The Man Who Made Agneepath.

                 We have all gone gaga over Karan Malhotra's rendition of Agneepath. Decent stuff. Sanjay Dutt does a good job. Hrithik and Priyanka, well... they are a part of a good movie, is all we can say.

Agneepath happens to be a remake of one of India’s cult movies called, of course- Agneepath. Now, THAT is a movie. It is touted as a rip off of Scarface! Yes, Al Pacino’s Scarface. Now, two things:                                                                                           

• ·          NO ONE can remake SCARFACE! “Say Hello to my li’l friend *Dhichkyao Dhickyao*”
• ·        If Agneepath WAS a rip off, we at Tera Kya Hoga Kaalia(TKHK) happen to LOVE that rip off! Simple logic, pah!

So Agneepath- the old one- has some very sexy performances by Big B, Mithun “I-am-a-disco-dancer” Chakraborty and finally, Danny Denzongpa! Danny is THE shiz! No son of Sunil Dutt can beat him over that role. Amazing movie, with amazing music, amazing story, amazing drama(especially, the Sambhar fight sequence). In short, Sexy Shit. If you haven’t watched it, watch it. TKHK recommends it. So, do it.

Now as it happens, some directors somehow remain in obscurity, in-spite of their innate brilliance and so is the case with the director of Agneepath, Mukul. S Anand. His untimely death in 1997 hasn't given him the recognition he deserves. So here we are, telling you some very interesting stuff about The Man Who Made Agneepath(the REAL one). He has directed quite a few notable movies. We are not gonna talk about all his movies, since this is NOT Wikipedia. For a good list of his movies, wiki him up.

He directed Agneepath, of course. He is also the director of a movie that brought two biggies- Rajnikant and Big B- together. Yup! They have starred in a movie together. The movie is Hum, by the way. He is also the director of this Afghani romantic movie, Khudah Gawah which is a li’l hilarious because of Big B’s accent and all. Trying too hard. Oh! It also starred Nagarjuna. Si! The Telugu actor. But, the movie did win Anand a fimfare.

Anand has also directed Trimurti. Yes, the completely stupid, pointless and ridiculous movie starring Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and SHAHRUKH KHAN in his stupidest role after Duplicate. Yes, The Man Who Made Agneepath also made Trimurti. What can we say, shit happens! 

Now, what is interesting is that he started making this movie called DUS. Remember the song “Suno Gaur Se Duniya Waalo”, with Shilpa, Salman and Sanjay jumping around? Yes, it was from a certain movie called Dus. 

The story line is a li’l bleh, so we won’t talk about it. But, the point is that he died midway the movie in 1997, leaving the movie “40% complete” (How do you measure how much a movie is done, really? The figure 40% seems to be omnipotent. It features everytime you research Dus. Weird) So, he dies leaving the movie with nothing but a few action sequences and an album(Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s debut composition).

Tinnu Anand

In 2005, Nitin Manmohan, the producer of Dus releases another movie called Dus. Yup! It’s all loopy. So the 2005 Dus was technically, Mukul’s legacy and it was a pretty good hit. Kudos to Pankaj Kapoor.

Arbit Fact: Mukul S Anand is Tinnu Anand’s cousin. Tinnu Anand is the toothy boss of Asin(Kalpana) in Ghajini. Tinnu Anand is not only an actor, he is also a director. He directed the Big B starrers Shahenshah and Major Saab!

So that’s the shiz about Mukul S Anand who never quite got his due and we are doing that li’l bit. Amen. Hope now you know Bollywood isn’t JUST Bollywood. Please do write in, comment.
