The first Showman Himself A Parsi Wife Muslim and Making Films in The Glory of Hindu Culture
#SohrabModi #SohrabModiBiography #DramaSeriesIndian
Sohrab Merwanji Modi was born on 2 November 1897 in Bombay. After finishing school, he became a traveling exhibitor in Gwalior with his brother Keki Modi. At 16 he used to project films in Gwalior's Town Hall and at 26 set up his Arya Subhodh Theatrical Company.
Sohrab began as a Parsi theatre actor with some experience in silent films. He earned quite a reputation as a Shakespearean actor, traveling throughout India with his brother's theatrical company and enjoying the tremendous sense of fulfillment every time the curtain came down and the audience applauded. However, with the advent of sound film in 1931, the theatre was declining. To rescue this dying art, Modi set up the Stage Film Company in 1935. His first two films were filmed versions of plays. Khoon Ka Khoon (1935) was an adaptation of Hamlet and marked Naseem Bano's acting debut. The second, Said-e-Havas (1936) was based on Shakespeare's King John. Both films failed at the box office.[2]
Personal life
Sohrab Modi was born into a Parsi family on 2 November 1897. His father was an Indian civil servant. He spent his childhood in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh where he developed a liking for Hindi and Urdu languages.[4]
Sohrab Modi was married to Mehtab Modi,[2] an actress born into an aristocratic Muslim family from Gujarat, who began her career in his movie Parakh (1944). They married on her birthday on 28 April 1946. They had a son, Mehelli, from this marriage[5] who settled in the UK in 1967, where he would later found the British arthouse DVD label Second Run.[6] Mehtab had a son, Ismail from her first marriage, who lived with them.[5][4]
There is an incident about Sohrab Modi's visit to Kolkata. Here he met with the Holy Mother Sarada Devi. Sohrab went to her for diksha but was denied permission. He reportedly asked to holy mother, "Maiji kuchh kijiye jisse khuda pehchana jaye". The incident of their meeting was not less than surprising. During her last days, none was permitted to come near the Holy Mother. But the day Sohrab had come for diksha, Maa Sarada could feel that someone has come for diksha from her saintly powers without anyone telling about him to the holy mother. She asked to send Sohrab to her and gave her many lessons which would be later helpful in his life.
Biography
He launched Minerva Movietone in 1936.[4] His early films at Minerva dealt with contemporary social issues such as alcoholism in Meetha Zaher (1938) and the right of Hindu women to divorce in Talaq (1938). Though the films did well, what attracted Modi was the historic genre. Minerva Movietone became famous for its trilogy of historical spectaculars that were to follow - Pukar (1939), Sikandar (1941) and Prithvi Vallabh (1943), wherein Modi made the most of his gift for grandiloquence to evoke historical grandeur.
Pukar (1939) was set in the court of the Mughal Emperor Jehangir and is based on an incident, perhaps fictional, that highlights Jehangir's fair sense of justice. Many of the key scenes were filmed on location, at the magnificent courts and palaces from the Mughal era, which gave the film an authenticity that studio-built sets could never achieve. The charisma of its stars, Chandra Mohan and Naseem Bano, and Kamaal Amrohi's oration, with its literary flourish and innate grace, ensured the film's popularity.[4]
Arguably Modi's greatest film was Sikander (1941), which immortalized Prithviraj Kapoor playing the title role. This epic film was set in 326 BC when Alexander the Great, having conquered Persia and the Kabul Valley, descends on the Indian border at Jhelum and encounters Porus (Modi), who stops the advance with his troops. Sikander's lavish mounting, huge sets, and production values equaled Hollywood's best, particularly in its rousing and spectacular battle scenes. The movie was rated by a British writer as "well up to the standard of that old masterpiece The Birth of a Nation." Its dramatic, declamatory dialogue gave both Prithviraj Kapoor and Sohrab Modi free rein to their histrionic proclivities.

