Review of Anubhuti: An Entertaining, Though Occasionally Difficult, Oddity

Published

anunhuti

On Tuesday, Anubhuti had its debut at the Rotterdam 2024 International Film Festival

Several Indian filmmakers have adapted the life of the mystic-poet Meerabai from Rajasthan to the big screen since the silent era, including Debaki Bose (1933), Ellis R. Dungan (1947), and Gulzar (1979). They portrayed Durga Khote, M.S. Subbulakshmi, and Hema Malini, respectively, as historical or literary figures whose writings and folklore had endured for over four centuries in India.

Anubhuti, the second feature-length film by Kolkata-based director Anirban Dutta, debuted on Tuesday at the 2024 International Film Festival Rotterdam. It places Meerabai in a romantic triangle with the revered Lord Krishna and his legendary cowherdess-lover Radha. A unique method is used in the movie to map a poet’s soul in an unearthly realm.

The Hindi-language movie differs greatly from all the earlier dramatic renditions of the Meerabai tale. It sees her only through the lens of her devotion-drenched poetry, works that are still sung and repeated today and are an essential component of the literature of the Bhakti movement in medieval Hinduism.

The film captures Meera’s expressions of her sublime love for Lord Krishna through visual means. Anubhuti is a captivating, if occasionally difficult, anomaly distinguished by melodic variety and graceful performance.

It is an extremely stylized, abstract performance piece that may be confusing to viewers of traditional movies. Rather than weakening the movie’s capacity to convey its meaning to an astute and patient audience, the deliberate non-linear opacity strengthens the concept.

Many of Meera’s most well-known bhajans are collected by Anubhuti, who then interprets them in a variety of Hindustani classical ragas that capture the varied moods of the Mewar princess-turned-saint. The poems and songs convey a wide range of emotions and moods, including desire and anticipation, hope and disappointment, pleasure and envy, faith and despair.

The video employs several artistic mediums such as music, dance, song, and a repertoire of mudras and controlled acting to arouse the attentive viewers into a state of consciousness that gradually becomes more responsive as the exercise progresses at a slow and gentle pace.

Anubhuti is a collection of theatrical vignettes that provide a window into Meera’s unfathomable devotion to Lord Krishna and her conviction that she is Radha personified in both a parallel universe and an earlier time period. In a dreamscape full of colors symbolic of longing, Radha and Meera become friends, uniting earthly passion and ethereal affection.

A range of emotions, both permeable and impermeable, are articulated by bodies, hands, fingers, and delicately dancing feet as the legendary and the historical blend together. Radha is a mythological figure who is exalted yet grounded, while Meerabai is a historical mortal lady who left up her royal luxuries and familial bonds to pursue her dream of divinity.

The two women from different time zones and states of consciousness are connected by what they both adore and long for: an unprompted response from Krishna. Krishna, for his part, quietly exits the sphere of holiness and expresses feelings that seem entirely human.

Meera searches Radha for her reflection. Envy and sometimes irritation over Lord Krishna’s erratic attention upset Radha. Sensual and material elements often blend in ways that are difficult to fully understand. They are independent of spoken articulation. The picture offers a wider variety of cinematic experiences because of its persistent unfathomability.

Drawing inspiration from Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda, which portrays Krishna and Radha’s love, Anubhuti occasionally refers to Kangra and Pahadi miniatures to shed light on the relationship between Radha and Meera in regard to their intense devotion. Seen in the context of how unwavering devotion unfolds and unites with the kind of indescribable and elevating emotion that frequently stays unfulfilled because the heavenly ways do not yield to the demands of the temporal, it is understood.

Love and ardor are clearly defined by Dutta’s dialogue-free tale, which cuts beyond time, haptic dimensions, and the line separating humans and divinities. He treats his actors, Shamila Bhattacharya (Radha), Rittick Bhattacharya (Krishna), and Aritraa Sengupta (Meera), like putty. They completely yield to the director’s direction as both emotional cue-givers and containers of difficult ideas.

