Joginder
Introduction '''Joginder''' (real name Joginder Shelly) was an Indian actor, director, producer, writer, singer, songwriter and distributor. Two Hindi films produced, directed, written, acted and distributed by him were "Super Hits" – ''Bindiya Aur Bandook'' and ''Ranga Khush''. (In Indian cinema any film which runs for over 50 weeks continuously is classified as a "Super Hit. ")The film ''Ranga Khush'' was a spinoff from Joginder's two-word dialogue in ''Bindiya aur Bandook'' (known internationally as "The girl with the gun"). He died from kidney and liver problems on June 15, 2009 in Mumbai at age 59.
Career Joginder was often placed on lists of "worst movie directors", a fan-generated title he shared with Ed Wood. In common with Wood, Joginder made a run of cheap and poorly produced films, now humorously celebrated for their unsophisticated special effects, large amounts of ill-fitting stock footage, idiosyncratic dialogue, eccentric casts and outlandish plot elements, although his flair for showmanship gave his projects at least a modicum of commercial success.His commercial acumen came to the fore when he dared to release his houseful sequel ''Bindiya aur Bandook-2'' against J.P. Dutta's megabudget ''LOC'' which flopped. The popular song "Main Hoon Botal Band Sharab" had audiences dancing in the aisles whenever it came on the screen.Joginder acknowledged that he had no plans to enter mainstream cinema. His "Jhuggie-Jhopdi" (slum) audiences gave him fame and success.Joginder's film ''Ranga Khush'' was repeatedly featured in debates in India's upper house of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha, for its extended rape sequences and insults to religious deities of all faiths.Like Aamir Khan and Guru Dutt, he was often shy in claiming directorial credit for his hit films which were usually attributed to industry veteran Shibu Mitra.A trained pilot, he also worked with the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi before turning actor.
