Ideas Of India Summit 2025
The fourth edition of News' Ideas of india Summit has begun. Along with giants from different fields, many giants from the entertainment industry have also come to participate in this event.
On one hand, Tabla Maestro Zakir Hussain's younger brother Ustad Taufiq Qureshi and Tabla Player Bikram Ghosh came and talked about classical music, now Indian cinema legend Amol Palekar also joined the stage for the discussion.
Amol Palekar, who gave many cult films like Golmaal and Chhoti Si Baat, is still showing his talent in the world of acting. Both of them talked about many interesting things in the 'Art Activism and Acting' session here. Amol Palekar has been a part of such films in the last 50 years which have been telling the story of common people. As soon as he came here, Amol said I will follow you on the path you want to take me. After this, he was welcomed with thunderous applause.
A 2-hour film was made from a one-and-a-half-page story - Rajnigandha (Basu Chatterjee)
He talked about his film in which he said that the hero of the story told to him was different from other heroes. Then the film was made. People liked films like Chitchor, Chhoti Si Baat, and Rajnigandha very much. The media then gave me the label of the boy next door. Meaning a person who feels like one of our surroundings.
This was the time when amitabh bachchan had become very popular, and Rajesh Khanna's era had not ended. There were big names like dharmendra and Jeetendra. I was nothing in comparison to them, that's why people liked me. Because people thought I was one among them. That's why my 3 films became silver Jubilee.
Did you demolish your boy next door's house?
Amol Palekar said that he and shyam benegal started together.
