Hrishi Da & His Movies With Veins Of Comedy, Relationship and Femininity

The director Hrishikesh Mukherjee popularly known as Hrishi Da was born today in the year 1922. He was a mathematician and science teacher before he entered into the glorious industry of Hindi Cinema.

His director attributes the intensity of his guru Bimal Roy yet the creative King was Hrishi Da Himself.

He was an Old-school director who has illustrated the suffocation of relationships and women of post-independence Era & the shackles of cultural chains around her and, of course, he was a proved maestro of the virtuous comedy.

His directorial debut was Musafir, not a commercial success; however, the direction was appreciated so Raj Kapoor gave him the Director Seat of Anari.

Forty-two Films in the span of four decades, he was indeed a “pioneer of emerging middle modern cinema”.

His heroines were the epitome of traditionalism with a pinch of Modernism.

The love exploration in Mili and Guddi still leaves everyone speechless.Anupama described the complexity of the father-daughter relationship and turmoil of emotions in a woman.

The List based on Sweet Agony of Indian Women is endless and so are the painfully beautiful relationships.

Ego of married man on success of wife; the pain of doctor and cancer patient Anand! Who can ever forget that? The ‘Life goes on’ attitude of ANAND stands for hope and happiness. That word “BABU MOSHAY” brings a smile on everyone’s face.

Ask for evergreen comedy hits and you will end up with names like Bawarchi, Golmaal, Chupke-Chupke, Rang-Birangi so on and so forth. Who was the director of these movies? Yes, none other than Hrishi Da.

He was the shining star of Hindi Cinema, who gave it a new angle and perspective. He is alive with us through his movies.
