Moreover he was music assistant for many films-ġ961 Chhaya (assistant music – as Kanu Ghose)ġ961 Mem-Didi (music assistant – as Kanu Gosh)ġ961 Kabuliwala (chief assistant to music director)ġ959 The River (assistant musical director)ġ957 Apradhi Kaun? (music assistant – as Kanu Ghose)ġ956 Jagte Raho (assistant musical director) The singers/Lyricists’ names do not pertain only to his films,i believe. Kanu Ghosh joined Doordashan and was with it for pretty long time presenting private songs sung by upcoming artistes. Today is an unfortunate coincidence, but in the days to come we would have nicer things to discuss.
You would find its link prominently at the top. I felt ‘Open House’ sounded more appropriate. Hans gave a concrete idea to create a separate link for such general discussion he also suggested some names, like Chaupal etc. SoY readers have wide-ranging interests, which shows in their comments on the blog. Such class act happens once in a lifetime, but I remember him in Mohra and some other films he always made impact with his distinct accent and dialogue delivery. There have been bad politicians since, but they had to be over the top, and they had to blow up the country, they had to kill and maim thousands with bombs or missiles or spurious drugs to be noticed, but none I remember as sharply as I do Rama Shetty, which fetched Sadashiv Amrapurkar Filmfare Award for the Best Supporting role, in his debut in Hindi films. He was the fulcrum of that great Govind Nihalani classic. There have been bad politicians before, but never one like Rama Shetty, whose courteous welcome with a sly smile would fill the honest Inspector (Om Puri) with helpless, silent rage. I loved the कुटिल मुस्कान of the creepy politician in Ardha Satya.
He had started responding to the treatment, but finally gave up the struggle, leaving this world at a relatively young age of 64. He has been on life support for a couple of weeks in a Mumbai hospital, from complications out of prolonged diabetes.
Sadashiv Amarpurkar was not lucky this time. It is eerie because a weak ago rumours of his death spread, prompting many sites to post their condolences. As I was about to inform the readers about the creation of this link, to cater for discussion on topics which may not fit anywhere else on the blog, in came the news of his passing away early this morning after a prolonged illness. This is not the kind of start I would have imagined for Open House.
