily to mind. So here is Hrishikesh's "Golmaal", in full at YouTube, to (re)watch*; yes, you will have to be patient and watch this movie in 7-8 min segments**.
Hrishikesh Mukherjee Zindabad!
*To my non-desi readers, sorry, this version doesn't have English subtitles.
**Viewing suggestion: As you are watching a clip, open the next clip in the seqeunce in another browser window, so that it is buffered and ready to watch without any delay.
