Shakti Samanta speaks about his film 'Amar-Prem'
Shakti Samanta speaks about his film 'Amar-Prem'. He says, "I first read that novel this is not a very big novel it is a long story you can say then somebody told me that picture was made two-three years before in Bengali I saw that Bengali version and i liked it and I thought it is a different type of thing. Amar Prem doesn't mean that everybody should meet the separation the last portion of that film that story was so beautiful and I said yes let me make it so we tried and fortunately when I narrated the story to Rajesh Khanna. Sharmila of course, she didn't get up from my office that I will do this role I said ok then I told Rajesh Khanna Russian heard the story and said I will definitely work I said Kaka you don't have any dates he said how many dates you want I said I want every day where Sharmila is working but I can do one thing you are shooting up to only 6:30 after that you are not shooting so I'll take all your dates from 6:30 onwards he agreed."

Wat a Director... Wat a Personality... Innocent, Down to Earth, Humble... Yet an Institution in Itself !!!
Aradhana & Amar Prem are two master pieces....
Very well said by Shaktida,really, nobody except Rajesh Khanna could characterize father-son double role in Aradhana and in 80s Dard, really he was a most brrilliant acto, perfectionist by nature b.y God gifted talent. His wise decision to choose Khanna for Aradhana after 6/7 yrs. waiting was really very fruitful and a golden gift for Indain cine world called The Original Super Star

Sanjeev, the Interviewer's voice is inaudible. She made the mistake of not keeping the MIke near her Mouth.
Amar-prem is brilliant story, craftsmanship. Thinking about the climax scene with Shamila-Tagore (felt like my-mother), Rajesh-Khanna, Vinod-Mehra brings tears. It is one of my favorite classic besides Gurudutt's 'Shaheb Bibi aur Ghulam'.
An 'iconic' movie,brings tears to one's eyes whenever one watches it.2 greats Sharmila nd Rajesh ji. Shakti da's movies r always enjoyable nd good.
Thanks for the gift called kaka to the bollywood.
I think personally that the way Kishorekumar sang those songs made all the success
Today (29/12/23) on the birthday of Late Rajesh Khanna I watched _Amar Prem_ for the first time! It’s a masterpiece when it comes to depiction of human relationships, frailties & compassion! Songs are very meaningful and soulful! They've आत्मीयता & मधुरता - which were so common in that Golden era of Indian film music.
Shakti da ur great maker of clssics . Shakti khanna Brmans n Kisshore adynamic fusion Those people worked n sacrificed for the art n the nation.
Shakti Samant Ji top most great director of hindi film industry his movies like Aradhana, Kati Patang, Amar Prem, Anurodh are my all time favourite movies
Great director..he is tremendous sense of music..his movies have amazing songs..
Very nice person - shakti da . I had a pleasant meeting and talk with him about his movies in a Air travel from Calcutta to Bombay . Very pleasant natured person .
Shakti Samanta was a director who presented human relations in the most emotional way.his films used to be based on excellent stories.he presented best of "Bengal" in Hindi films. Rajesh Khanna and Shakti Samanta-has remained a beautiful combination in the history of Hindi films.Aradhana,Kati Patang,Amar Prem,Anuraag,Ajnabee,Anurodh, Mehbooba,Awaaz,Alag Alag.......The combination flourished and gave us some beautiful films with superb music.Shakti Samanta also worked with Ashok Kumar, Shammi Kapoor,Amitabh Bachchan,Uttam Kumar,Vinod Mehra and Mithun Chakraborty among others.he gave substantial characters to heroines and was one of the very few filmmakers in whose films,heroines had stellar roles than heroes.Shakti Samanta also served as Chairman of Film Censor Board. Long live Shakti Da.
Dada, many many thanks for the creation of classic movies, music, songs,picturization and great artists. Hats off, sir!
Shakti samantha, an unparalleled director,a genius film maker
MANY YRS AGO WHEN I JUST ENTERED COLLEGE HAD MET SHAKTIDA NEAR MY HOUSE IN BANDRA IN A DURGA PUJA IN WHICH HE WAS THE MAIN ORGANISER INSPITE OF BEING HUGELY SUCCESSFUL HE WAS VERY HUMBLE AND CHILLED OUT HE WAS HAVING HIS DRINK WITH SOME BENGALI FILM FOLKS LATER MY FRIENDS AND I INVITED HIM FOR A TALK SHOW IN OUR COLLEGE HE VERY KINDLY ACCEPETED THE INVITATAION

Rajesh Khanna Jee is the Best Actor ever in the History of Indian Movie!!
The Best of Best Director in the Hindi Cinema. His all movies are super hit. His last directed movie 'The Great Gambler' was superheat movie. He made Amitabh further hit. That movie takes you on a world tour ride in just Rs.50 and in my time it was Rs.3.50. He's a champion in making movie on the foreign location.
All time my favorite super star Rajesh khanna ji I miss you 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜
Shakti Samanta presented his films in such a sober but entertaing manner with such wonderful storylines. His films varied from.action to suspense to romantic family dramas he was equally successful. Equally wonderful was the music of his films.
The end portion of amar prem brings tears to our eyes...what a movie...!
All praise regards for your master piece works. Love you shakti pada. Thanks a lot. Burman da n you made a beautiful combination produced finest songs. All time great.
These film makers were great film makers
True ARTIST. SHAKTI DA..N LOVER OF TRUE ARTISTS. TOO..GREAT..SALUTE U Sir
Nice to hear Shakti Da talk about S D Burman from 7.30 to 10.00. He forgot to mention Insaan Jaag Utha 1959 which also had S D Burman's music.
One of my all time favourite movies.

This is a very valuable video recording of the great Shakti Samantha. But the voice of the Interviewer is not audible. Hence, as viewers, we are unable to understand the context of what SS is saying. Can you not put in text form like sub-title, the question, as she is speaking?

What a great man he was besides being one of the greatest film makers. His contribution towards music has been tremendous. His list of hits is never ending....Jaali note, Singapore, Howrah Bridge, Kashmir ki Kali, Saawan ki ghata, An evening in Paris, Aaradhana, Kati Patang, Amar Prem, Anuraag, Ajanabee, Anurodh, Mehbooba, Balika Bodhu, The great gambler, Barsaat ki ek raat, Amanush, Aamne Saamne, Main Aawara hoon, Palay Khan, Aakhri Baazi, Geetanjali,....... Even a few months before his demise, I recall he was engrossed in reading a novel in Bengali and was contemplating making it in both Hindi and Bengali. I had the great fortune of spending a lot of time with him right from my childhood discussing and analysing cinema and music. Thanx to my Father who distributed a few of his films, our families bonded well. He passed away on the 11th of April 2009 but he still lives amongst us through his films. May HIS soul rest in peace forever and his onward journey be eternally blissful.