In his debut feature Jahnabi (2018), Dutta demonstrated his unwavering filmmaking approach in a comprehensive manner. The most of the communication in the movie, which is about a lady who longs to talk to her lover, was nonverbal. It made a comparison between women and rivers, pointing out how both are essential to human civilization and are subjected to deprivation, exploitation, and love.

Like Jahnabi, Anubhuti is based on techniques that originate from the palette of a visual artist who seeks the sublime by looking past the ordinary. The movie also has the essence of a photographer who thoughtfully considers the significance of each frame.

The costumes and visual direction for this ultra-independent film were created by Dutta, who also produced it on her own. He fills the frames with physical movement, hand and eye expressions, carefully chosen backdrops, voices that recite (Srijan Chatterjee) and sing (Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty and Vaishali Sinha, the film’s music composer), and instrumental pieces that heighten the enigmatic quality of passion rooted in spirituality. He uses the movie camera (managed by Soham Dey) and audio recording devices.

A few words are not pronounced exactly among the wide variety of sounds in the movie. The unusual gaps stand out because they break the overall sound balance that the picture maintains for the better part of its ninety minutes. However, they are not so numerous or obvious as to permanently damage the movie.

Anubhuti is a labor of love that deserves praise for her unwavering dedication to an unadulterated approach to image-making. It’s the kind of film that can only be made when a director can free himself from the allure of widespread acclaim.

Kishore Kumar’s legendary life journey – from his childhood to Bollywood’s golden-

Published

on

Kishore Kumar 1

Mumbai, Sep.12,2025:Kishore Kumar, born Abhas Kumar Ganguly on August 4, 1929, in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, belonged to a family where art and intellect thrived. His father, Kunjalal Ganguly, was a lawyer, and his mother, Gouri Devi, a homemaker.

He was the youngest among four siblings Ashok Kumar (the great Hindi film actor), Anoop Kumar, and sister Sati Devi. From childhood, Kishore admired K.L. Sahgal, often imitating his singing style. This passion eventually transformed into a destiny that would change Indian music forever.

Advertisement

The Beginning of a Career in Films (1948–1954)

While Kishore dreamed of becoming a singer, destiny first pushed him into acting. His elder brother Ashok Kumar, already a superstar, opened doors for him in films. In 1948, Kishore Kumar lent his voice as a playback singer for the film Ziddi.

Though music was his true calling, he stepped into acting with supporting roles in films during the early 1950s. His comic timing, unconventional style, and natural charm began to draw attention, setting him apart from his contemporaries.

Rise as an Actor and Singer (1954–1965)

The turning point came with Naukri (1954), where he was recognized as a serious actor. Soon, films like New Delhi (1956), Musafir (1957), and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) established him as a beloved comedian-actor.

Advertisement

In 1961, Kishore Kumar created history by producing, directing, acting, composing, and singing for Jhumroo. His 1964 film Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein showcased his sensitive side as a filmmaker.

By the mid-1960s, his dual identity as a singer-actor flourished. He was no longer just Ashok Kumar’s younger brother—he had become Kishore Kumar, the legendary singer in his own right.

The Golden Era of Kishore Kumar’s Music (1965–1980)

The golden phase of Kishore Kumar’s career began with the 1969 film Aradhana. The film’s music, composed by S.D. Burman, featured Kishore’s unforgettable tracks like Roop Tera Mastana and Mere Sapno Ki Rani.

Advertisement

His association with superstar Rajesh Khanna became iconic—Kishore lent his voice to 91 films for him, creating an immortal duo. Songs such as Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Chingari Koi Bhadke, and Pyaar Deewana Hota Hai remain evergreen classics.

During the 1970s, Kishore was the voice of Bollywood’s leading men, from Rajesh Khanna to Amitabh Bachchan. His duets with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle added sparkle to Hindi cinema’s golden era.

