Had Dev Anand not done this exactly 54 years ago, there would have been neither “Mogambo” nor “Ashraf Ali”.

The history of Bollywood has a lot to offer. There are a lot of things in it that if you look closely you realize: Yes, if that hadn’t happened, how could it have happened? If you don’t understand the meaning, we will tell you a similar story after which you will understand the meaning correctly.

This story happened exactly 54 years ago when Dev Anand’s film Prem Pujari released in theaters. This film also introduced a new face in Bollywood. Who later became a villain like no one else could ever become? We are talking about the scary villain “Mogambo” from Hindi films. This is what Amrish Puri means.

Dev Anand’s film Prem Pujari was released on January 28, 1970. The special thing about this film was that Dev Anand had done the work of director, actor and writer of this film. Amrish Puri’s brother Madan Puri also worked in this film. According to IMDB, there was a rift in Dev Anand and Madan Puri’s friendship during the film itself. This was because Madan Puri also wanted to work in another film called Nanha Farishta. He asked Dev for five days’ leave so that he could sign the film. But Dev Anand rejected him and that was the reason why discontent arose between the two.

The songs of this film were good. The story of the film was also good. The film is also counted among the good films. But those aren’t the only special features that make the film something special. What made the film special was the presence of Amrish Puri in this film. Yes, this is the same film in which Amrish Puri was first seen. Hindi cinema and its audience will always be grateful to the fact that Dev Anand was the first to give Amrish Puri a break in films. However, Amrish Puri didn’t play any special role in this film. He was only seen in a small role. But from here his path to Bollywood opened up. After that, the film Hum Paanch came to his mind. And then a flood of films began. This ranged from Mr. India’s Mogambo to Gadar’s Ashraf Ali and beyond.

This film was about the India-China war in the 1960s. The mix of patriotism and espionage was well shown in this film. However, the film failed to earn good revenue at that time. However, this film is special for every Hindi cinema fan because if this film had not been made, we might not have been able to see the Mogambo that we saw.
