Exhibition of rare pictures, which started at Doon library and Research Centre on May 24 to mark 100 years journey of Hindi Cinema, concluded on Monday.
Tere Mere Sapne, directed by Vijay Anand was screened on the last day.
DlRC research staff member Manoj Panjani arranged the rare pictures of Bollywood technicians and men behind the screen for the exhibition that presented an overview of 100 years journey of Hindi Cinema in a nutshell.
Panjani started collecting the pictures in 1999 and even travelled to Mumbai where he searched heaps of junks to find the pictures. Panjani is working to bring forth the contribution of men who work behind the scenes and played a great role in success of Bollywood. “Technicians, make-up men, art directors, directors, assistant directors, and producers work hard to make a movie. By arranging the exhibition, I apprised, at least, few people of the role played by men behind the screen.”He claimed that the rare pictures added to the knowledge
of people about Bollywood, actors and directors without whom Bollywood could not have developed.
