Asrani: Sometimes Silly, Sometimes Serious, Always Splendid Asrani holds a unique place as a Hindi cinema legend who could crack comedy, play the perfect sidekick, and, above all, shine as a character artist who delivered with consistency, sincerity and grace.

What Nirupa Roy was to filmi moms and Nazir Hussain to filmi dads, Asrani, I’d say, was to on-screen brothers. As heroine ka bhai, he covered the full spectrum.
In ode to the master of turning random throwaway bits into unforgettable wholesome moments.

These Jahan Pyar Miley (1969) posters just keep outdoing each other.

(Also, the best someone has painted Shashi Kapoor.)

100 per cent yes. It's got lost and found, lost memory, circus, heist and an elephant dost. You will have fun.

Very rarely do I spot a museum in Hindi films.

Here’s one from Anjane Mein (1978).

It was very popular and would have been THE rain song of the year but got steamrolled by Tip Tip.

Mural of a watermelon slice being held by many hands against a backdrop of a kefiya in which the dots at the cross-section of the gridded pattern are turning into birds flying, seen on a wall in Kochi, India. A tuktuk is parked in front.

From the streets of Kochi, the solidarity movement.
