Film Ladies: The Kapoors: Shammi!

At Filmi Ladies Podcast, Pitu Sultan and the Gutter’s own Beth Watkins continue their look at the Kapoor film dynasty with an episode devoted to Shammi Kapoor: “We discuss the second son of Prithviraj Kapoor–Shammi, a giant superstar who brought flamboyance, giddy delight and uninhibited, joyous dancing to Hindi cinema. His career can be divided into two phases–his ‘hero’ phase and his supporting actor phase where he played dad/cop/uncle or extremely skilled plastic surgeon. We discuss Mem Sahib (1956), Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957), Brahmachari (1968), and Bundal Baaz (1976).”
