Chamber Of Film Journalists expresses deep sorrow on the sad demise of well-known producer- director Arjun Hingorani.

He was the true masala film maker and he knew the pulse of audience well. Apart from his films, and most of them having 3 Ks in the titles, his one of the biggest contribution to Hindi film industry was to give break to dynamic hero *Dharmendra*. His friendship with Dharmendra was evident from the fact that Dharmendra starred in most of his films. What’s more. Even when Dharmendra opened his studio Sunny Super Sounds he was the first one to make the booking. His friendship with Dharmendra was no less than a folklore in Bollywood. Apart from directing a Sindhi film “Abbana” he directed many hits including “Kab? Kyon Aur Kahan?”, “Kahani Kismat Ki”, “Khel Khiladi Ka”, “Katilon Ke Kaatil”, “Karishma Kudrat Ka”, “Kaun Kare Kurbani”, “Kaise Kahoon Ke Pyaar Hai” etc. His love for having 3 Ks in title of the film was too there when he was producing big budget film “Sultanat”. He added tag line “Kaarname Kamaal Ke” in the publicity of the film. He also acted in many of his films and his one liner “kya samjhe.. nahi samjhe” became instant hit when “Kahani Kismat Ki” was released.

Later *Hema* *Malini* too spoke the same lines in his next film.He was spiritual writer too. His book “How To Be Happy And Realise Your Dreams” was well appriciated by many dignitaries. He will not only be remembered for his films but for his noncontrovercial filmi career too. May his departed soul rest in eternal peace.
