Javed Akhtar calls out ‘creative bankruptcy’ in Bollywood, reveals he refused to rewrite his songs for Border 2: ‘What is the need to recreate?’ | Bollywood News

Javed Akhtar calls out ‘creative bankruptcy’ in Bollywood, reveals he refused to rewrite his songs for Border 2: ‘What is the need to recreate?’ | Bollywood News

When T-Series launched “Ghar Kab Aaoge”, the rehashed version of memorable song “Sandese Aate Hain” from JP Dutta’s 1997 period war drama Border, Javed Akhtar’s name was mentioned in the lyrics credit along with Manoj Muntashir, who has written some new lyrics for the song that have been merged with the veteran poet’s lyrics in the new Border 2 song. Now, Akhtar has revealed that he was approached by the makers, T-Series and JP Films, to write additional lyrics for the songs of Border 2, including “Ghar Kab Aaoge” and “Jaate Hue Lamho”. However, he turned down the offer because he thinks of the trend of adding lyrics to existing popular songs as “intellectual and creative bankruptcy”. “They did ask me to write for the film, but I refused. I really feel this is a kind of intellectual and creative bankruptcy. You have an old song, which did well, and you want to put it out again by adding something? Make new songs or else accept that you cannot do the same level of work. …

‘Sandese Aate Hain’ was rejected at first, Javed Akhtar reminded Anu Malik of this tune during Border; Anu found ‘no poetry’ in the 11-page song | Bollywood News

In the summer of 1997, India was on the brink of celebrating her 50th Independence Day and as one would expect, Bollywood was ready to celebrate in full gusto. 29 years ago, the social and political climate of the country, and even the world, was starkly different as a war film was not supposed to be a call for war. It focused heavily on the emotional turmoil of the soldiers who were making sacrifices for the country. The release of JP Dutta’s Border and Subhash Ghai’s Pardes within a span of a few months was to re-invigorate the feeling of patriotism and it proved to be a good bet for the producers. Border, which was based on the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, focused on 120 soldiers who defended their post against thousands of Pakistani soldiers who came in with a barrage of tanks. The film was loved by the masses and while it might not get the same kind of reception today, what has proved to stand the test of time …

Both played Umrao Jaan; one made history, the other missed the mark

Rekha vs Aishwarya Rai: Both played Umrao Jaan; one made history, the other missed the mark Aishwarya Rai and Rekha starred in two films with the same title. However, one actress’s film was a blockbuster, while the other’s was a flop. Try to guess… Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rekha: Rekha and Aishwarya Rai are among the leading actresses in Hindi films. Are you aware of the connection between these two? If that’s the case, allow us to inform you. These are the actresses who portrayed the same character at two distinct periods. We are discussing Umrao Jaan. They both contributed to the film Umrao Jaan. This narrative is filled with poetry, rendering actresses from two generations eternal. However, in terms of box office performance, the question lingers regarding Rekha and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Umrao Jaan. Rekha’s Umrao Jaan Launched in 1981, Muzaffar Ali’s Umrao Jaan became a significant landmark of that time. Inspired by the novel Umrao Jaan Ada by Urdu author Mirza Hadi Ruswa, this film captured the audience’s …