Direction and Creative Experiments (1970–1985)

Jagjit Singh legacy — how the ghazal king from Rajasthan transformed music, inspired millions, and continues to influence culture decades after his passing-

Published

on

Jagjit Singh legacy

Mumbai, Sep.11,2025: An important element of the Jagjit Singh legacy is how he experimented, collaborated, and expanded the boundaries of what a ghazal singer could do-

Jagjit Singh legacy- Early life and roots

Jagjit Singh legacy begins in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, where he was born on 8 February 1941 to Amar Singh Dhiman and Bachan Kaur. His birth name was Jagmohan; his father renamed him Jagjit on advice of a spiritual guru. He was educated in Sri Ganganagar and Jalandhar, and later obtained a Post-Graduate degree in History from Kurukshetra University.

  • While his father wanted him to pursue engineering or a stable administrative job, Jagjit Singh’s own passion was for music.

These early foundations shaped the Jagjit Singh legacy- rooted in classical tradition, yet driven by his own artistic calling.

Musical training and artistic growth

To fully appreciate the Jagjit Singh legacy, one must look at the rigorous training he underwent and the artistry he developed over years.

  • He first learned under Pandit Chaganlal Sharma, a blind classical teacher in his hometown; this provided grounding in classical vocal styles.
  • Later, he trained with Ustad Jamal Khan of the Sainia (or Maihar) gharana, which deepened his knowledge of khayal, thumri, dhrupad and other Hindustani classical forms.
  • As a young man, he performed at All India Radio in Jalandhar, and participated in inter-college and youth music festivals with classical, folk and sugam sangeet elements.

Through this, Jagjit Singh honed his voice, musical sense, and the ability to connect emotion with melody. This combination is central to the Jagjit Singh legacy of making ghazal song accessible, soulful, and deeply human.

Breakthrough albums and popular acclaim

One of the critical phases in the Jagjit Singh legacy is the point when his talent reached broad public attention.

  • In 1976, with his wife Chitra Singh, he released The Unforgettables — an album that became a commercial breakthrough in ghazal music.
  • Over his career, he released around 80 albums, including ghazals, devotional songs (bhajans, shabads), and compositions for films.
  • Some of his memorable ghazals: Meri Zindagi Kisi Aur Ki, Patta-Patta Boota-Boota, Hontho Se Chhoo Lo Tum, Tum Ko Dekha, Wo Jo Hum Mein Tum. These songs bridged traditional poetry and the emotional expression of common people. This part of his journey underscores the Jagjit Singh legacy of artistic perseverance and connection with audiences—how classical roots combined with lyricism and melody can make a deep impact.

Collaborations, experimentation, and innovation

An important element of the Jagjit Singh legacy is how he experimented, collaborated, and expanded the boundaries of what a ghazal singer could do.

  • He was among the pioneers who used Western instruments (guitar, saxophone etc.) alongside Indian classical instruments in ghazals, bringing new textures without losing the core gut-feel.
  • He composed for Bollywood films and television serials, for instance Prem Geet (1981), Arth (1982), Saath Saath (1982), Mirza Ghalib, Kahkashan, etc.
  • He also recorded songs written by poets including former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in albums like Nayi Disha and Samvedna, showcasing his willingness to merge poetry and politics sensitively.
  • Notably, his album Beyond Time (1987) was among the earliest digitally multi-tracked or digitally recorded ghazal or non-film albums, marking a technical and artistic evolution.

Through these experiments, the Jagjit Singh legacy becomes one of pushing traditions forward, not just preserving them.

Personal tragedies and human courage

No legacy is untouched by human trials; Jagjit Singh’s life also had its share of sorrow, and yet from it came strength that resonated with fans.

  • His only son Vivek died in a road accident in 1990. This loss deeply affected Jagjit and Chitra Singh, and music became one way of processing that grief.
  • In his later years, though his health had ups and downs, he continued to perform, record, and work—reflecting dedication and courage. These moments contributed to the Jagjit Singh legacy of authenticity: his music didn’t ignore pain—rather, it gave voice to it, making him beloved not just for beauty, but for honesty.

Awards, honors, and lasting impact

Jagjit Singh’s recognitions reflect how his contributions have been officially and culturally appreciated.

  • In 2003, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Bhushan, recognizing his influence in Indian music.
  • He has often been called the “Ghazal King”—a title drawn from both admiration and the unique role he played in reviving and popularizing the genre.
  • On his birth anniversaries and long after his death (10 October 2011), media, music communities, and public celebrations continue to remember and honour his contribution.

