+'''Motilal Rajvansh (1910-65)'''
+
+
+Hindi actor born in Simla; best known as the
+gentleman crook in Gemini’s Mr Sampat,
+based on R.K. Narayan’s famous novel, and as
+the tragic hero’s city friend in Bimal Roy’s
+1955 version of Devdas. Played several roles
+as the urbane city-bred sophisticate, e.g. in
+Mehboob’s Taqdeer, and most notably in
+Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anari, where his
+suave performance as a business magnate
+counterpoints Raj Kapoor’s awkward Oedipal
+rebellion. Also played a spectacular
+antipathetic role in Kardar’s Holi. Together
+with Sabita Devi, he formed a top 30s screen
+couple in Sagar’s socials, e.g. Badami’s K.M.
+Munshi-scripted Dr Madhurika. Later
+worked at Ranjit in Chandulal Shah’s
+Achhut, in Jayant Desai’s Diwali and Shadi
+and in Chaturbhuj Doshi’s Pardesi and
+Sasural, usually with Madhuri. Elaborated a
+realistic acting style relying on casual dialogue
+delivery, often hailed as the first example of
+naturalistic film acting in India. His style
+marked the early work of Mehboob (Jagirdar,
+Hum Tum Aur Woh, Taqdeer) and Kidar
+Sharma (Armaan, Kaliyan) and was
+acknowledged by Dilip Kumar as a significant
+predecessor. Cousin of playback singer
+Mukesh.
