Anything But Khamosh : The Shatrughan Sinha Biography by Bharathi S Pradhan - Om BooksAbout the Book :In a family of academics and doctors, and four sons named after the four brothers of the epic, Ramayan, the youngest and most pampered, Shatrughan Sinha (SS) stood out defiantly different. Studies were anathema to him; he was born to entertain and earn applause. In fact, he was born for the limelight. In the face of stiff opposition from a disciplinarian father, Bhuvaneshwar Prasad Sinha, and with the indulgence of older brother Lakhan who initiated SS to the fantasy world of Hindi cinema, mother Shyama Devi�s chhutka bauwa (little one) set out for the erstwhile Film Institute of India in Poona. Bombay would be the next logical destination. Without Kapoorian good looks or any connection with the Hindi film industry, the unknown scarface from Patna went on to create history on celluloid. In politics too, with no known surname or family to power his entry, he set a record as the first film star from India to be sworn-in as a Cabinet Minister twice over. Anything But Khamosh: The Shatrughan Sinha Biography, is a fascinating read that retraces the controversial journey of India�s most popular Bihari Babu.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 338 Genre/Categories : Biography Size(W x H) MM : 152x228 mm Author : Bharathi S Pradhan Language : English Publish Date : 21Dec2015 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Chaudhvin Ka Chand : The Original Screenplay by Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari - Om BooksAbout the Book :Guru Dutt's career as a filmmaker was buffeted by extreme reversals of fortune. Within eight short months of the box office debacle of Kaagaz Ke Phool, Guru Dutt released his next production, Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), an epic romance that proved tremendously popular.The film's thematic nucleus is the deep emotional connection between two friends, Aslam and Pyaare Miyan, which is put to the test when they fall in love with the same woman.

Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam : The Original Screenplay by Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari - Om BooksAbout the Book :"Half a century after its release, the cinematic appeal of Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) has not only endured but continues to grow. Central to its fame perhaps is the tour de force performance from Hindi cinema’s foremost tragedienne, Meena Kumari, in the award-winning role of Chhoti Bahu, a woman defiantly struggling against a life of material privilege but personal desolation. Directed by the renowned writer, Abrar Alvi, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, adapted from Bimal Mitra’s eponymous Bengali novel, Shaheb Bibi Golam, intrepidly explores the layered relationship that develops between Chhoti Bahu, a neglected, cloistered housewife, and Bhootnath, her male confidante, against the backdrop of late 19th-century feudal Calcutta. The film addresses complex interpersonal relationships with a wealth of subtlety and grace and throws light upon the exigencies of life for those under the yoke of the zamindari system in British India. Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam: The Original Screenplay seeks to archive the screenplay of this seminal film. It also explores the behind-the-scenes processes of creative filmmaking through interviews with the film’s cast and crew and incorporates analytical essays from authors Dinesh Raheja and Jitendra Kothari that bring into focus Guru Dutt’s preoccupation with the themes of loss, longing and platonic friendships, and delineate his enduring fascination for bygone eras. The films made under the aegis of Guru Dutt Films Pvt. Ltd. are an ineluctable part of Hindi cinema’s belle époque and this book is part of a compendium of books on three ageless classics — Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Chaudhvin Ka Chand and Kaagaz Ke Phool."About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 240 Genre/Categories : Cinema Size(W x H) MM : 230x230 mm Author : Dinesh Raheja, Jitendra Kothari Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2012 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Democracy in Peril : Donald Trump's America by Alan Friedman - Om BooksAbout the Book :"In Trump's America, democracy is under siege, institutions are threatened and demeaned every day by the White House and in tweets from a seemingly unhinged and unstable President of the United States. India and the world have learned to expect the unexpected from this former casino builder and reality TV star who runs the U.S. government the way an executive producer scripts a reality show. But at the same time, we now see a nation tearing itself apart. The United States is riven by anger and fear, while its president continues to be an impulsive and aggressive man. In this searing account, expatriate journalist Alan Friedman examines the real America through the mouths of its citizens. Friedman tells a vivid story of terrible inequality - from the excesses of Wall Street to the rising poverty in the United States - and explores issues, from racism and gun control to Obamacare, that have polarized a nation. Friedman paints a dark and provocative portrait of Trump's America, and in a specially written Introduction, examines the similarities and differences between Trump and Modi, and opines that both leaders represent a dangerous trend toward illiberal democracy, fewer freedoms, and an authoritarian approach to governing."About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 304 Genre/Categories : Non- Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 228.6x152.4 mm Author : Alan Friedman Language : English Publish Date : 7Jul2019 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Shammi Kapoor : The Game Changer by Rauf Ahmed - Om BooksAbout the Book :Shammi Kapoor was an absolute original, who redefined the profile of the Hindi film hero in the late ’50s and cast him in a unique,highly individualistic mould. He was a farcry from the self-righteous ‘hero’ of the time. He broke the existing rules, made his own.After a spell of initial shock the audiences went berserk over his machismo, the roguish demeanour and the flamboyance with whichhe sang and danced. And he became the first hero to break into the formidable cordon of the Big Three of the time: Raj Kapoor, DilipKumar and Dev Anand, who had dominated the scene unchallenged for more than a decade. Shammi’s uncanny sense of