OccupationActor, producer, director,
Joginder (real name Joginder Shelly) was an Indian actor, director, producer, writer, singer, songwriter and distributor. Two Hindi films produced–directed–written–acted–distributed by him were "Super Hits" –Bindiya aur Bandook[1] and Ranga Khush. (In Indian cinema any film which runs for over 50 weeks continuously is classified as "Super Hit.") He successfully instituted a plagiarism suit against the producers of one of India's greatest films Sholay for substantially copying his work. The character Ranga Khush was a household name in India in the 1970s, especially among little children who copied his maniacal laugh and rolling eyeballs, and favourably compares with Gabbar Singh who copied him.[citation needed] The film Ranga Khush was a spinoff from Joginder's two-word dialogue in Bindiya aur Bandook[2] (known internationally as "The girl with the gun").
He was often placed on lists of "worst movie directors", a fan-generated[3]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 megabudgetLOC which flopped. The popular song "Main Hoon Botal Band Sharab" had audiences dancing in the aisles whenever it came on the screen.[4]
Joginder acknowledged that he had no plans to enter mainstream cinema. His "Jhuggie-Jhopdi" (slum) audiences gave him fame and success.[5]
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.[6]
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 had also worked with late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi before turning actor.
In conclusion, a tribute from a fan "the world has two kinds of people – those who have watched ‘Ranga Khush’ and others who lead unfulfilled lives".[7]
