About this listen

Few actors in Hindi cinema have had the sort of career arc: from the gawky adolescent pining for his schoolteacher (Mera Naam Joker, 1970) to the naughty 90-year-old (Kapoor & Sons, 2016), Rishi Kapoor has regaled audiences for close to 50 years. He won a National Award for his debut, became an overnight sensation with his first film as a leading man (Bobby, 1973) and carved a niche for himself with a string of romantic musical blockbusters in an era known for its angst-ridden films.

Characteristically candid, Rishi Kapoor brings Punjabi brio to the writing of Khullam Khulla. This is as up close and personal a biography as any fan could have hoped for. A foreword by Ranbir Kapoor and a stirring afterword by Neetu Singh bookend the warmest, most dil se biography an Indian star has ever penned.

Autobiography of Rishi Kapoor

Autobiography is good. Narration can be improved. Book is open acknowledgment of Rishi Kapoor towards his own achievements, mistakes, ups and downs. Only he out of the trio of RK sons can reach to this status.

Deeply engaging and entertaining.

मैं ऋषि जी की पीढ़ी का नहीं हूं और ना ही उनका फैन हूं, ना ही मैं उनकी एक्टिंग का बहुत कायल हूं। ये किताब भी मैने बस ऐसे ही ले ली क्योंकि हिंदी ऑडियोबुक्स के ज्यादा विकल्प हैं नहीं तो मैंने सोचा कि बदलाव के लिए हिंदी में कुछ सुन सकते हैं टाइमपास करने को। लेकिन एक बार जब मैने ये किताब शुरू की तो मेरा इसे बंद करने का मन ही नही हुआ। ऋषि जी ने अपने दादा और पिता के किस्सों के ज़रिए हिंदी सिनेमा के उस दौर को जीवंत कर दिया, जिनके किस्से खुद एक फिल्म जैसे अकल्पनीय लगते हैं। और फिर उनके करियर, रिश्तों, विचारों, शौक और बुराइयों के बारे में उन्होंने उसी सच्चे और बेबाक ढंग से बताया है जिसकी वजह से वो अक्सर सुर्खियों में आ जाते थे। ऐसी जीवनी पढ़ कर बहुत अच्छा लगता है जिसमें लेखक ख़ुद खुल कर अपनी और दूसरों की बुराइयों की भी बातें करे और ये ना सोचे की पढ़ने वाले उनके बारे में क्या सोचेंगे।
इस लिहाज़ से किताब का शीर्षक बिल्कुल उपयुक्त है : खुल्लम खुल्ला।
