How they become stars. This is a rarity I dug up, and not just a rarity, but a rarity with Mithun. Here it is still Dotanzorodiskov and Little known to the general public, but the drama is already playing so that the heart freezes. When there is pain in his eyes, it is as if the seal of universal sorrow and great tragedy lies on his whole face. That's great. Such a gift probably has only Mithun. His whole face is involved in this moment, the facial expressions are amazing, in such dramatic moments, he does not even need to say anything, just look forward, eyes full of pain and anguish, and the audience will shed tears and fall forever at his feet. This is only his fifth film role after "Royal Hunt", "Smoke", "The Five of Us" and "Dream".
This is a love story Dhania (Zarina Wahab) and Kundan (Mithun Chakraborty), since childhood did not think of life without each other. They live in a small village, they both paste movie posters and clean up the local movie theater, which they earn for their bread. They both like to watch movies and then act out scenes and dialogue from movies. Once Dhania winds up a record on the phonograph and begins to dance, depicting Hema Malini. It is also welcome to join Kundan. Nearby by chance there is a film producer who came to the village to choose places for field shooting. He is amazed by the skill of Dhani, and by inviting young people to Bombay, he helps a girl from a village simpleton turn into a film hero named Sarita Devi. For Kundan there is no more room in her life, and he feels that love is gradually going somewhere. He still loves her, but it's not easy to get out of the movie business. Once there, it is almost impossible to go back. And contracts need to be worked out. Loneliness and frustration force Kundan to return to the village.
And when I discovered this movie the other day, I couldn’t help but watch it right away, and with the voiceover of Zee.TV, which is very good. I didn’t even have this movie on the waiting list, and I didn’t know about it, honestly. Although I was sure I knew the full filmography of Mithun. I think very few people knew about him from Russian fans of Mithun, he was recently posted on the Internet (on social networks) and voiced also recently.
"Star" - a film directed by Miraj (I have not heard of such a director before). It's a romantic drama. The story, script and dialogue are written and shown very well. There is good chemistry between Mitun and Zarina. He dances as usual divinely. Zarina Wahab was also very liked, I had never seen her anywhere before, but she played with dignity, danced very well and all their joint dances with Mithun looked great, they were very in harmony with each other.
The whole film sounds very beautiful songs performed by Lata Mangeshkar (who unfortunately passed away on February 6 of this year, which plunged the entire Bollywood cinematic family into great mourning, and us viewers too). Lata-Gi won the audience with her voice (which many film actresses have sung since the 50s), giving it to the service of art and singing songs for more than 1000 films. That deserves a lot of respect. Eternal memory of this woman, from grateful viewers and fans of Indian cinema.
The film mainly tells about the real life of Bollywood actors and their path to fame. All aspects of what many people have to go through to become famous and remain a full-fledged actor are shown. Be sure to watch this film, it is for film lovers and true fans of Mithun.
Especially this film will appeal to female fans of Mithun, who saw in it once the ideal of a man (as I did in my time) - the way a man should be. After all, in addition to the beauty to which we all flocked like butterflies to the light, Mithun revealed to us other beautiful facets of his personality, which we, Russian girls, in beautiful Russian bottling men, and do not even expect. Ours are just beautiful - that's all. For them, it is enough to present themselves as the best gift. The beauty of the soul that Mithun shows and proves to us is such an unexpected gift of heaven that years and the worship of millions of people have not made him callous and arrogant in life. He is very kind, he is very easy to hurt, he is like a child. But he's all-forgiving. And a man in the full sense of the word. His family is his greatest asset. And personally, I am incredibly pleased that at least some Russian ladies choose this kind of beauty.
He is probably the only Indian actor who in all 35 years of his career has never appeared in any scandals, ignores all the provocative articles in the media ... he is just above all this fuss ... Mithun is like a lotus in the swamp, always clean and beautiful, dirt does not stick to him. Of course, this is my own reasoning on the topic, but as a true fan of his, I could not write anything about him in my life.
And in this film, this role, Mithun once again confirmed everything I wrote above, and once again proved why he has such a huge army of fans around the world, and new generations of fans are emerging. I even met 11-year-olds whom Mithun conquered with his creativity and talent. Unlike other actors, Mithun Chakraborty cannot trace the stages of the formation of his acting skills (i.e., something like: aha, this is his early film, so there are flaws, and this is a later one, so it is immediately noticeable how he improved the technique), because the person, apparently, is a genius from birth ... He has enough time that the hero is given according to the script to play THIS to give the viewer a piece of himself.
"The Star" is a story about the eternal, about true love and unfulfilled hopes. And how it all started beautifully, and what kind of drama follows. In fact, the film is quite simple, but the depth can be seen in simplicity. Everyone can think about something for themselves, think about the fact that for the sake of the happiness of a loved one, you can sacrifice your happiness. Love makes you believe what others no longer believe. The fact that with the fire of love a man is strong, and this flame does not extinguish, while he is kindled by both.
