Rajkumar and Meena Kumari pair on screen
Meena Kumari mentioned Meena Kumari with Rajkumar, who has made a special identity due to her strong dialogue and stylish performance because the film in which the actress came in, caught the attention of the fans the most. The popularity of the entire film was looted. Used to pick up the film on her shoulder. The hero was lost in front of Meena Kumari. Whatever the role, she used to live in the focus of the story. Even Personalty like Dharmendra and Gurudutt became lighter in front of Meena Kumari's personality. But the only prince was the only prince, on which Meena Kumari could never dominate. The same thing is about Dilip Kumar. Tragedy King was called an acting emperor in his era, many actors were impressed by his payment, but whatever film Rajkumar came with him, he showed a face-to-face competition.
Rajkumar-Meena Kumari or Rajkumar-Dilip will discuss in detail Kumar, but before that they tell some big things of this actor. Rajkumar's real name was Kulbhushan Pandit. When he came in films in the fifties, artists like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Guru had engaged. Rajkumar neither belonged to any film family nor was he fond of films. It is even said about him that he used to act, but he used to watch very little films, even he was indifferent to watching his films. Later, he got fame with films like Heer Ranjha and Samay.
Left Sub-Inspector, Name also changed
In the forty-fifty-fifty, actors had a big trend to change their names and write Kumar with their names. The sequence that started with Ashok Kumar reached Rajkumar, Manoj Kumar and Sujit Kumar via Dilip Kumar, Rajendra Kumar. This trend was also seen in Bangla cinema, for example Uttam Kumar. Actually Rajkumar had come to Mumbai only in the forties. Then his name was Kulbhushan Pandit. Kashmir Pandit belonged to the family. His ancestors were from Srinagar but before independence, his family settled in Balochistan, which is currently in Pakistan.
Kulbhushan Pandit came to work as a sub-inspector in Mumbai Police. In the police station where there was duty, the filmmen also used to come. Kulbhushan was thin in appearance, but his style of speaking was quite recreated. Dramaticness was reflected. In the later era, the curtains which are seen to be their gestures, they remained part of their real life from the beginning. In his characters, a police officer was adopted forever. The film artist or producer-director who comes to this police station, seeing his style, inspired him to act, then he wished to go to films from here and resigned from his job and named the film- Rajkumar.
Neither family background nor romantic face
But it was not easy to become a successful hero without a family background and without romantic face. This artist, who became a prince from Kulbhushan, had to struggle a lot. His initial film did not work. He began to realize that his face was not worth the romantic hero. Now they should do something else. Dilip Kumar, in front of Dev Anand, his face has no status. Meanwhile, he got a chance to work in Mehboob Khan's film Mother India in 1957. It was a heroine -dominated film, in which Nargis was the main heroine but Rajkumar impressed everyone with his small role. The fame of Mother India opened the courts of Raj Kumar's fate.
First collided with Dilip Kumar in the message
Two years later, in 1959, Raj Kumar got a chance to work with veteran actor like Dilip Kumar. This film was- Prophet. The film made a splash at the box office. At that time Dilip Kumar was a big star anyway. Every film of his was very well liked. In the cinema hall, a crowd of spectators was considered to be drawn. The message is considered to be a film of its story, song and music as well as a collision of two Kumaras. Rajkumar did not fade in front of Dilip Kumar in front of Dilip Kumar due to his payment and dialogue delivery. But after this, these big actors got a chance to see Subhash Ghai's 1991 film Saudagar together. In Saudagar, both of them sang songs together- tamarind ka buta berry ka plum… and along with this, there was a lot of dialogue between the two. Here too, Rajkumar did not prove to be nineteen with Dilip Kumar.
In fact, Rajkumar continued to adopt the dramatics of Parsi theater later, and did not allow any artist in front to dominate himself. Dilip Kumar or Meena Kumari is famous for their serious performance. One Tradeji King and the other tragedy queen. The presence of both artists has been creating an atmosphere. The popularity of the film in which both the actors came in, made the popularity of the film. It is said about Meena Kumar that all the artists used to be suppressed in front of her talent and personality. But there were only prince who did not suppress Meena Kumari's talent on screen.
Pakija, Kajal, Dil Jigs with Meena in a temple
Rajkumar and Meena Kumari have worked together in many films. Remember the scenes of Pakija. Look at your feet, they are very beautiful, do not take it on the ground, you will be dirty… Whenever this dialogue resonates in the film, Rajkumar does not appear and knock. Pakija was also a heroine -dominated film. This film is still known as Meena Kumari. Without Meena Kumari, this film has no identity. But as many times the prince shares the screen with Meena Kumari, provides weight.
Apart from Pakija, remember films like Kajal and Dil Ek Mandir. Kajal of Dharmendra and Meena Kumari has been a famous film of her era. Remember Mo in this film Rafi's sang song- The delicate lips to touch… nothing is jammed… The song is shot on Rajkumar and in front is the actress Meena Kumari. Rajkumar is acting an alcoholic in his special style. The more mausoleum as this song became, the more Rajkumar's performance.
Similarly, remember the scene of the heart one temple, when Meena Kumari is singing the bride's dress to fulfill the last wish of her sick husband (prince )- Stop jay night, stop you… The scene here is opposite to Kajal. Meena Kumari is singing and the prince is watching. Even in his silent style, Rajkumar's eyes were speaking a dialogue.
In the style of Rajkumar, a police officer kept appearing. Acting on screen and also in real life. There are many stories of his dialogue and forgetting stories, talk on him again.
