“Mogambo khush hua,” the booming menacing baritone in Shekhar Kapur’s Mr. India defines the career of the sinfully talented Amrish Puri. He was a one-man army, ploughing easily from Shyam Benegal’s classy and raw Nishant to the out-and-out potboilers that he did through the 1980s and '90s. “I just kept working and working. I had seen hard times. I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to make a living. Luckily, for me, there was no dearth of work. I could do offbeat films for free, and compensate by doing the commercial films. It was, according to me, a fair deal,” Puri told me. In his 30-year career as an actor, Puri did over 200 films. In his early years, most of the work he did was either quality-oriented work for the avant garde directors Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani or outright kitsch, where he used his powerful voice and screen presence to accentuate the cinematic definitions of evil. Puri’s truly fecund phase as Bollywood’s most dependable character-actor, or actor of character, began in 1992. In Benegal’s Nishant (1975), Puri played the eldest brother in a family of zaalim (cruel) zamindars who abduct and rape a schoolteacher’s wife. Puri struck a note of immediate and everlasting terror in viewers’ hearts. Though the film had other terrific actors, it was Puri who dominated the show in every way possible. The role had apparently been written for the Bengali actor Utpal Dutt, who excelled at playing obdurate disciplinarians. Puri too went on to make a great impr...

No amounts of words and condolence can ever fill the void created by a person's absence. And the entire nation had felt the same pain when in 2005, we had gotten the sudden news of Amrish ji's demise. The late legendary actor, Amrish Puri hadmade us shiver with his voice and on-screen presence. (Recommend Read: For those who don't know, Amrish jihad shared an epic love with his wife,Urmila Diveker. While many of us have seen him on the big screen as the villain, not many know about his gentle side and his 'happily ever after'with wife,Urmila Diveker, until death made them apart. He is not with us today, but his roles and his perfect fatherlyvoice still echos in the heart of the entire '90s generation. On the occasion of Amrish ji's death anniversary, we got hold of a throwback interview of his son, Rajeev Puri with the Filmfare magazine. Rajeev had opened up on his father's last days and how he was diagnosed with amyelodysplastic syndrome. He had shared that during the shoot of Guddu Dhanoa’s Jaal The Trap (2003) in Himachal Pradesh, Amrish jihad met with an accident there. He had suffered serious injuries on his face and eye. He had lost blood and consequently had to undergo blood transfusions. During that time,something had gone wrong there because of which in the coming years he had developed a blood disorder (myelodysplastic syndrome). (Also Read: Isha...
