Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
Capable of being fired in plain and high-altitude areas, it has day-and-night capability and two-way data link to support post-launch target, aim-point update.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
One must appreciate both of them instead of taking sides. The world has always had times when two or more personalaties vie for the top honour whether in sport or otherwise .In tennis you have Federer vs Nadal same in soccer you have Messi vs Ronaldo in cricket you had Sachin vs Lara today you have Smith vs Kohli let us appreciate the wondeful talent we have experienced and enjoy all thier performances
The role of Rajesh Khanna in Namak Haram was more difficult to play . Amitabh’s role was easier , involving shouting and yelling. There can be no comparison between the 2 . Rajesh Khanna was a much greater actor. He had seen such stardom and had carried 10’s of movies as a solo star to be super hits that after 5-6 years of hysteria , some audiences wanted a change . Hence some of his movies were doing average business, after these hysterical years , which were considered flops since every movie was expected to be a platinum jubilee – hence he was considered finished . But after 2-3 years of fewer hits he came back with still big hits. The kind of stardom seen by Rajesh Khanna , has never been seen before or since . Actually Amitabh was going back after his initial flops , but after sharing screen space with Rajesh in Anand got noticed . The film industry was in general jealous with RK as he was such a big star and no one could control him. One has to have lived in that era to understand .
Rajesh Khanna is the most versatile and the greatest actor in Indian Cinema. Despite his heartthrob status, he did a lot of variety roles whereas Amitabh has done tailor- made roles which were written for him by script writers keeping his limited acting talent in mind.. either angry young man or comedy. He was good at delivering dialogues in raised voice so may be he was appreciated but he lacked versatility.
There is only one superstar in this millennium and that’s Rajesh khanna. The title superstar was coined for him only because of his unprecedented stardom! According to Bachchan, the title superstar shall always be Rajesh Khanna’s and no others’ because it is impossible to describe or understand his phenomena! It was something never witnessed before him or after! Salim Khan also quoted the same sometime ago. Khanna’s expressions, dialogue delivery in warm and silky soft voice, body language – everything was excellent! The Anand dialogue where he says” tujhe kya ashirwad doon bahen, yeh bhi to nahin keh sakta meri umar tujhe lag jaye” – no matter how many times I watch, it never failed to make my eyes teary!
Anand, Khamoshi,, Bawarchi , Dushman., Do Raaste, Amar Prem.. Aavishkar…there are so many incredible and unforgettable films he has done and it’s just sheer joy to watch his beautiful performances!
Hindi cinema is blessed to have star in its orbit like Rajesh Khanna! There shall never be another like him!
We miss one point here. The character played by Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh demanded a certain type of acting and both did justice to the character they played. Normally in films people tend to appreciate loud acting and try to undermine underplay. Rajesh Khanna was victim of underplay. The same Rajesh Khanna outshines Shammi Kapoor in Andaz even as he plays a role of special appearance. Shammiji was no less an actor but his role was softer whereas Rajesh’s role was more dramatic and vibrant. There are many such examples.
absolutely true RajeshKhanna as an actor was 2nd to none perhaps the best in emotional scenes . The writer here has gone well overboard stating Amitab Bachchan’s acting .RajeshKhanna in Namak Haram was brilliant & restrained. The more no of times one watches this particular film the more evident is RajeshKhanna’s class
I remember debating this film adnauseum with college mates then. Dont forget Amtabh was truly a junior partner to kaka. Rajesh khanna had almost 30 solo jubilee hits already while Amit had one. Ofcourse there was great buzz about him but track record wise at that time Navin Nischol was better. Considering all this, Kaka deserves immense praise for sharing the screen equitably with him. Both performed superbly but all the nuances are in Kaka’s performance. Every feature of his personality from playfulness to pathos plays out in one scene or the other while Amit as Vijay says – shouts,screams and smoulders and then repeats and then repeats. But he does it well , ofcourse. Its a truly great adaptation. One other film these two should have done is Khudgarz.
Rajesh’s was a superb sohisticated performance modelled on Richard Burton’s in Beckett. Amit was relatively stilll raw and definitely the junior partner and stuck to his patented scream and shout and smoulder formula that he maintained from Zanjeer to Jaadugar. He performed with great commitment and class but it was similar to all his other roles thereafter. Kaka was the god like king of Bollywood then and he underplayed magnificently. Alas , the mass audience in India only considers grandstanding as one upmanship! Neither Kaka nor Amit were trying to do that . They were both faithful to the original material. Please see an insightful writeup on this film by anaad22 by googling Namak haraam in Rajesh khanna forum at Topix.net.. Two great actors directed by a great director from a great script . I dont think they both had anything against each other. Like kamal and rajini they became too commercially big to fit in one film after NH. Thats all.

Rajesh has a softer role and Amit had the louder role. . Rajesh role was multi dimensional and Amit’s was the usual angry young man. Could the roles have been reversed ? Maybe in kakas case but not so for Amit. So don’t applaud loudness for great oneupman ship in acting.
It was a landmark movie with a subtle message on capitalism.socialism…
The interaction between Vicky and Somu/Chander are good but the interaction between Vicky and his father is super….
Even the character of Simi Garewal also leaves a message on capitalism…

No doubt, Rajesh khanna in leading role, but Amitabh bachchan stole the entire film that is why he is the greatest superstar of Indian cinema.
At the premier show, Rajesh Khanna commented, ” aaj ek aur superstar paida ho gaya”. That says it all! Amitabh, the tehspian was finding his feet.
Indeed mr Sunil,time has proven again and again that AB is incomparable to anyone.
Amitabh bachan can never be compared to rajesh khanna. Mr khannas personality and charisma is incomparable.
It was a landmark movie with a subtle message on capitalism.socialism…
