This blog reaches landmarks at regular intervals. I have divided this landmarks into two categories:-

Category one landmarks:- which are achieved as a result of posting articles. Example being, century of blog posts, thousands of blog posts, century post of artists, thousandth post of artists etc. As can be seen one needs to post one hundred articles for a century post to materialise and so on.

Category two landmarks:- These are landmarks that are not in our control and they are dependent on time and happen with time largely irrespective of blog post activities . For example, blog completing 100 days or 1000 days. Visitors reaching a certain number in the blog etc.

Two days ago (on 14 April 2026), the blog reached a category two landmark when 18 millionth visitor visited the blog. As mentioned earlier, this is a landmark that takes place on its own. It went largely unnoticed but for an alert regular who pointed it out to us on the night of 14 april 2026 that the blog visitors count had reached 18 millions.

‘The Killers’ (1969) with its alternative title ‘Ham Sab Qaatil Hain’ (1969) was produced by A V Mohan under the banner of Sangam Pictures and was directed by Maruti. The cast included Dara Singh, Ajit, Sheikh Mukhtar, Helen, Paul Sharma, Amar, Kundan, Bela Bose, S K Prem, Leela Chitnis, Maruti etc.

The surprise element in the film was the unusual role of Dara Singh as a secret agent, something like the role of Jeetendra in ‘Farz’ (1967). Probably, the success of ‘Farz’ (1967) may have inspired director, Maruti to develop the character of Dara Singh on that line. For the first time, I have watched Dara Singh in immaculate western attire and dancing with girls. But he is no ‘jumping jack’ like Jeetendra. Ajit had a double role in this film.

Mukesh and his Actors – 09

Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.

He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.
