The article published on the website of the newspaper "The Guardian" on April 10, 2013 is headlined "Bollywood's 100th birthday celebrated at Bradford international film festival" by Irna Qureshi. The article reports at thursday marks the start of the 19th Bradford international film festival (Biff), which this year, in recognition of 100 years of Bollywood, includes a strand devoted to Indian film.
Speaking of this situation it is necessary to note that Happy Birthday Indian Cinema features a range of classics, such as the 12 surviving minutes of India's very first feature film, Raja Harishchandra, and the most expensive film ever made up to 1960, Mughal-e-Azam.
It’s important to note that there's also a rare opportunity to watch some of the greatest Indian films of all time on this festival.
The author writes that Silsila (The Affair) was made by the late Yash Chopra, known as the godfather of romance. The 1981 film famously popularised the tulip fields of Holland and featured a love triangle with a twist.
It is necessary to point out that when Yash Chopra's son Aditya made his directorial debut in 1995, he paid an affectionate tribute to his father by borrowing some of his visual vocabulary.
It is important to emphasize that when Mughal-e-Azam (The Greatest of the Mughals) was released in 1960, it was the most expensive film ever made.
The author writes that the director, K Asif, was such a perfectionist that it took him 10 years to complete the black and white film, at which point he approached the funders about shooting the entire thing again in Technicolor.
It is interesting to note that Mughal-e-Azam went on to become the highest-grossing film of its day thanks to its sweeping love story, epic battle scenes, legendary cast, unforgettable performances, memorable dialogue and one of the best soundtracks in the history of Indian cinema.
It is necessary to emphasize that Bollywood fans love reading elements of the stars' real lives into their films. They love watching Mother India knowing that the luminous actress Nargis fell in love with Sunil Dutt during filming, allegedly after he saved her from a fire on the set.
The article draws a conclusion that Happy Birthday Indian Cinema is part of Biff, which runs until 21 April 2013.
As for me, I would like to say some words about Mother India. I think that It is perhaps the quintessential Indian film, thanks to its powerful portrayal of womanhood and community in traditional Indian society.
VERY GOOD!
