Joy Mukherjee Literally Ate To Death

Firstpost  

Before Mithun Chakraborty, there were only two successful Bengali actors in Hindi cinema: Biswajeet and Joy Mukherjee. Asha Parekh who did four films with him — Hum Hindustani, Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon, Ziddi and Love In Tokyo—remembers running into Joy for the last time in Kashmir. Later Joy was to do three musical blockbusters with O P Nayyar’s hit songs: Ek Musafir Ek Haseena, Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Ho__on and Humsaya which Joy produced and directed in 1968. It was a disaster, despite Nayyar’s nifty numbers like Woh haseen dard de do and Dil ki awaaz bhi sun reducing Joy to near insolvency. After his death Joy’s dream project Love In Bombay which he had produced and directed was released by his wife Neelam and sons Toy and Boy.
