Watch this, and tell me if we still have such finesse, such grace, such ease and natural charm as this greatest of them all carried around him like a fragrance. I recall a conversation with him about Punjabi culture and Urdu literature. Even then he had said that every society , every nation - especially those who have been left behind in material advancement - are in an inevitable evolutionary process towards betterment - a view which I also hold firmly. In fact, for holding the same conviction about India, I have often gotten into trouble with some of friends who are critical about everything in this country. Paradoxically though, I do not share Dilip Sahibs views when it comes to Indian cinema. It has progressed tremendously in terms of professional skills and in the application of technology in mounting visual splendour. But where thematic substance and aesthetic finesse and sobriety is concerned, we seemed to come down by quite a mile. Nevertheless, experience the charm of Dilip Kumar here in an informal chat. (Never mind that the camera angle even here seems to be have decided personally by the maestro. Trust Dilip Sahib to always put only his best foot forward, whatever the occasion. https://youtube/watch?v=wsei6KKv2Gc
