Satish Kaushik dead at 66: A look back at his most memorable roles - From Calendar to Pappu Pager
Calendar in Mr India
Mr India (1987), the superhero film, is arguably one of the greatest Bollywood films. In the film, the late actor Satish Kaushik played the role of everyone's favourite Calendar. Even though the film had Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in the lead role, Satish as the soft-hearted cook, gave a standout performance, whether it was the line from the film ''Calendar khana do!'' or the way he danced as he entered the kitchen.
Pappu Pager in Deewana Mastana
“Pappu pager Bol rela Hu.. aye zhantule zatak jyada na matak”, the way Satish Kaushik delivered this dialogue in the film is hard to forget. The star-studded film had Govinda and Anil Kapoor in the lead, but like always Satish was able to tickle the bones of the audience as the cheerful gangster, made him the star of the film.
Every time he came on the screen wearing the flowery shirts with sunglasses on and a pager in his hand, gave everyone a laugh riot.
Kashiram in Ram Lakhan
Subhash Ghai’s 'Ram Lakhan' is a classic film. The film, starring Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff in the lead roles, revolved around the story of two brothers. Even in the film, which was high on drama, had heavy dialogue, and had a serious tone, Satish was able to shine as Kashiram - his comic timing and expressions in the film were top-notch.
Mutthu Swami in Saajan Chale Sasural
Satish Kaushik and Govinda always did wonders on the screen together. In a career spanning decades, Satish and Govinda have worked in many films together, but one movie that will always stand out is the 1996 film 'Saajan Chale Sasural'. In the film, Satish portrayed the role of a South Indian named Mutthu Swami. His funny accent as a South Indian left the audience in splits.
Kaushik as Muttu Swami won millions of hearts and is still one of the most beloved characters.
