\"Nutan<\/a>

Nutan essayed the role of Kalyani in Bimal Roy’s Bandini<\/p><\/div>\n

A picture of grace and dignity.<\/p>\n

A persona of pleasing compassion with the warmest smile straight from the heart.<\/p>\n

An impish beauty who could readily play pranks.<\/p>\n

An indignant, deprived girl who fights it out with society on her own.<\/p>\n

A quiet, loving, affectionate woman who has the courage to brave the worst for others and craves for only love and respect.<\/p>\n

A lonely heart \u2013 with all her pain kept well-covered and never shared.<\/p>\n

Which song of Nutan do I pick? An amazing repertoire with the widest variety of roles \u2013 she institutionalized the deglamorised role in a way no other contemporary actress could.<\/p>\n

Shorn of the regular layers of pancake, she still looked the most pleasing and comforting picture of compassion. The distributors did not like the idea of the heroine in plain khadi clothes in Bandini but can you imagine the quiet, courageous Kalyani in chiffon running to be with her ailing love? Nutan never gave these regular razzmatazz of Hindi films more importance than her role deserved. And that made her rise above the ordinary.<\/p>\n

Well, Nutan\u00a0amazed me with every role she did \u2013 she lived the character, spontaneous, natural, unaffected. So you watch Kalyani and Sujata and Aarti Sohanlal (Anari) not Nutan. So here’s a short list of some of her songs and a couple of scenes – some of the songs she lip synched, some were used in the background. Either way she emoted them as no other.<\/p>\n
