मनमोहन देसाई की अधूरी प्रेम दास्तां | Love story of Manmohan Desai and nanda
Manmohan Desai was known for his family-centered, action-song-and-dance films which catered to the tastes of the Indian masses and through which he achieved great success. His movies defined a new genre called masala films. A common theme in his films was the lost and found plot where family members would be separated and reunited.
He had a string of hits with Amitabh Bachchan in the 70s and early 80s which helped cement Bachchan's status as a superstar of Indian cinema. He worked with Amitabh on Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish, Suhaag, Naseeb, Desh Premee, Coolie, Mard and Ganga Jamuna Saraswati; all but the last were box office successes. He was one of the directors who had a special working relationship with Amitabh Bachchan, the others being Yash Chopra, Prakash Mehra, Ramesh Sippy, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Of these, only Yash Chopra went on to make hits beyond the 1980s.
He often worked with the same actors in several different films:
Jeetendra in Dharam Veer (1977) after Bhai Ho To Aisa
Shatrughan Sinha in Naseeb after Bhai Ho To Aisa, Shararat and Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1973) and Rampur Ka Lakshman (1972)
Shashi Kapoor in Suhaag after Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1973)
Shammi Kapoor in Parvarish (1977) as a father figure after Bluffmaster (1963) and Budtameez (1966) and a cameo role in Desh Premee as Shamsher Singh
Randhir Kapoor in Chacha Bhatija (1977) after Rampur Ka Lakshman (1972).
Apart from Bachchan, Manmohan Desai worked with such leading male stars as Raj Kapoor in the 1960 film Chhalia, Shammi Kapoor in "Bluffmaster" (1963) and "Budtameez" (1966), Rajesh Khanna in Sachaa Jhutha (1970) and Roti (1974), Randhir Kapoor in Raampur Ka Lakshman (1972), Shashi Kapoor in Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Dharmendra in Dharam Veer (1977). 1977 was an exceptional year for him. All four of his films released that year were huge hits: Parvarish, Amar Akbar Anthony, Chacha Bhatija and Dharam Veer. The first two were with Amitabh, and the latter two were with Dharmendra.
Manmohan Desai worked with writers such as Salim–Javed, Prayag Raaj, K.K.Shukla, and Kader Khan, and lyricists such as Anand Bakshi, Sahir Ludhianvi, Qamar Jalalabadi, Gulshan Bawra, and Shailendra. Early in his career he worked with composers Rahul Dev Burman, Kalyanji Anandji, later with Laxmikant Pyarelal for many films. Laxmikant–Pyarelal and Manmohan Desai have worked for nine films, most of them produced and directed by Manmohan Desai, including Amar Akbar Anthony 1977, Dharam Veer 1977, Parvarish 1977, Chacha Bhatija 1977, Suhaag 1979, Naseeb 1981, Desh Premee 1982, and Coolie 1983.
