Old newspaper and Bollywood

Interesting News Item from old newspaper of the year 1972

Bollywood

All have different kind of interest in different areas. There are all kind of columns in newspaper for the readers. Mine interest is in Bollywood news. I am always looking for news item related to the recent film, New faces in the field of acting, their background and many more. So here I have found some pictures or news of Bollywood from very very old news paper of the year 1972. 


Why I am interested in Bollywood news?

This news article is about the success of Raj Kapoor. In the very beginning there is explanation of Raj Kapoor's affair with the actress Padmini, and how he launch her in his film "Jis Desh mai Ganga Behti hai". In the beginning of the cinema there used to lots of controversy regarding female star because rigid society doesn't allow female artist to work in film. If they are working more or earning more then their family put the barrier of marriage and stop their career. Same thing happen in the life of the famous actress Padmini. She is emerging as a new star but because of marriage her career suddenly falls down and she has to reject all the offers of the film. But in the life of male artist marriage doesn't cause any serious harm. They can continue their work without restrictions from family. Raj Kapoor then move on in his life and started making more hit films. "Sangam" released in the year 1964 and become the Magnum Opus of Raj Kapoor. Its Box office collection is 8 crore.

Shows the reality behind the curtain

Bollywood news always shows the reality that what is happening behind the camera or curtain. It tells about the life of the famous stars. Whenever we saw hero on screen we started thinking like he is the best, he is an ideal but we forgot that these all qualities which were shown onscreen are like mask on the face which used to attract audience. It makes people blind follower. But when we read the controversial news then we get the truth that what is the reality of star off screen.

Related to our life events

Bollywood is the mirror of society because it reflects the condition of common man or the conflict between rich and poor. This kind of conflict can be seen everywhere in the society. Bollywood portrays the characters in the relevance of current situation. There is struggle in the life of common man for job, for their basic rights, for basic requirements etc. Bollywood also covers all areas like religion, festival, politics, education, scientific development, business etc which make it perfect for all the classes.

Glamorous world



There is specific page, Page 3 for the glamour world of Bollywood which shows the trend of film-city, fashion sense and its competition with the foreign world.

Entertainment

The important feature of filmy gossip is to make us entertain and we never get bored. Normally political news make us bore when it shows only fakeness but in Bollywood news even if there is fakeness we feel entertained.


There is not much change in the news pattern of Bollywood. It is same as it was in past. But now there is special column with some specific masala title according to the language of  various region. Now the news of TV serials got same platform as like Bollywood, earlier there are not much TV shows.
