Pran On Amazon India Best Sellers List

The eponymous ‘bad man’ of Hindi cinema has stirred up the Indian book market, especially Amazon.in within 24 hrs of his passing away. A book titled after the late actor is in the Amazon.in best sellers list as of now rivaling the actor who  now tops in  Google.com's Indian Hot Trends list.

This book is titled "...and Pran A Biography" in a very dramatic way, as Pran's name would appear in the casting of a film in which he acted. This biography is authored by Bunny Reuben, a film journalist  of very high repute. Mr. Reuben also has few more furs in his writing cap- biographies of the great  Mehboob Khan, another legend and of ever great Dilip Kumar, the star legend.

The veteran writer who took to film journalism in late 1940, wrote feature articles for Filmfare, Star & Style, and the Indian Express group. In 1975, he founded and edited Cine Blitz. It's told about Bunny Reuben that he has raised Indian film journalism to the level of literature.

This book on Pran comes from a master about another.

The master portrayed his roles with so much dexterity that for over a span of 30 years after  Independence, no male child (almost) was named after his name. Such was the maliciousness attached with  his name, least to say about his characters. Even after he switched over to character roles in film  "Upkar" with Manoj Kumar, his evil aura hardly faded.

Spanning a career of 60 years in films with almost 400 films to his credit, the masters life is the  history of Indian Hindi cinema for half a century. This biography not only portrays the evil man on  screen, but also the intimate portrait of the lesser known man behind the image. This soft aspect of  Pran has evaded most of all as they hated to know anything about the villain.

This book can be found in Amazon's India store, online. The book is priced at Rs. 399.00
