- funtoosh? - 1 Update
| Sudhir mitr Bhaloo <maildrop999@yahoo.com>: Aug 23 08:38AM -0700 I had posted this question at this forum many years back. However, there was NO satisfactory answer While, each and every result displayed by: Google auntie, lists the word as 'first heard as title of film: FUNTOOSH (released in 1956) But that is not correct. The word was first used in film: TAXI DRIVER (released in 1954). It was spoken (most probably 2 times, one of which was in a scene inside of the Taxi) by film's leading lady: Kalpana Kartik and addressed to Dev Anand, the film's hero. Both Taxi Driver and Funtoosh were directed by: Chetan Anand and produced by: Chetan + Dev Anand. The word: FUNTOOSH was probably coined by Chetan or Vijay Anand (is listed as co-writer of dialogues for Taxi Driver Info at Wiki and other places that FUNTOOS H was 6th highest grossing fim is by an IDIOT. The film was a big FLOP. The brothers (Chetan and Dev) split in their movie-making business, ie: NAVKETAN (coined from: NAV = New and KETAN = Chetan's son). Dev became the owner of Navketan An excellent conversion of TAXI DRIVER can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O0-fgLXuUg by TommyDan55 /// Runtime: 2:11:13 Sudhir p.s.: I saw FUNTOOSH first time in early 60's and marked it as - Good for 1 view and ofcourse the song: Dukhi Maan Mere is a great creation |