The Jagjit Singh legacy thus is not only in the songs themselves, but in how music culture in India and abroad has been shaped by his approach: lyrical, emotive, accessible, and respectful of tradition.

What future generations learn from him

What lessons does the Jagjit Singh legacy hold—especially for young artists, listeners, and culture-makers?

  1. Blend respect for tradition with bold innovation
    Jagjit Singh didn’t abandon classical training; he built upon it, then introduced innovation (instrumentation, recording techniques) to make ghazals more widely loved.
  2. Express emotion genuinely
    Listeners connect when voice, melody, and words align in sincerity—Jagjit made heartbreak, longing, and hope intelligible in songs.
  3. Persevere through hardship
    From early struggles in Bombay (moving without much support), performing jingles, facing loss in his personal life—he kept creating. That perseverance is central to his legacy.
  4. Elevate poetry and words
    He emphasized “bol-pradhan” style—where lyrics (shayari) are not masked by music but enhanced by it. Future musicians can learn that choosing meaningful words matters.
  5. Connect with audiences across barriers
    He sang in multiple languages (Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, etc.), and composed for film, TV, devotional music—reaching diverse people. Legacy is not staying in one box.
  6. Leave behind sustainable cultural value
    The Jagjit Singh legacy shows that success isn’t just fame—it’s the music that outlives the artist, the emotions that each generation rediscovers.

The Jagjit Singh legacy is more than the sum of albums, concerts, and awards. It’s a blueprint for artists who aim to be timeless: stay rooted in art, embrace innovation, be truthful in emotion, and keep the audience’s heart in focus.

He passed away on 10 October 2011 due to a cerebral haemorrhage in Mumbai, but his voice continues to echo in hearts, his ghazals still played, and his lessons still lived.

Rekha The Untold Story”—Seven gripping revelations about Bollywood’s mysterious diva Rekha, from scandal to redemption and timeless elegance-

The_Untold_Story

Mumbai, Sep.09,2025:Rekha was born out of wedlock and rejected by her father, the legendary Gemini Ganesan, leading to taunts like “ugly, fat and illegitimate” during her childhood. Arriving in Bombay as a vulnerable teenager, she faced exploitation—

Rekha The Untold Story- A Deeper Dive

Rekha The Untold Story begins by drawing readers into the life of Rekha—the enigma of Indian cinema. This biography, penned by Yasser Usman, peels back layers of myth to reveal a journey riddled with hardship, heartbreak, immense resilience, and reinvention.

Rekha The Untold Story – Seven Gripping Revelations

Early Trauma and Exploitation

Rekha was born out of wedlock and rejected by her father, the legendary Gemini Ganesan, leading to taunts like “ugly, fat and illegitimate” during her childhood. Arriving in Bombay as a vulnerable teenager, she faced exploitation—one disturbing incident even saw a co-star forcibly kiss her on set without consent, rationalizing it as “necessary for the film”.

The Witch Hunt After a Tragedy

Advertisement

In 1990, Rekha’s husband Mukesh Aggarwal committed suicide. Traversing grief, she was publicly branded a “Black Widow”—the media, in-laws, and even some filmmakers vilified her. A film magazine called her a “national vamp,” and industry voices like Subhash Ghai branded her a “blot” on cinema. Her biography details both the cruelty of that media trial and the harsh isolation she endured.

Harassment Behind the Scenes

Usman doesn’t shy away from highlighting the misogynistic underbelly of the film industry. Rekha’s early days were steeped in powerlessness and disrespect, marked by instances of on-camera harassment and utter disregard for her autonomy.

Reinvention and Cinematic Triumph

Despite tragedy and discrimination, Rekha transformed herself into a cinematic legend. From thick-skirted roles and a non-Hindi accent, she redefined her image through weight loss, language mastery, and embracing elegance. Her performances in Khoobsurat (1980) and Umrao Jaan (1981) cemented her brilliance, the latter bringing her a National Award. The restoration and 4K re-release of Umrao Jaan now revive that timeless artistry for modern audiences.

