The Great Gambler (1979)

With its exotic locales, scheming baddies, long-lost brothers, nonsensical plot, and smitten heroines, there is little to set this film apart from dozens of other masala movies of its era. Yet the charisma of its stars - Amitabh Bachchan in a dashing double role, and Zeenat Aman as smoking hot as ever - is enough to seat The Great Gambler solidly in the category of light, fun timepass.

Jai (Amitabh) is a gambler, a man with the power to make the cards dance for him, hired by casino owner Ratan Das (Madan Puri) to separate rich businessmen from their money. Ratan Das hatches a scheme to marry Jai to Mala (Neetu Singh), the daughter of another wealthy businessman (Iftekhar), and sends Jai to Lisbon to meet her. Jai doesn't know that Ratan Das is engineering a scheme to steal the plans for the government's powerful new defense technology and sell it to the highest bidder. His contacts in this scheme include a gang boss named Saxena (Utpal Dutt), whose henchmen Ramesh (Prem Chopra) and Marconi (Sujit Kumar) carry out his dirty work.

Meanwhile, a police officer named Vijay (also Amitabh) is hot on the trail of Saxena's gang and eager to recover the stolen secrets. Vijay is a dead ringer for Jai, of course, and when Saxena's gang realizes this they - with the help of their moll, Shabnam (Zeenat Aman) strongarm Jai into taking over Vijay's identity and helping them complete their transaction. While Jai is diverted from his journey to meet his betrothed Mala, she finds Vijay instead and - once she's mistaken him for Jai - sparks fly.

The story is much less coherent than that description, with numerous details, twists, and complexities that don't fit together and make little sense. But the plot is not where The Great Gambler's entertainment lies. It lies rather in odd scenes and fun moments, driven by Amitabh and Zeenat looking their best. The henchman Marconi, who lives in Rome, speaks Hindi with a lilting Italian accent. Jai and Vijay, once united, pull of a hysterical bamboozle in the guise of an impulsive emir and his bumbling secretary. There is a stomach-churning fight scene that takes place in a meat locker. Zeenat melts the screen with a hotter than hot belly dance in "O Rukasa mera naam". Asha Bhosle sings the plaintive "Do lafzon ki hai," gorgeously picturized on a Venetian gondola. Moments like these are the glue that holds The Great Gambler together when the plot gets too nonsensical or the chase scenes and fight scenes too repetitive.

Amitabh did not do enough with his double role - it was too difficult to tell his characters apart, unless there were some linguistic cues that escaped my rudimentary Hindi comprehension. But that didn't detract too much from the fun of watching Amitabh just do his thing. If you're a fan of his, or of Zeenat's, there are worse ways to spend a rainy afternoon than watching The Great Gambler.

One year after the popular reception of “Don”, The Great Gambler attempts to emulate that success by bringing back many of the same actors and by again giving Amitabh Bachchan a dual role in this action film. Though it never quite reaches the deliriously enjoyable highs of the “Don” experience, it certainly manages to pack an enormous amount of fun into its running time. From nearly the opening scene it grabs you by the ear and leads you on a chase from India to Egypt and through the streets of Rome, Lisbon, Amsterdam and Venice. And unlike many Bollywood films, in which only the musical fantasy pieces occur in these settings, this actually has the story unfolding in these locations and at times it feels like a travel tour – the pyramids on your right, the coliseum on your left.

DARED TO BARE: ZEENIE AMAN:

Qurbani:


If Zeenie was good in the seventy's then came 1980 and Feroze Khan's Qurbani, propels Zeeine to greater heights:

.

QURBANI:


Qurbani is considered one of the classic Bollywood action films from its period and it lives up to its reputation from beginning to end in a big sprawling messy tale of shoot outs, brawls, car chases, double-crosses, nasty villains, nastier vamps and a heroine (Zeenie Aman) with enough exposed cleavage to make any man forget his problems. It also has two heroes who are both on the wrong side of the law but on the right side of honor and both of them have a mean upper cut to go along with their chiselled jaws.

