Two [Hindi](/source/Hindi) films produced, directed, written, acted and distributed by him were "Super Hits" – *[Bindiya Aur Bandook](/source/Bindiya_Aur_Bandook)*[1] and *[Ranga Khush](/source/Ranga_Khush)*. (In Indian cinema any film which runs for over 50 weeks continuously is classified as a "Super Hit.") 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 died from kidney and liver problems on June 15, 2009 in Mumbai at age 59. ## Career Joginder was often placed on lists of "worst movie directors", a fan-generated[3] title he shared with [Ed Wood](/source/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 megabudget *[LOC](/source/LOC_Kargil)* 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.[4] Joginder's film *Ranga Khush* was repeatedly featured in debates in India's upper house of [Parliament](/source/Parliament_of_India), the [Rajya Sabha](/source/Rajya_Sabha), for its extended rape sequences and insults to religious deities of all faiths.[5] Like [Aamir Khan](/source/Aamir_Khan) and [Guru Dutt](/source/Guru_Dutt), he was often shy in claiming directorial credit for his hit films which were usually attributed to industry veteran [Shibu Mitra](/source/Shibu_Mitra). A trained pilot, he also worked with the late Prime Minister [Indira Gandhi](/source/Indira_Gandhi) before turning actor. ## Filmography - Mitti Ke Rang TV Serial for (Doordarshan) 15 Episodes - *[Duplicate Sholay](/source/Duplicate_Sholay)* (2002) - *[Khooni Tantrik](/source/Khooni_Tantrik)* (2001) - *[Junglee Tarzan](/source/Junglee_Tarzan)* (2001) - *[Daku Maharani](/source/Daku_Maharani)* (2000) - *[Daku Ganga Jamuna](/source/Daku_Ganga_Jamuna)* (2000) - *[Daku Ramkali](/source/Daku_Ramkali)* (2000) - *[Daaku Dilruba](/source/Daaku_Dilruba)* (2000) - *Bhai Thakur* (2000) - *Meri Jung Ka Elaan* (2000) - *The Revenge: Geeta Mera Naam* (2000) - *Door Nahin Nankana* (1999) Punjabi Movie - *[Munnibai](/source/Munnibai)* (1999) - *[Khoonkar Darinde](/source/Khoonkar_Darinde)* (1999) - *[Mehndi (film)](/source/Mehndi_(1998_film))* (1998) - *[Yes Boss](/source/Yes_Boss_(film))* (1997) - *[Auzaar](/source/Auzaar)* (1997) - *[Aatank Hi Aatank](/source/Aatank_Hi_Aatank)* (1995) - *[Jai Vikraanta](/source/Jai_Vikraanta)* (1995) - *[Aag Aur Chingari](/source/Aag_Aur_Chingari)* (1994) - *[Gangster](/source/Gangster)* (1994) - *[Ganga Aur Ranga](/source/Ganga_Aur_Ranga)* (1994) - *[Aaj Kie Aurat](/source/Aaj_Kie_Aurat)* (1993) - *[Insaniyat Ke Devta](/source/Insaniyat_Ke_Devta)* (1993) - *[King Uncle](/source/King_Uncle)* (1993) - *Rani Aur Maharani* (1993) - *[Tyagi](/source/Tyagi_(film))* (1992) - *[Police Aur Mujrim](/source/Police_Aur_Mujrim)* (1992) - *[Ganga Bani Shola](/source/Ganga_Bani_Shola)* (1992) - *[Kaun Kare Kurbanie](/source/Kaun_Kare_Kurbanie)* (1991) - *[Dushman Devta](/source/Dushman_Devta)* (1991) - *[Aag Aur Toofan](/source/Aag_Aur_Toofan)* (1991) - *[Numbri Aadmi](/source/Numbri_Aadmi)* (1991) - *[Hatim Tai](/source/Hatim_Tai)* (1990) - *[Agneekaal](/source/Agneekaal)* (1990) - *Naaka Bandi* (1990) - *[Shehzaade](/source/Shehzaade)* (1989) - *[Elaan-E-Jung](/source/Elaan-E-Jung)* (1989) - *[Ghar Ka Chiraag](/source/Ghar_Ka_Chiraag)* (1989) - *[Paanch Fauladi](/source/Paanch_Fauladi)* (1988) - *[Jungle Ki Beti](/source/Jungle_Ki_Beti)* (1988) - *[Hukumat](/source/Hukumat)* (1987) - *[Loha](/source/Loha_(1987_film))* (1987) - *[Daku Hasina](/source/Daku_Hasina)* (1987) - *[Jaago Hua Savera](/source/Jaago_Hua_Savera)* (1987) - *[Aadamkhor](/source/Aadamkhor)* (1985) - *[Mard](/source/Mard_(1985_film))* (1985) - *[Pyasa Shaitan](/source/Pyasa_Shaitan)* (1984) - *[Betaab](/source/Betaab)* (1983) - *[Badle Ki Aag](/source/Badle_Ki_Aag)* (1982) - *Kasam Durga Ki* (1982) - *Bakhe Kadam* (1980) - *[Do Shikaari](/source/Do_Shikaari)* (1979) - *Guru Manio Granth* (1977) Punjabi Movie - *[Bhola Bhala](/source/Bhola_Bhala)* (1978) - *[Saawan Ke Geet](/source/Saawan_Ke_Geet)* (1978) - *[Pandit Aur Pathan](/source/Pandit_Aur_Pathan)* (1977) - *[Aadmi Sadak Ka](/source/Aadmi_Sadak_Ka)* (1977) - *[Amaanat](/source/Amaanat_(1977_film))* (1977) - *Fauji* (1976) Punjabi Movie - *[Warrant](/source/Warrant_(1975_film))* (1975) - *[Dhoti Lota Aur Chowpatty](/source/Dhoti_Lota_Aur_Chowpatty)* (1975) - *[Ranga Khush](/source/Ranga_Khush)* (1975) - *[Patthar Aur Payal](/source/Patthar_Aur_Payal)* (1974) - *[Do Chattane Doodh Ke](/source/Do_Chattane_Doodh_Ke)* (1974) - *[Chowkidar](/source/Chowkidar)* (1974) - *[Thokar](/source/Thokar)* (1974) - *[Mehmaan](/source/Mehmaan_(film))* (1973) - *[*Hungama* (1971 film)](/source/Hungama_(1971_film))* (1971) - *[Heer Raanjha](/source/Heer_Raanjha)* (1970) - *[Bachpan](/source/Bachpan)* (1970) - *[Purab Aur Paschim](/source/Purab_Aur_Paschim)* (1970) - *[Hum Hindustani](/source/Hum_Hindustani)* (1960) [6] ## References 1. *Cine Blitz*, Volume 24, Issue 2 "It was a runaway hit but a B grade film" 1.
