印度電影 Movie kya hai ?

 Dil Se 的  Sangeet 表演. (Preity Zinta and Zohra Sehgal).在Devdas中, Kiron Kher 演的Paro媽媽跳起舞來已經很厲害,畢竟比Zohra Sehgal年少個四十歲, 這位將近100歲的老太太真的是太強了.

舞蹈 實力 不遜 年輕演員的  Zohra Sehgal .

         60年代的Bollywood 女神 Waheeda Rehman現在常演母親, 70年代的Hema Malini 婚後退隱,2000年後偶爾客串母親角色, Sharmila Tagore, Jaya Bachchan(Ab jr的媽媽)早早將生活與電影融為一體, 慈母角色一而再再而三反覆出現. 80年代的Rekha豔色一時, 如今五十來歲, 仍擔綱詮釋風韻佳人, 雙目閃電如綠稜, 不可不謂 Bollywood一朵永不凋萎的帶葉薔薇.  

       與上述諸名演員相較, 1912年出生於北方邦UP的Zohra Sehgal由中年到鶴髮,不曾擔任過女主角, 從影輩份也較前列者高一輩有餘. 現今當紅電影的祖母角色非她莫屬, 多年歷練, 不同階層身份來歷的祖母群, 也能讓她圈點出同中求異. 例如,hum dil de chuke sanam那位目盲心不盲,年老心不老的奶奶,湊合 sameer & nadinni, dil se 中在孫子婚宴小露一手舞蹈, 頭頸緩如古典舞者, 意在姿態之先, 為preity zinta 飾演的孫媳婦慶賀. 甚至在平板無趣的Veer-Zaara,詮釋出那位印巴分治,死前仍心繫故里的善良老奶奶.   這回 Mistress of Spices 影評慘遭重創, 但她的First Mother 瞻之在前 忽之在後, 鬼影幢幢, 玄秘的壓迫, 不愧 香料島 尊者之職.  好花須得綠葉扶持, Zohra Sehgal和年輕演員的互動表演, 相得益彰.

以下是她的作品表. 大家不妨再回去細看她的表演.
