Taking a lesson from the fantastically bad response to the previous quiz (some 5 people participated), I have decided to do a couple more!
Now, the idea is to keep coming up with answers will people will either be able to guess or be able to remember from one fun Sunday afternoon screening on Zee Cinema. Either way, the answer should have a surprise value.
So, here is my second quiz instalment - 12 questions, answers to most of which can be found in a book on Bollywood to be released next year (ahem).
So, what are you waiting for? Let's go!
Moving house over the weekend. Answers likely to be on Monday!
ANSWERS:
1. Amitabh Bachchan was the first winner of the Raj Kapoor Award for Lifetime Achievement - which was handed over to him by another 'lifetime achiever' - Sunil Gavaskar.
2. Sadgati was the film specially made for the inauguration, though Shatranj Ke Khiladi was also shown on the same day.
3. I meant, Hindi film and without Googling. Since Don 2 is yet to release, the last film to give joint credits to Salim-Javed is still - quite tragically - Ramgopal Verma ki Aag (which rhymes with Bhaag DK Bose Bhaag).
Mr India, indeed, is the last film they wrote together but not the last they got credits for (1/2 points for this).
4. The star-studded film is Mehmood-directed Kunwara Baap. Dharmendra and Hema Malini also appear in the film (among the many others, whom I have probably forgotten).
5. Shyam Benegal's Trikaal had a slinky Remo as a wedding singer in the Portugese mansion. Do you remember who his singing partner was?
6. Simplest of the lot... Veeru's would-be wife is also Sheru's would-be mother.
7. Spice 6.
8. Preeti Sabharwal.
9. Ritwik Ghatak.
10. Bheema, it is. Where did Bhim Singh come from, IMDb?
11. Nobody got this... Javed Jaffrey was the voice behind the rubber-body.
12. They are all books written by Amitabh Bachchan. Does anybody know the film in which AB wrote the book 'Manzil'?
SCORES:
Khalil Sawant - 1
Rahul - 3.5 (0.5 for not remembering Preeti Sabharwal's name but describing her)
Kunal Mistry - 1
Abhishek Mukherjee - 9
Anonymous - 1
Amit - 5.5 (0.5 points docked for saying AB wrote a book in each film. He didn't write one in Manzil!)
Nilendu - 2.5 (does spectacularly badly and is recommended that he buys 10 copies of the book he almost co-wrote!)
