Tribute 793.

Tribute 793 Paying homage to the multi-talented Manoj Kumar, a stalwart in the Indian Bolly wood film industry who, over four and a half decades, left an indelible mark as an actor, producer, and director. Renowned for his patriotic films infused with moral depth and action, Kumar collaborated with top actors like late Pran, Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, Prem Chopra, and Jaya Bachchan. Some of his memorable works include "Upkaar," "Purab aur Paschim," "Dus Numbri," "Shor," and "Roti Kapda Aur Makan," the latter two earning him directional awards. His films featured acclaimed cinematography by Reddy and music by Kalyanji Anandji and Laxmikant Pyarelal. Kumar's simplicity and soft-spoken demeanor endeared him to the film fraternity. Today, I am delighted to honor this cinematic luminary in my blog. Regards, K. Ragavan, 20-11-23. Until we meet again next week
