Hey guys ..I had a quick request for a list of Hrishikesh Mukherjee films
that people have seen. I know a few such as Anand, Gol Maal etc. etc.
I would very much appreciate a chronological filmography if anyone can
recall some of his movies.

Thanks

Here it is. It was once posted on rmim/ramli by Amin Meghani.
It has a list of many great directors' films.

Subject: Master Directors : List of Best of Indian cinema

Hello RAMLI'ers,


This compilation of movies by some of the very best in
Indian cinema was originally posted on RMIM (rec.music.indian.misc)
(by Piyush Bhagat and Amin).

I made further additions to the list of films by the directors,
and also added some more directors who were left out.

The directors whose films are included in the list are :
(in no particular order)

Basu Chatterjee, Hrishikesh Mukherjee,
Gulzar, Bapu (?)
Yash Chopra, Vidhu Vinod Chopra,
Sai Paranjape, Ramesh Sippy,
Vijay (Goldie) Anand, Bimal Roy,
Guru Dutt, Gautum Ghosh,
Shyam Benegal, Ketan Mehta,
Mrinal Sen, Raj Kapoor and
Govind Nihalani

Surely, at least for some of the above directors, the list of their films
is not complete.

Additions, updates, corrections and comments are welcome.

I dont know about chronology, but here is a quick list of his films
in no particular order. You are on your own sorting them out.

Rang Birangi
Naram Garam
Arjun Pandit ( * Sanjeev Kumar )
Jurmana (* Amitabh)
Manzil (* Amitabh)
Abhimaan (* Amitabh)
Baawarchi (* Rajesh Khanna)
Namak Haram ( * Amitabh, Rajesh Khanna )
Anupama ( * Dharmendra )
Khubsoorat ( * Rekha )
Majli Didi ( * Meena Kumari, I think..I never seen it )
Pasand Apni Apni ( * Mithun )
Buddha Mil Gaya ( * Navin Nischol )
Asli Naqli ( * Dev Anand, Sadahna (vow...not again) )
Mili ( * Amitabh )
Aalaap ( * Amitabh )
Chupke Chupke ( * Amitabh )
Bemisaal ( * Amitabh )
Satyakam ( * Dharmendra )
Anand ( * Amitabh, Rajesh Khanna )
Saanjh aur Savera ( * Meena Kuamri )

That's it as far as I can remember. Come to think of it, he
directed Amitabh in more films than any other..what are the
odds of that? If my calculations are right Prakash Mehra
and Manmohan Desai are not even close.

Netters please add more....

Hi Paindu,
You are right about Amitabh and Hrishi da. In a recorded interview
given to DD which i have when Amitabh is accussed of confining himself to
MKD and PM camps he retorts that the director with whom he has worked
in the maximum number of films is Hrishi da. In an interview given to FF Hrishi
da
recounts the days when Amitabh whom he playfully called Pintu was climbing
]the ladder of success. Amitabh, Jaya and Dharmendra have time and again
demonstrated in public the respect and admiration they have for Hrishi da.
Perhaps i shall include some anecdotes in one of the "Chhoti Chhoti Baatein"
posts. Glad to see Hrishi da being discussed on RAMLI (at the time
when "Yes Boss" has been released)

regards
Anand

Hi Ikram,

Khandhar was directed by Mrinal Sen. It featured Shabana and Naseer. I
recollect Geeta Sen too acted in the film as Shabana's mother.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Wow .... the officiandos just came out
of the woodwork on that request :-) All of Hrishikesh M's movies I have
seen have been memorable and throughly enjoyable. Any news on future
projects of his ?

His new film "JhooT Bole Kauva KaaTe" should be released sometime this
year. An excerpt from an old news item:


Veteran filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee, after a voluntary
exile of more than a decade, will be returning to films
soon. Hrishida fans can look forward to Polygram's, "Jhoot
Bole Kavva Kaate" starring Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla.


Earlier, this movie was rumoured to have Aamir Khan in it.


I think some years back, being very disturbed by the events in Bombay
he wanted to make a movie on the riots. Instead, gladly gave the
Nargis Dutt award for national integration to Mani Ratnam for the
Tamil film "Bombay" in 1995 when he was the head of the jury of the
43rd National awards.

hard to imagine this and mirch masala are by the same director.

Is the omission of his directorial debut "Holi"
is an oversight? or is it not worth being
included ;-) I thought it was quite an interesting
film, one of the few films that dealt with the
frustrating aspect of student life, not being able
to pin much hope on future.

Yes, 'Holi' was a good film and that along with 'Mirch Masala'
had people comparing KM to Shyam B. However, he turned out to
be extremely overrated. Watch what a mess he made of Flaubert's
wonderful book (besides totally wasting the very creative effort
of Hridaynath Mangeshkar) and the recent 'Aar Ya Paar'.

Cheers,

Anil

: is an oversight? or is it not worth being

Thanks, I have updated the master copy.
This list is intended to be comprehensive and not to be a
value judgement on the films.

Also, i agree with Arnab's comment about this being almost random,
with no clearly identifiable criteria for selection of the directors.
I 'inherited' this list from Amin and Piyush, and added some of
the important directors that were missing. I didn't want to cut
out the ones I thought werent important, rather just build upon
someone else's work.

Any suggestions on how to better organise this list?
