An extraordinary masterclass at the 19th Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF 2026).

Renowned Colombian filmmaker and editor Carlos Federico Atehortúa Arteaga took the stage for a profound session titled "The Philosophy of Montage: Unveiling the Folds." Drawing from his acclaimed work in films like Pirotecnia, Carlos demonstrated how editing image and sound is a deep philosophical act rather than a simple technical transition. The masterclass guided attendees to see montage as a battlefield where history, identity, and memory collide.

On his birthday, we celebrate a true legend who has spent decades redefining what it means to be a complete artist. His extraordinary journey on the silver screen took off with NFDC's masterclass Massey Sahib (1985), delivering a brilliant debut performance that earned him the prestigious Silver Peacock for Best Actor at IFFI (1987) as well as the FIPRESCI Critics' Award (1986) at the Venice Film Festival.

But his genius doesn't stop at acting. Beyond bringing complex characters to life, his profound musical soul has composed unforgettable tunes for beloved feature films and critically acclaimed stage productions like Dilli 6, Peepli Live, Chhote Saiyed Bade Saiyed, Naukar Jamal, and the nostalgic Chacha Chaudhary.

From the stages of parallel theater to the hearts of millions on screen, his earthy charm, flawless timing, and high-utility versatility continue to inspire generations. Happy birthday to the magnificent, multitalented Raghubir Yadav.

On his birth anniversary, we look beyond the iconic comedy lines to celebrate the profound, multi-faceted legacy of Padma Shri awardee Satish Shah. Long before he became the master of our childhood chuckles, his early appearances in cinema masterpieces like Arvind Desai Ki Ajeeb Dastaan (1978) and Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai (1980) revealed a performer of remarkable dramatic depth and versatile grit.

From his timeless comedic timing in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro to his deep, nuanced character roles, few could ever match his effortless on-screen charm. He didn't just entertain us, he defined clean, relatable, and high-utility storytelling across five glorious decades.

Today, we honor a true titan of Indian cinema who showed us that a great actor can make you laugh till you cry and reflect when the screens go quiet.
