Hrishida, RIP

Hrishikesh Mukherjee (1922-2006). RIP

Thank you Hrishida.

For Anand
For Chupke Chupke
For Abhimaan
For Gol Maal
For....
For....

For leaving a mark in Hindi Film Cinema that can never be matched by anyone. And thank God for that.

For proving the truth in the adage that old is indeed gold.

For celebrating the brilliance of simplicity. Yes, life is lived in those utterly ordinary moments, and not in Hindi movies. Thank you for bridging that gap.

For the laughs, for those tears. They came from our hearts, as did your movies from yours.

For each moment of your movies that we will keep enjoying on TV, till they keep showing them.

For each of those moments will remind us of the joy that a movie can be.

Go well, sir. You will be missed.


PS - do read Oz's post here, where's he also linked to his superb write-up on Hrishida's masterpieces. Oz - you rock.
