Remembering Nutan on her 85th birth anniversary
The Hindu
Whether sombre or sparkling, Nutan was a joy to watch on screen
Some scenes remain etched in memory. For instance, in the 1959 film Anari, Raj Kapoor looks at Nutan and says, “Ek tasveer, ek tasveer jo main barson se banaana chahta hoon, aaj ankhon ke saamne aakar khadi ho gayi” (a picture that I had been wanting to make for many years today stands before my eyes). It was a simple shot, but Nutan’s expression made it unique. Though she had already worked in hit films like the award-winning Seema, Paying Guest and Dilli Ka Thug, Anari gave her career a further fillip. Once again her grace, simplicity and natural beauty charmed filmgoers, while her acting skills and performance in Sujata, Bandini and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki wowed the critics.More Related News
