Tribute to Director VijayAnand 780. Today I am Going to Pen an another Interesting personality from BollyWood Who is not only an 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 Exaggerated one.He has Directed Couple of Films, among those ,Unforgettable 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 Cinematographers Ratra and Falimistry is important.Music ,and Photography speaks in his creations.As a actor he proved his worth in Kora kagaz along with Mrs.Jaya Bachan.Writer RK Narayan's story was filmed as Guide and Stalwarts Devanand and waheeda Rehman played very nicely.Even though Guide got Awards for Best Direction and Dialogues 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 Shammi 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.Affectionately 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.