एक ऐसा अभिनेता जिस ने भारतीय सिनेमा का सिर गर्व से उंचा किया उसे कोई भुला नहीं सकता आप के चैनल को शुभ कामनाएं।आप न जितनी फिल्मों की बात की है मैंने उस मे से 1956 के बाद जो आई हैं लगभग उन मे से सारी देखी हैं।पृथ्वीराज कपूर से मेरा व्यक्तिगत परिचय था।वो भी इस महान कलाकार का सम्मान करते थे।दोनों थियेटर से जुड़े थे और मैं भी एक थियेटरका अदना सा कलाकार था।मैं एक रिटायर्ड प्रधानाचार्य हूँ और लगभग 80 वर्ष का हूँ।पुनःआप को बधाई कि हमारे पुराने महान कलाकारों को आप याद रखते हैं।

In this era, I am watching Sohrab Modi's films and realised that he was one filmmaker who honestly worked for the glory of the nation and women so many decades back. Salute him 🙏
What about Naushad anedil
Nauseran E. Dil
I also watching Sorab Modijis great film's in this Era.

Why is this UA-cam channel more about Hindu and Muslim and less about movies?
बहुत ही खूबसूरती के साथ सोहराब मोदी साहब के बारे में आपने अपनी बात रखी है। उनकी जैसी बुलंद आवाज का धनी मुझे तो कोई नहीं दिखता। लाजवाब थे मोदी साहब।
Parsis who are originally Persians have brought glory to this country. Personalities like Sam Manekshaw, Homie Bhaba, Ratan Tata were/are gems.
What a POWERFUL voice. He was a Great SOUL. 👏👏👏
ऐसा बुलंद आवाज, उत्तम अभिनय, निर्देशन तथा गहरी सोच वाला कलाकार बहोत कम देखने को मिलता है. मुझे यह सब जानकर अच्छा लगा और एक बात थोडी खली कि सोहराब जी को भारतीय फिल्म इतिहास मे सन्मान कि जगह नही मिली. लेकिन आप लोगों ने यह बात इस विडिओ के जरीए हम लोगों तक पहुंचाई इसलिए आप का बहोत बहोत शुक्रिया.
Sohrab Modi was giant in film industry. Amazing amazing producer of absorbing hindi movies cutting deep inside ancient Indian history. Master of most vocal dialogue speaking. He is permanently absorbed in our soul and heart
A Legend, a towering voice n personality, and a great human being. I had seen him in my native place BHAVNAGAR, GUJARAT, when I was in school, when he visited our Parsi Firetemple in Bhavnagar, when he came with his Drama company. Unforgettable personality, impressive voice and always a jovial Parsi. Such persons are borne once in centuries. Hatts of to him n his work n character. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As s young man I always admired Sohrab ji. Thanks for a nice presentation of this tower of Hindi cinema .
I do remember Sohrabji Modi .His voice & dialogues are eternal. Hats off to him.
Sad this first showman of Hindi film industry doesn't get the mention and space he deserves.
Being a product of stage, he was considered loud for films.
He was a great showman indeed.
Thanks for the information.
True
My father was a fan of Sohrab Modi. He used to go to all his movies. He was of the opinion that SM was ahead of his time and had a great sense of history and aesthetics.

महान अभिनेता सोहराब मोदी जी को कोटि कोटि नमन🙏
Parsi are the most responsible; beautiful; patriotic; hard-working; minority who brought fame; wealth; and Glory to India. Jai Hind.
Praise needs a multiplier of 100. Hats off to Sohrab Modi.

I totally agree with you
Parsi community is loyal to country and patriotic
@@dollychhabria4558 and to their race, mistakably, the reason they are declining in numbers
He was the Grand Old Man of Indian Cinema. A commanding voice, a towering personality, the inflection in his dialogue delivery made him beyond immortal and a reverred person. A great Artist

