    (Image: Ashok Kumar with Nutan) October 13. It was the 98th birth anniversary of Ashok Kumar on Tuesday. No one noticed. His family said, without an element of surprise, “What did you expect?

    B.R.Chopra- A Legend Ahead of his time.
    My first B.R.Chopra movie was Dhund. I was just a kid of 12 that time, when i saw it on video. Honestly i had no clue about the movie, except the fact that it starred Zeenat Aman, on whom i was having a major crush( matter of fact I still do).
