Bharat Bhushan Hot Photos Wallpapers Videos Biography 2011
Bharat Bhushan was born in Aligarh in 1920. He starred in Baiju Bawra, Barsaat Ki Raat, Umrao Jaan and Pyar Ka Mausam, among others. He worked as an actor. He died in Mumbai on October 10th 1992 aged 7 or 8 years old.
Bharat Bhushan may have never been a swashbuckling hero, but he was just right as the sensitive, suffering poet-musician in several hit musicals in the fifties and sixties.

It is difficult to imagine any other actor in Bhushan roles (Baiju Bawra,Mirza Ghalib, Basant Bahar, Kavi Kalidas, Barsaat Ki Raat and Sangeet Samraat Tansen), where he portrayed an artiste who was at odds with a cruel world but still retained a song on his lips.

Bhushan's films were often extravagant tragedies. Unfortunately, his offscreen life also underwent many upheavals wherein he lost his wife, stardom and faced diminishing fame and fortune.

Stardom knocked on Bharat Bhushan's door only after he had struggled for over a decade. He began his career in his early twenties, with a supporting role in the controversial Chitralekha (1941). But director Kidar Sharma and heroine Mehtab got most of the attention for the film. Bhushan had to wait till the end of the decade for Sharma's Suhaag Raat (1948) to pull his career out of the basement.

After the young and genial Bhushan had successfully played the bone of contention between two strong women, Geeta Bali and Begum Para, in Suhaag Raat, he was signed for several medium-budget films. The most notable of these were Devendra Goel's directorial debut Aankhen (1950), where Bhushan plays a martyr and sacrifices his love for Nalini Jaywant when he realises his brother is also in love with her; and Bimal Roy's first Bombay Talkies film, Maa (1952).

At this stage, veteran filmmaker Vijay Bhatt was casting for his ambitious project, Baiju Bawra (1952). Composer Naushad shrugged off star names like Dilip Kumar and Nargis and insisted on relative newcomers.

Baiju Bawra became a golden jubilee hit and established two new stars: Meena Kumari and Bharat Bhushan. It crystallised Bhushan's image as an actor of 'note.' In Baiju Bawra, Bhushan played a gifted but obsessed musician propelled by twin compulsions -- a desire to extract revenge on court musician Tansen, which he achieves through his music and a deep love for his village sweetheart Gauri.

In an age of heroes with slicked back hair, Bhushan's unruly mop and simple demeanour caught the attention of women in the audience; his ability to convey anguish went down well with the masses.

Bhushan received much help from Naushad's classical raga-based artistry and Mohammad Rafi's vocals as he became the screen face of evergreen numbers like O duniya ke rakhwale, Man tadpat Hari darshan ko aaj and Tu Ganga ki mauj.

Riding the crest of success, the star-director team of Baiju Bawra collaborated once again for Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu(1953), for which Bhushan bagged the Filmfare Best Actor Award.
