Chupke Chupke

In recent times I heard much about the Amitabh Bachann and Dharmendra starrer comedy flick 'Chupke Chupke'.

First time I came to know about this movie was through Deccan Chronicle.I'm a regular reader(most of the times) of DC fundamentals which posts the trivia and G.K questions every week in Sunday Chronicle.The question one of the user asked in the DC fundamentals about Chupke Chupke is

"Apart from Sholay which is the other comedy flick where the duo Amitabh and Dharmendra acted together and released in the same year 1975?"(ofcourse the answer is Chupke Chupke)

Next time I heard about this movie was through 'R.K's Open Heart with Nagarjuna' which telecasts in  abn channel.Nagarjuna said that Balakrishna was keen to act in Remake of Chupke Chupke in Telugu with me.In-fact he also sent me CD to watch the movie.This multistar flick is in initiative process and may be it starts it's full fledged process after Balakrishna's SriRamaRajyam if everything goes well.(The Chupke Chupke movie topic came,when RK asked Nag,whether he has any plans to act in multi starrer movies esp with BalayyaBabu because in earlier days both their fathers i.e N.T.R and A.N.R acted in most of multistar  flicks).

As a movie freak I was so eager to watch this movie(after above incidents stuck in my mind) and at last watched this movie yesterday.I enjoyed the movie.Especially the performances of Dharmendra who acted as Professor Parimal alias PyareMohan illahabadi and Amitabh as Prof Sukumar and the scape goat in this movie Omprakash...lol.Though everybody acted very well,Dharmendra overshadowed everybody with his fabulous acting skills.Though it's remake of  Bengali movie 'Chhaddobeshi',it's one of the best Bollywood classical ever(which I came to know after research.).

Some interesting facts about this movie(Got from wiki)

1.Hrishikesh Mukerjee(Director/Prodecuer) wanted new actors to play roles of Amitabh and JayaBhadhuri.

2.In one of the song 'SaReGaMa' ,Md.Rafi missed one of the stanza and as he was not available during dubbing session ,it was KishoreKumar(The other singer in this song)who sang the additional stanza.

3.Jaya Bhaduri was pregnant during this filming,so most of the scenes shot on her were taken carefully and also to be noted that she acted in very few scenes through out the move.

I guess most of the readers know about this movie long back ago and I'm the only one who missed this classical movie.But I'm just writing this post so that movie lovers like me will not miss this movie...:) :).
