Jaipur Dev Festival - Javed Akhtar (Indian poet, lyricist, screenwriter) Event Organized by THE EVER GREEN DEVANAND SOCIETY, JAIPUR #JAIPURDEVFESTIVAL #jdf
Devanand was an institute in itself. An evergreen personality an angel & down to earth won zillion hearts not in Indian diaspora but abroad as well. He is always live in our soul & hearts.
DevAnand is the best hero because of some the greatest movies.Guide is the Kohinoor of films. And Funtoosh, Kala Bazaar, Tere ghar ke saamne, Tere mere Sapne. These movies have the best music, pure romance, and great stories. I love DevAnand.
He was the most charming actor of Indian CinemaHis dialogue delivery was unique and very fast.If India was culturally open he could have played easily the James Bond role.His name Anand is happyness.
Nasiruddin Shah once reported to have said that Indian films had two real mile stone heros. One Dev Anand. Every young boys wanted to copy him. Secon : Dara Singh, because every school pupil wanted to be strong like him.
I am much older than this gentleman and don't agree with what he is saying. Dev Saheb gave break to Guru Dutt in Baazi not Jaal which was not Navketan movie. As far as Nasir Hussain is concerned he arrived much later on the Scene whereas Devanand was already a big Star. He had big hits like Baazi, Jaal, Taxi Driver.If at all anyone deserves credit for Devanand 's success are his two brothers,Chetan& Goldie and also SD Burman ...
Chetan Anand ? Definitely. But Devsaab himself was responsible for shaping Goldie Anand's career though the evergreen star was frank about the fact nobody could direct classics like JOHNNY MERA NAAM, JEWEL THIEF and GUIDE like Vijay Anand did. If an individual needs to be credited for the success of a legendary star like Dev Anand, it's got to be(as per Devsaab himself) thespian Ashok Kumar and fellow screen icon Balraj Sahni.
He was a performer, never an actor. Actors should get into their character . He never got into his characters, like so many others. And every era had its hero
He didn't need to get into the character like a method actor. The essence of Dev Anand lay in giving the character your own touch and he succeeded in this regard without much effort.
Movies of Devanand and Vijay Anand like Guide, Kala Bazar , Tere Mere Sapne, Hare Ram Hare Krishna were far ahead of their time.. CID , Baazi , Jewel thief, Johny Mera Naam , Mahal , Warrant , Lootmaar are one of the finest suspense and crime thriller films ... But ya , his last few movies were garbage 🗑️
