Utpal Dutt - a legend in bollywood

Utpal Dutt, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chaterjee, Amol Parekar, Deepti Naval, Faurkh Shekh... WHAT'S COMMON TO ALL OF THEM ?

Any guess?

Yes, its old time comedy.

Everytime I feel sad and all my self installed mood lifters have failed, I take refuge to them or harry potter. Today it was the former. Harry Potter is not really a comedy, but there is something happy, hopeful and nice about the whole series. But today, I knew I needed something stronger. Hence 'Old Bollywood Classic' was my only choice.

I searched through quite a few of Utpal Dutt's movies. Most I have already seen and wanted to watch something new. Ran into 'Baat Baan Jaye'. I had not seen it but with Utpal Dutt in the cast, I did not mind taking a risk. It was a ok, movie with only Utpal Dutt bearing the laughter torch. But not good enough to regain focus.

My next request to google was "Utpal Dutt + Hrishikesh MUkherjee", "Utpal Dutta + Basu Chaterjee". Utpal Dutt with either of them is a DEADLY COMBINATION. BINGO!

I ran into what I needed. We just finished watching, 'Kisi Se Na Kahna'.


It worked like the charm I needed, a good luck charm. It's so hard to be productive when one is sad, atleast for me it is. I have to acknowledge this team "Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee" in my thesis, for giving us so such brilliant comedies. It helps me to regain focus and cheer myself up during this last PhD phase, without passing on my depression or irritation to others or disturbing anyone.

I can't thank them enough for showcasing such humor.