Fantastic video,full of information about Sohrab Modi.💐😍👍👋
With limited resources he made many films.
A parsi married to muslim who had a son from earlier marriage set many examples and records.
Hat's off to him.
धीरज जी वो जो थे थे किंतु आप जिस तरह से कहानी सुनाते हैं आप की आवाज में भी दम हैं जो सितारे गुमनामी के अंधेरों में खो गये जिन्हे आजकल की पीडी जानती नहीं उन यादगार हस्ती हीरो हिरोइन निर्माता गीतकार संगीतकार गायक कॉमेडियन विलेन सब की आत्म जीवनी पर रोशनी डालिए उनके शानदार योगदान को आज की जनरेशन जाने उनके कीर्तिमान का लोहा माने जिन्होने उनको माना हैं वो भी उनको याद करें जय हिंद
What a powerfull voice.....great personality with morality..........kahan gaye woh log
He was a very nice actor and very nice historical films as well thankyou so much
His voice is really so attractive that even a blind person can feel what's going on in the film. I had seen some of his films when I was just a kid. Brilliant actor and really a true showman 👍
सोहराब मोदी की कई फिल्मों के लेखक उ रहे पंडित सुदर्शन. ये पं सुदर्शन वही हैं जिनकी सुप्रसिद्ध कहानी 'हार की जीत', शायद ही हिंदी का ऐसा पाठक होगा जिसने ये कहानी नहीं पढ़ी होगी. ये कहानी आज भी स्कूलों की किताबों का हिस्सा है.
पंडित सुदर्शन की हिंदी उर्दू पर कैसी ज़बरदस्त पकड़ थी वो कितने प्रभावशाली संवाद लिखते थे ये वो लोग बाखूबी जानते हैं जिन्होंने सोहराब मोदी की फिल्में देखी हैं. मसलन पृथ्वी वल्लभ.
Sir, I’m sure inadvertently you said Helmet. Khoon ka Khoon was based on Hamlet. My father(b. 1918) was a hardcore fan of Sohrab Saheb. When VCR was introduced in India my father’s sole aim was to get all the videos was of Sohrab saheb. Lovely program. Wish you success 🙏🙏🙏
भाईसाहब आपका ये वीडियो देखते हुए बडा गर्व महसूस किया एसे महान कलाकार को नमन आपके एसे वीडियो
बनाने के लिए धन्यवाद
Mai bhi bachpan me apne papa mummy ke saath inki movie dekhi hoon.. tabhi se inke acting ki fan hoon 🙏🙏unda kalakaar 👏👏💐💐
No one can replace Mr Sohrab Modi Gracefulness.. Unique as actor. New generation Must watch his movies ..to know history of gifted actor
ये था असली हीरो👍
SOHRAB MODI WAS A GIANT OF A MAN IN INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY
मेरे पिताजी भी सोहराब मोदीजी के बहुत बडे प्रशंसक थे !
सोहराब मोदी भारतीय फिल्मों की नींव तक से उठा खूबसूरत और मजबूत सतम्भ थे जिस ये गुबंद स्थापित हुआ।वो पहले ऐसे संवाद अभिनेता थे जिन्होंने अपनी आवाज की बुलंदी से सिनेमाघरों को गुंजायमान किया।ये सच है कि कि इन महान अभिनेता को लोग और भारतीय सोसायटी उचित न्याय नही कर सकी।
Sohrab Modi sir was great artist

मैं बहुत छोटा था तब मेरे चचा के साथ शीशमहल फ़िल्म देखने गया था जब श्री सोहराब मोदी दादारसे गिरते हुए मेने देखा में थियेटर में खूब जोरसे रोया बोला चचा दादा को बचाओ आज आपका उन महा डसकर की जीवनी देखी मुझे के राजपूत की आन सान क़े किरदार में राज हाथ मे खूबसूरत अभिनय आज भी मुझे याद है ए फ़िल्म मैने करीब दस बारह देखी होंगी। आज में भी 80 पार कर चुका हूं फिर भी जितनी भी उनकी फिल्म देखी सब आह फिर आपकी ए स्मरण अंजली देख कर याद गई। धन्य वाद। फिर एक बार राज हठ देखुगा। स्वामी जयानंद भारती का इस महान देश भक्त की सत् सत प्रणाम आज भी श्री भारत के आत्मा में जिवित है।

Dhiraj hi,
Shorab shab made Atma Taeang based on the ideology Ramakrishna Mission as you said , but you'll be surprised to know that, Shorab ji took initiation from Ramakrishna Paramhansa's wife Sri Sarada Devi in 1918. The man who present there was Sw Vireswarananda ji later mentioned in his book.
Thank you for the presentation.

Salute to the legend of Indian Cinema and Sohrab Saabs life exemplifies passion in one's work
Produces masterpieces and His immense contribution involving the technical personnel from Hollywood brought cinema in colour to India and his compassion to young artists need to be emulated by the current
Crop of mercenary producers and senior artists who snuff out lives of upcoming artists like sushant Singh rajput without any sensitivity.GONE IS THE GENERATION OF GENTLEMEN.
SOHRABJI MAY YOUR SOUL REST
IN PEACE🌹💖🙏🌈
Thousand times better than prithviraj kapoor. P. Kapoor delivered dialogues as if he had constipation
I m a big fan of sohab modi and his voice........