.

QURABNI:


Our first sighting of Zeenat (Sheela) has her singing in a nightclub barely wearing a slinky red number that has more loopholes than a Congressional tax bill – her skin seems to shimmer as she dances across the floor to the disco beat of the legendary song Aap Jaisa Koi – she is like creamy cheesecake in need of a spoon. Later when a letch with mutton chops approaches her, Rajesh gives him a thrashing, though whether it is for being a nuisance or for his facial faux pas isn’t clear but you are glad to see it happen. They have been dating for over a year, but Zeenat still doesn’t yet know what Rajesh does for a living

.

QURBANI:


The film has a solid collection of songs – other than the bouncy Aap Jaisa Koi that Zeenat sings twice – both in dresses that could cause riots in some countries – there are four other songs – Laila o Laila is another cabaret song from Zeenat all glammed up in white and the ballad Kaya Deka The Lo which has the sultry beauty making polka dots look like a fashion statement. A note of interest that I came across was that the song Aap Jaisa Koi was sung by a fifteen year old girl who was discovered in the U.K. by Feroz Khan and this song made Nazia Hasan into a star. She was also the main female playback singer in Star and sings the infectious “Bhoom Bhoom”. Sadly, she died in 2000 of cancer.

I watched Don last night on MaxAsia on TV, (saw the movie back in Guyana in 79 I think), anyways, she was not all that great in it. Her hairstyle was diff.
In Hera Panna, yes she was smashing with Dev Anand.

QURBANI:

Feroz Khan and 'Qurbani' are part of my life: Zeenat Aman

Mumbai: Yesteryears glamorous actress Zeenat Aman remembers Feroz Khan as a flamboyant filmmaker and says "Qurbani" epitomised the man and his larger-than-life stylish image.

"It's so sad. I didn't know about his illness. I only got to know about how unwell he was from his brother Akbar Khan whom I met on a flight. Feroz was such a stylish man. Lived life king-size. I can't forget all the good times we had while doing 'Qurbani'," Zeenat said.

" 'Qurbani' was such an amazing film and one of the biggest successes of my career. 'Qurbani' epitomised the man, that larger-than-life stylish image. He was a very special man. 'Qurbani' happened at a time when all kinds of special films were happening to my career - 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', 'Shalimar', 'Abdullah'. But 'Qurbani' and its music were phenomenal 'Aap jaisa koi' and 'Laila o laila'."

The actress was in Rajkot, Gujarat campaigning for the Congress party when she heard of Feroz Khan's demise.

Feroz Khan died at his farmhouse in Bangalore Sunday after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 69.

Zeenat says as a filmmaker Feroz Khan never compromised on his vision.

"He wanted to be and do the best. He did everything larger-than-life. When he didn't like a set for 'Qurbani', he actually got it dismantled and built a new one. He wouldn't compromise on his vision. What he made was what he was in real life. He was a thorough gentleman, very charming and he epitomised a certain kind of masculinity that was way ahead of its times," she said.

The actress regrets not meeting him often.

"It's so sad but we are so busy with our own lives we are unable to keep track of people who have played such an important part in our lives. But the time I spent making 'Qurbani' with Feroz will always always remain etched in my memory. Feroz Khan and 'Qurbani' are part of my life forever.

"Feroz was always revved up about the films he was making. He shot them all over the world. For the climax of 'Qurbani' we went to London. He had international technicians in 'Qurbani', which was unusual for that time," she said.

"You know I just realised among all the actresses, I've worked with the maximum actors turned directors whether it was Feroz Khan, O.P. Ralhan, Amjad Khan. I wish I had kept in touch. But that's the way of the industry.

