Chandra Barot, original ‘Don' director, passes away at 86
Mumbai: Film director Chandra Barot , best known for the blockbuster classic, Don (1978), which prompted multiple remakes in southern languages and spawned a series of sequels decades later, passed away due to medical complications at Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra (east) on Sunday. He was 86. "My husband was suffering from pulmonary fibrosis for the past seven years. He died due to a cardiac arrest at 6.30 am,'' his wife Deepa Barot told TOI. Barot also directed the Bengali superhit, 'Ashrita' (1990), starring Mithu Mukherjee. Barot's family lived in Tanzania, but was forced to come back to India following racial conflicts in the East African country in the 1960s. His sister, Kamal Barot, was a playback singer in Bollywood. He assisted Bollywood biggie Manoj Kumar in films such as 'Purab Aur Pachhim', 'Shor' and 'Roti Kapada Aur Makaan'. The making of the original 'Don' is a legendary Bollywood tale. Barot's cinematographer-producer friend, Nariman Irani, was reeling under a debt of nearly Rs 12 lakh after his first film as producer, 'Zindagi Zindagi', had flopped. Barot offered to help. He was friendly with Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman having worked with them in 'Roti Kapada Aur Makaan'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo They all decided to work in 'Don' to help Irani. Tragically, Irani passed away in 1977, before Don could hit the screen. Amitabh Bachchan, who won the Best Actor Filmfare award, dedicated the award to Irani and his wife. In the 1970s, 'Don' was an unusual title for Hindi films. Barot's mentor, Manoj Kumar, had asked him with a quizzical tone if he was making some film called ``Down''! Barot explained that it was a Spanish word `Don' which actually meant `gentleman'. Kumar understood and suggested that the pacy second-half needed a song. The advice led to the birth of the chartbuster, 'Khai ke paan Benaraswala.' Don, which celebrated platinum jubilee, was remade in Tamil as Billa (1980) with Rajinikanth as hero. A year earlier, NT Rama Rao was the lead in Yugandhar, the film's Telugu version. In Malayalam, the film was remade as Shobharaj (1986) with Mohan Lal in lead. Later director Farhan Akhtar reinterpreted the movie in Don: The Chase Begins Again (2006) and Don 2: The Chase Continues. Several Bollywood personalities such as Farhan and Kunal Kohli mourned his passing on social media. "Saddened to learn that the director of the OG Don is no more. RIP Chandra Barot-ji. Deepest condolences to the family,'' posted Farhan. On a rainy Sunday, Barot's last rites were carried out at the Kherwadi based Hindu crematorium in Bandra (east). It was a low-key affair attended by his family members and some relatives. As the final rites took place, one could not help but recall a Barot remark he made years ago: "I will be remembered as the man who made Don".

‘Hello Meghalaya' & IFTI join hands to nurture emerging filmmakers
Shillong: The Indian Film and Television Institute (IFTI), Arunachal Pradesh, film exchange programme, held in collaboration with 'Hello Meghalaya', the state-owned over-the-top (OTT) platform, concluded its three-week journey here Saturday, celebrating storytelling, regional culture, and creative exchange. The event brought together 30 emerging filmmakers from across India and Meghalaya, supported by the state govt. "As part of its growing commitment to foster local talent, Meghalaya's OTT platform 'Hello Meghalaya' has not only amplified regional content but also created real-world opportunities through programmes like this exchange. The platform, launched just a year ago, has already become a transformative space for filmmakers, artists, and creators from Meghalaya," an IFTI statement said. "Designed by the screenplay department of IFTI, Arunachal Pradesh, the programme paired IFTI students with participants from Meghalaya. Divided into mixed groups, the teams worked collaboratively to develop, shoot, and edit short fiction films that draw from the region's rich soundscapes, folklore, and natural environment," the statement said. Mentored by acclaimed filmmakers such as Pradip Kurbah, Dominic Sangma, Jules Basaiawmoit and Kitkupar Shanpliang, each group produced a 5-7 minute film under the theme 'Stories in the Mist: Music, Myths and Soundscapes of Shillong'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo Cyril V Diengdoh, executive director of The Meghalayan Age Ltd, expressed admiration for the quality and depth of the films produced during the exchange, saying it was hard to believe they were made in just two days. "He noted how beautifully the visuals captured the essence of Meghalaya, its rains, natural textures, and music, and reflected on how cinema can powerfully bring out the soul of a beautiful place like Meghalaya," the IFTI said. Diengdoh lauded the collaboration between IFTI and 'Hello Meghalaya', describing it as a "meaningful convergence of vision, sincerity, and dedication" to the craft of filmmaking and spoke of the growing creative ecosystem being nurtured in the state, one that not only empowers artists but contributes to a larger creative economy. Filmmaker Dominic Sangma said through this initiative, the Govt of Meghalaya aims to build an "ecosystem of creativity, collaboration, and diversity". Launched on July 11, 2024, 'Hello Meghalaya' is the state-owned OTT platform dedicated to celebrating the region's vibrant culture, stories, and talent.