Silent Strength in Relationships

Rekha’s relationships remained deeply private. Despite being willing to devote herself, she never remarried. In a rare interview she expressed, “I am someone who would prepare his bed, dabba,” explaining both her readiness for commitment and her preference for solitude over scrutiny.

Timeless Elegance and Influence

Rekha’s sartorial grace continues to inspire. Designer Manish Malhotra recently recreated her Umrao Jaan saree look, celebrating her “Original Saree Queen” status. At an event marking 20 years of Parineeta, Rekha dazzled in a Banarasi saree—her regal presence so profound that Vidya Balan was moved to touch her feet in admiration. Even newer generations pay homage—at Cannes 2025, 17-year-old Nitanshi Goel styled her hair with portraits of Rekha and other icons.

Author’s Defense Against Clickbait Claims

Rekha The Untold Story” has also been at the center of unwarranted rumors—most notably about a rumored “live-in relationship” with her manager Farzana. Yasser Usman publicly denounced these claims as fabricated, stating that such quotes are absent from the book and promising legal action against misrepresentations.

Why “Rekha The Untold Story” Matters Today

“Rekha The Untold Story” isn’t just a biography—it’s a reclamation of voice. Usman’s empathetic narrative dispels myth and gossip, illuminating Rekha’s strength. In today’s world, where women’s authenticity is often questioned, her journey speaks to resilience, privacy, and true artistry. Her unfolding legacy continues to inspire actors, designers, and fans alike, reaffirming that elegance and depth cannot be diminished by time or turmoil.

Rekha The Untold Story transcends rumors to offer a portrait of a woman forged in adversity, refined by grace, and immortalized by talent. From surviving heartbreak and harassment to emerging as a symbol of enduring poise, Rekha remains Bollywood’s most enigmatic and powerful diva. Usman’s biography is a tribute not only to her cinematic career, but also to her indomitable spirit.

Why the Nana Patekar Struggle Journey Inspires Millions

The Nana Patekar struggle journey is not just the tale of an actor. It is the story of a boy who grew up in poverty, battled humiliation, and rose to become one of the most respected names in Indian cinema. Known for his fierce performances and razor-sharp dialogue delivery, Nana Patekar also carved a place in the hearts of millions as a humanitarian and soldier.

His journey from painting cinema posters to receiving a Padma Shri, National Awards, and the love of the masses is filled with lessons of resilience, courage, and humility.

Hunger and Humiliation as the First Teacher

Born as Vishwanath Patekar on January 1, 1951, in Murud-Janjira, Maharashtra, Nana grew up in a modest Marathi family. His father was a small textile trader, and his mother a homemaker.

But tragedy struck when his father’s business collapsed, plunging the family into poverty. At just 13 years old, young Nana began working by painting cinema posters, earning a mere ₹35 a month. He recalls:

“For us, hunger was such a big issue that we never could see the flowers.”

This hunger and humiliation shaped him, becoming the emotional foundation of the Nana Patekar struggle journey.

While completing his education at JJ School of Arts, Nana discovered his love for theatre. His expressive face and natural intensity soon caught attention.

This experience left such a mark that he later joined the Territorial Army as a Lieutenant Colonel.

The Kargil Chapter-When Reel Hero Turned Real Hero

During the Kargil War of 1999, Nana Patekar sought special permission from Defence Minister George Fernandes to serve on the frontlines.

And he did. Not as a celebrity, but as a soldier of the nation. This act of patriotism makes the Nana Patekar struggle journey unlike any other Bollywood tale.

Personal Life and Untold Struggles

Nana’s life off-screen was equally turbulent. He suffered severe burns during the shooting of Parinda, requiring months of treatment.

  • “Ji mat lagaiye… bas Ghungroo kahiye.” (Welcome)
  • “Aa gaye meri maut ka tamasha dekhne?” (Prahaar)
  • “Kyun hota hai insaan ke andar itna gussa?” (Krantiveer)

Why His Story Will Never Fade

Lessons from the Nana Patekar Struggle Journey

The Nana Patekar struggle journey is not just about cinema—it’s about life itself.
