Last month was a major loss to Bollywood with the demise of two great actors Comedian Laxmikant Berde and Villian / character artist our favorite Amrish Puri aka Mogambo. Am sure all kids (including me)think of Lakshya as a joker and scared of Mr. Amrish Puri ..not be around with. They were the best at what they did and so much involved in their roles that it was easy for one to think that their reel life is their real life. Laxmikant Berde fondly called Lakshya was a super star in Marathi films, he was a great comdeian and his films were wonderful to watch. Ashihi banvabanvi, zapatlela, Thar Tharat to name a few. The movies would be filled with gigs and we would get tired guffawing and cheeks would start paining. He was so funny on screen, being a comedian came so naturally to him. He was a hero in marathi films and a comedian in hindi films. I was shocked when i heard the news on radio, it was sad to know of his demise..he was just 50. Mr Amrish Puri, Wow, he was such a versatile actor , who can forget his role in Mr India as Mogambo and the famous dialogue 'Mogambo khush hua' and that roaring laughter. I remember i was in my 6th grade when this movie released and his eyes and appearance scared me big time. His voice added to his personality and the way he delivered the dialogs, his urdu pronounciation was awesome. His character in DDLJ proved his talent in being a versaltile actor and not just a villian. He even enacted in Indiana jones as Mola Ram.Its only after his demise that i learnt he started his career at 40. I admire his spirits, many people start thinking of settling at that age and he was plunging into something new. Hats off to them!!!. |