"You give a hundred percent of yourself to a film and then move on. The last time we met was more than a year ago at an awards function. We both got lifetime achievement awards. We bonded backstage. I knew he was unwell, but not that unwell. I'm now going to make an effort to keep up with colleagues." (IANS)

QURBANI: 1980:

Feroz Khan plays a thief named Rajesh who is blackmailed by villain Vikram (Shakti Kapoor) and his evil sister Jwala (Aruna Irani) into staking from crime boss Rakka (Amrish Puri). Jwala is Rakka's ex wife and has been cheated by Rakka, who has stolen her fortune and divorced her. Jwala wants revenge and will stop at nothing to get it. If Rajesh does not do the job, Vikram will kill Rajesh's lover, Sheela (Zeenat Aman), who is a disco club singer and dancer, and Rajesh's best friend Amar's (Vinod Khanna) daughter Tina (Natasha Chopra). The thief is continuously being stalled by Inspector Amjad Khan.

Amar is an eligible young widower, who meets with beautiful Sheela, and falls in love with her. But Sheela, while taking a maternal affinity to little Tina, does not reciprocate his advances, as she loves Rajesh. Unknown to Sheela, Amar and Rajesh meet each other, and a strong friendship bond is formed. Rajesh would like Amar to settle in the U.K. and so they concoct a scheme whereby Amar would steal gold bars and jewellery from a safe, then phone the police, and then let Rajesh take over, get arrested, get a prison term for about 12 to 18 months, and after his release, he will join Amar abroad in U.K. Things don't go according to plan as Amar gets accused for killing Rakka, and the police construe that Rajesh has been framed by Amar, so that Amar can get Rajesh out of the way, keep all the money, as well as Sheela, all for himself.

ZEENIE AMAN'S LAWAARIS 1981



Abandoned as an infant and raised largely by a shiftless drunk (Shreeram Lagoo), Vijay is now grown up and, unbeknown st to everyone, working for his own father. In order to marry his true love Mohini (Zeenat Aman), however, he's going to have to find out what his true ancestry is--even if doing so throws everybody's life into chaos.

LAWAARIS: 1981:

THE VIDEO: KABKE BICHDE HUE HAIN: LAWAARIS 1981:

Starring Raj Babbar
Zeenat Aman
Padmini Kohlapure

The Story is about Ramesh is a only son of Ramlal Gupta. He takes over the estate and business. He sponsored a Beauty Contest by Vimal Fabrics and is attracted to the Beauty Bharti Saxena. He invites her to his ship to celebrate her winning as well as accompanies her on several modeling shoot. The next day Ramesh is arrested by the police and charged with sexually assaulting Bharti. He hires a advocate named Chandra. The Court hears the arguments as well as the testimony from none other than Bharti\'s sister, Neeta, and exonerates Ramesh. After, Bharti is arrested by the police for killing Ramesh in cold blood. What reason for killed Ramesh is the rest of the story.

The film is a remake of the American film Lipstick (1976). The film became a box office hit.

.

Dadasaheb Phalke award winner B.R. Chopra has always made thought provoking films which are social commentaries and Insaf Ka Tarazu is no exception. It is a story of a girl Bharati (Zeenat Aman) who had everything - beauty, a great glamourous career, the love of Ashok (Deepak Prasher), a sister Neeta (Padmini Kolhapure) and loses it all because a man Ramesh (Raj Babbar) brutally rapes her. And when she dares to seek justice, is "raped" again by her rapist's lawyer who publicly turns the rape into a slur on her character rather than what it is - a brutal violation of her body and spirit. As if this humiliation is not enough, the man tries to rape her innocent young sister. Will her sister have to suffer the way she did? or will justice prevail?

Insaf Ka Tarazu became a milestone of Hindi cimena for many reasons - it was one of the first films to deal with the subject of rape as a social issue, it also remained at the center of a debate as to whether such a film, which showed rape so graphically, was actually thought provoking or merely titillation. It was also the film in which Raj Babbar made his unforgettable debut - as a rapist!