musicrevolutionised the song-and-dance routine which led to the evolution of a new genre of ‘musical romance’. Unfortunately, the criticsof the time failed to comprehend his highly individualistic style and swagger. And the way he violated the image of the conventionalhero of the time made them pass him over as a ‘freak’. Nevertheless, history hasn’t denied him his niche. As film scholar Dr. Punita Bhatt succinctly avers, “Shammi Kapoor represented the blending of unique elements rooted in time, place and his own talent. More important and less appreciated, is the fact that Shammi Kapoor’s contribution, like Dilip Kumar’s, has seeped into the mainstream of popular cinema in India, becoming a part of the larger tradition every actor is heir to. Jeetendra in the first phase of his career, Rajesh Khanna in early films like The Train and Aradhana and Rishi Kapoor on many occasions, are only a few of those in whom Shammi Kapoor’s influence was pronounced. In dozens of others it is less visible but there, nevertheless.”About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 279 Genre/Categories : Cinema/Biography Size(W x H) MM : 152x228 mm Author : Rauf Ahmed Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2016 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Story of My Experiments with Truth : An Autobiography Mohandas Karamcand Gandhi by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - Om BooksAbout the Book :It is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. I simply want to tell the story of mynumerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. [...] Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification; without selfpurification, the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God can never be realised by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification, therefore, must mean purification in all walks of life. And purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one’s surroundings. But the path to self-purification is hard and steep. To attain perfect purity, one has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action; to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion. I know that I have not in me as yet the triple purity, in spite of constant ceaseless striving for it. That is why the world’s praise fails to move me; indeed it very often stings me. To conquer the subtle passions seems to me far harder than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms. Ever since my return to India, I have had experiences of the dormant passions lying hidden within me. The knowledge of them has made me feel humiliated though not defeated. The experiences and experiments have sustained me and given me great joy. But I know I still have before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility. — Mohandas Karamchand GandhiAbout the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 568 Genre/Categories : Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 152x228 mm Author : Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2010 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Asha Parekh The Hit Girl by Khalid Mohamed - Om BooksAbout the Book :Asha Parekh was to the movies born. Ever since she was knee-high, she faced the camera as a child artiste, while performing simultaneously at dance fetes. An alumnus of Bombay’s The J. B. Petit Girls’ High School, she devoted after-school hours to learning classical dance from exacting gurus. Given a break as a leading lady by Filmalaya Studio’s Sashadhar Mukherjee, she debuted opposite Shammi Kapoor in the romantic entertainer Dil Deke Dekho. Instantaneously, the audience and the critics agreed: “A star is born.” Followed a concatenation of silver and golden jubilee hits, which established her as the quintessential Hit Girl. Possessed of all the requisites of the cinema of the 1960s and the ’70s – felicity at instinctive acting, intricate dance skills and the ability to invest conviction into the roles of zestful, glamour-exuding film heroines – she made an impact, too, with parts demanding gravitas. Apart from films in Hindi, she has also acted in films in Gujarati, Punjabi and a film in Kannada. The Mumbai film trade, to date, acknowledges her as one of the heroines with the highest number of successes. Her innumerable dance ballets on stage have earned her untold acclaim, at home and overseas. Among her other facets, she has been involved since decades in running a charitable hospital. She was Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (1998-2001) and has been associated with the Cine and TV Artistes’ Associations and other organisations dedicated to the welfare of film industry workers, technicians and actors. She turned producer and director with several top TRP-rated TV serials like ‘Kora Kagaz’ and ‘Palash ke Phool’ and programmes like ‘Baaje Paayal’. Currently she has chosen to retire from acting, but adds, “Never say never.” She lives by the famed Juhu shoreline in Mumbai.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 264 Genre/Categories : Cinema/Biography Size(W x H) MM : 180 x 240 Author : Khalid Mohamed Language : English Publish Date : 14Apr2017 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Architecture in india by Marilia Albanese - Om BooksAbout the Book :The history of Indian culture has its epicentre in the north of the country. It is here, in the Ganges plain and neighbouring areas, that the great spiritual movements that gave life to the complex Hindu universe and alternative beliefs of Buddhism and Jainism were developed. It was in northern India that the first sultanates and the great Moslem empire of the Moguls arose and here that the Sikh congregation was created. History has left its mark everywhere in Indian art and this tangible evidence of a cultural past is the most immediate and stimulating way for a people to feel a sense of communal identity. A comparison, therefore, of a Hindu temple to a Moslem mosque dramatically reveals the enormous difference that exists between the Hindu and Islamic worlds although this distinction tends to be softened in the architecture of their great palaces. The aim of this guide is to offer the widest possible perspective on northern India`s various artistic phenomena through the use of text,About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 170 Genre/Categories : Architecture/ Photography/Reference Size(W x H) MM : 17x241 mm Author : Marilia Albanese Language : English Publish Date : 1Jan2004 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
