Ravina Tandon left films at a time when she learned acting.

Ravina Tandon left films at a time when she learned acting. When she joined bollywood films her glamour appealed before the viewers more than her acting. She came to limelight with her appearance in the action film Mohra opposite Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty. The song “tu cheez bari hai mast mast” became super hit in the mid-90s.

From that time onwards her films opposite Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty always became super hit. Examples include Officer and Vinashak opposite Sunil Shetty and Dava opposite Akshay Kumar. He learned few action stunts also for sustaining in those types of films. The other hit films were opposite Sanjay Dutt like Vijeta and Aatish. In both these films her lips in leading songs like “sherry mai ho gaya diwana” became very popular.

But her maturity in acting came about in the later part of the career. She gave a lifetime performance in the film Shool, opposite Manoj Vajpai. Manoj Vajpai was a fearless police officer and faced the hardles from the ruling political parties in the state of Bihar. As the ruling party was corrupted they never wanted the police to investigate freely. When Manoj Bajpai was injured in the process Ravina Tandon gave moral support to him.

Ravina Tandon continued her good work in the film Jago opposite Sanjay Kapoor. Her daughter was raped in a local train in Mumbai. When the case was taken up by Manoj Bajpai he faced problems in getting testimony of witnesses who had seen the event. People feared the underworld gang who were involved with the atrocities. Ravina Tandon submitted before Court of Law that she was disgusted with the conscience of passersby in trains who had seen a small child being raped and yet failed to cooperate with the police to get the wrongdoers addressed and imprisoned.

Ravina Tandon got the national award for best performance in female role in the film Daman. When she left films around 10 years back, she was matured the most. The viewers expected that her enhanced standard of performances would enrich bollywood films. But she got married and begot a daughter and stopped acting. She is seen in television shows where she adjudicates dance performers.

But viewers expect her to make a comeback and still contribute in character roles.

Manoj Vajpayee – the seasoned actor of bollywood.

Manoj Vajpayee – the seasoned actor of bollywood.

Manoj Vajpayee, had shown his calibre of performing in various roles in bollywood films in the last 10 years. He kept his mark in the film Shool, where played the role of a fearless police officer who never compromised with corruption, red tapism in the area where he operated. The film showed the amount of corruption existing in the different departments and the amount of pressure created by the politicians on the police force to prevent their independent functioning.

He was ably supported by Ravina Tandon, who played the role of his wife who was subjected to assault to obstruct Manoj Vajpayee from independently dealing with the cases. He also did very well as a dacoit who helped Phulan Devi in the film Bandit Queen directed by Shekhar Kapoor.

He also acted in the role of a fearless police officer in the film Jago. The daughter of Ravina Tandon and Sanjay Kapoor was assaulted and killed by three persons while she was travelling in local train in Mumbai. Due to immense pressure created by the perpetrators of crime, the witnesses never had the courage to testify before the court of law. Both Ravina Tandon and Sanjay Kapoor got frustrated before Manoj Vajpayee took up the case.

He provided support to the witnesses and encouraged them to come before the court of law, identify the criminals and provide their testimony about the incident. They did that at the end and the criminals were punished. He made a submission before the court of law mentioning the difficulties with which the police force in India work. Whenever they try to raise voice against any of the ministers either they are transferred or dismissed by involving them in false cases. These are some of the reasons for which the police cannot perform their duties properly.

He also did well in a villanish role in the film Veer Zara where he involve Shahrukh Khan in a false cases relating to anti-national against Pakistan so that he could marry Preeti and Shahrukh suffered imprisonment for the false charges till he was proved innocent by strong submission of Rani Mukherjee, who reopened the case. Manoj Vajpayee had shown his potentiality in films like Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar with Tabu. He is expected to continue his good work in the years to come.
