Amol Palekar - the birthday boy today - with a Fine Arts - TopicsExpress



          

Amol Palekar - the birthday boy today - with a Fine Arts background, started as a painter, became an active Marathi and Hindi theatre personality and then gave a memorable debute performance in a path breaking Marathi movie Shantata! Court Chaalu Aahe!. With Rajanigndha, he stepped into Hindi films and became a darling of the middle class in particular as the boy next door - an image he could hardly shake off save for a few remarkable exceptions like Bhumika. But his significant contributions, in my view, came as Dirctor with movies such as Thodasa Rooma Ho Jayen (an adaptation of The Rainmaker) or Paheli which are not only artistic but have nuanced social / philosophical content as well. An introduction to Thodasa Roomani in the style of the boy next door is followed by the title song which reveals the essence of the film in a nutshell viz a message of hope and inspirattion : Mushkil hai jeena umeed ke bina Thode se sapna sajayae Thodasa roomani ho jaye Thodasa roomani ho jaye
