Today I am Going to Pen an another Interesting Person from Bolly Wood Who is not only a Actor,Producer,Writer Editor and Director is None other then Late.Vijay Anand ,Brother of Stalwart Devanand.All the Navketan Banner Films he will be the Director..Few Versatile Directors created a Big Impact ,in those days and Vijay Anand is one is not a Exagerated one.He has Directed Couple of Films, among those ,Unfor gettable Movies for me are Guide,Jewel Thief,Johnny Meranam,Teremere sapne,and TesriManzil is worth to be mentioned here. Nav ketan had a Talented team of Technicians including Cinemotographers Ratra and Falimistry is important.Music ,and Photography speaks in his creations.As a actor he proved his worth in Kora kagazalong with Mrs.Jaya Bachan.Writer R.KNarayanan’s story was filmed as Guide and Stalwarts Devanand and waheeda Rehman played very nicely.Even though Guide got Awards for Best Direction and Dialoques from Film Fare ,commercially was not successful.He has created a New Era in Songs ,and picturaisation with Genius S.D.Burman.Teesri manzil another wonderful movie acted with Shammikapoor and Asha Parekh with hit songs By R.D. Burman if a remember correct.That was the first out side Navketan Banner Vijay Directed for T.V.Films Nasir Hussain.The Film was a Big hit in those days with Shammy kapoor’s Dance and Song still I remember..Vyjayanthimala,Mumtaz.Late Premnath and Pran acted in his Movies.He has also served in Central Board of Film Certification for a Short Period.Affectanately called Goldie from Film Fraternity ,Charming,Soft Spoken Vijay Anand is no more with us.But His Movies and Mesmarising Songs still ringing in Bolly Wood Fans Ears is True.

Some personal details, gathered from old film magazines, about this path-breaking director are that he was a follower of Osho Rajneesh. He married his own niece ignoring opposition from his entire family because they believed it was nothing short of incestuous. Rajput was amongst his last films a collossal flop. Also I am not too sure that Teesri Manzil is a Vijay Anand film.
Some of his successful movies as director are Johny Mera Naam (1970), Jewel Thief (1967), Teesri Manzil (1966), Kala Bazar (1960), Ram Balram, Rajput. Teesri Manzil, which he made for producer Nasir Hussain, was his first non-Navketan film as a director. This was followed by Tere Ghar Ke Saamne (1963), Tere Mere Sapne (1971) and Guide (1965). Guide, starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman is Vijay Anand's most critically acclaimed movie. It is based on R.K. Narayan's novel The Guide. Navketan attempted an international release of a remake of Guide without much success.
Vijay Anand is known for his stylish song picturization, like `O Haseena' (Teesri Manzil), `Kaaton Se Keech' (Guide) and `Honthon Mein Aisi Baat' numbers (Jewel Thief) [3]
As an actor, his most memorable roles
The only Out side Picture Vijay anand directed was Teesri manzil,of TV.Film NasirHussain,Uncle of Aamirkhan.
