“Dashaavtaar”(1951) was produced by Kikubhai Desai and directed by Jayant Desai for J K Films, Bombay. The movie had Nirupa Roy, Trilok Kapoor, Niranja Sharma, Umakant, Vasantrao Pehlwan,Praveen Kumar, Baby Tabassum, Murad, Master Dhulia, chanda Bai etc in it/ Jerewan had made a guest guest appearance in the movie.
“Dashaavtaar”(1951) had 12 songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the blog so far.
Here is the fifth song from “Dashaavtaar”(1951) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi and chorus. B P Bhargav ki the lyricist. Music is composed by Avinash Vyas.
Only audio of the song is available. From the name of the movie, it appears to be a mythological movie, but it is surprising to see a song discussing Mahatma Gandhi is this movie. That is what the lyrics of this song are about. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the story of the movie and also the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
I do not remember to have listened to the songs from this movie ‘Dev Kanya-1963’. So, when I came across this movie on the blog, I listened to its only song available on the blog. And what a song it is. I immediately fell in love with this duet song ‘zaraa pehchaano to main kaun kahaan se aayi’.
As mentioned by Atul ji in this post this movie seems to be a forgotten movie. That could be the reason the beautiful songs from this movie may have failed to catch the attention of music lovers. I have listened to the few songs from this movie already available on the internet and all of them appear to be nice songs to me.
As per information available in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) ‘Dev Kanya-1963’ was directed by Sri Nath Tripathi (S.N. Tripathi) for ‘Sur Sagar and Amrit Films’.
It had Anita Guha, Mahipal, B.M. Vyas, Mukri, Krishna Kumari, Babu Raje, Mishrilal, Sheela Kashmiri, S.K. Shukla, Ratnamala, Radheshyam, Shri Bhagwan, Uma Khosla, Tiwari, Sudarshan Kumar, Madhumati and others.
This movie has seven songs penned by B.D. Mishra. And these were composed to music by S.N. Tripathi.
Singer’s name is not mentioned for one song and the singer’s names that we get from the other six songs are Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh, Mohd Rafi, and Mahendra Kapoor.
As mentioned above only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog earlier on 08.09.2013. That was long ago.
Today we listen to the second song from this movie. It is another nice duet song sung by Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle.
Only audio of this song is available.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.
Let us enjoy this duet song from ‘Dev Kanya-1963’ now…
Song-Sainyyaan chhod de mera haathh (Dev Kanyaa)(1963) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi , Lyrics-B D Mishra, MD-S N Tripathi

Hullo Atuldom
Born into the film industry. Married into another famous movie-making family. Debut film (in Hindi) with a star-son; a Khan at that. In fact, heroes in her first six films had KHAN as their last name.
I am speaking of Rani Mukherjee who was born into the Mukherjee-Samarth family. Her father Ram Mukherjee was the son of Ravindramohan Mukherjee who was Sashadhar Mukherjee’s (founder of Filmalaya studios) brother. Her mother is the playback singer Krishna Mukherjee. Additionally her brother is director Raja Mukherjee. So that is Rani’s maayka.
She is married to Aditya Chopra; Yash Chopra’s son. ‘Shadaab Khan’ (Amjad Khan’s son) in ‘Raja ki Aayegi Baraat’; ‘Aamir Khan’ in ‘Ghulam’; ‘Shahrukh Khan’ in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’; ‘Faraaz Khan’ (son of Yusuf Khan a.k.a Zebisco of ‘Amar Akbar Anthoy’) in ‘Mehndi’; ‘Salman Khan’ in ‘Hello Brother’; were her first five movies with the Khans. The sixth film, that I spoke of at the start of this post, ‘Mann’ had Rani only for a song where she shared screen time with Aamir Khan for a song.
Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Abhishek Bachchan, Govinda, where the other heroes she was usually cast opposite in the first few years of her career. She also played Kamal Haasan’s wife in ‘Hey Ram’; incidentally Shahrukh Khan also had a role in the film, not opposite Rani though.
Subsequent films saw her in a few two-heroine films like ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’; ‘Kahin Pyaar Na ho jaaye’; ‘Mujhse Dosti Karoge’ etc.
Movies with Rani Mukherjee were full of good songs, and commercial entertainers. Today she turns a year older- 45 to be exact.
Last Friday saw the release of “Mrs Chatterjee v/s Norway” which has Rani playing a mother and the promos show her to be playing some kind if activist. She has been seen in this type of movies since 2011 when she appeared in ‘No one killed Jessica’.
The song with this post is from her debut film ‘Raja ki Aayegi Baraat’ (1996). Other than Rani Mukherjee & Shadaab Khan the film also had Saeed Jaffery, Raja Murad, Gulshan Grover, Divya Dutta, Asrani, Shashi Sharma, Mohnish Behl, Goga Kapoor, Yunus Parvez etc. in the cast. The film showed Rani playing a girl with happy dreams of marriage and a rosy life. These dreams are shattered when Shadaab Khan enters her life, rapes her to avenge her humiliating him etc. But Shadaab is forced to marry Rani as a punishment for his crime against her by the judge played by Yunus Parvez. Rani uses this opportunity to get even with her tormentor but the couple end up falling in love and the marriage becomes a success. There are some twists and turns before the movie ends in a “marriage baraat”; the kind which Rani had dreamt of.
Let us wish Rani a Happy Birthday with this song which sees Rani living her dream of a “Grand Baraat” at her wedding.
Song-Raaja ki aayee hai baaraat (Raja Ki aayegi Baaraat)(1996) Singer-Vijeyta Pandit, Lyrics-Sameer, MD-Aadesh Srivastava
Female chorus
Lyrics
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
sabke chehre khil rahe hain
masti aisi hai chhaayi
haaye
masti aisi hai chhaayi
phool barse
rang bikhre
mil rahi hai badhaayi
haaye haaye
mil rahi hai badhaayi
ye to bade hi shagun ki hai baat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
dulhe raaja janch rahe hain
baandh ke sar pe sehra
haaye
baandh ke sar pe sehra
is khushi mein lag raha hai
waqt jaise ho thahra
haaye haaye
waqt jaise ho thahra
saath dulhan ke saj gayi raat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
bhaabhi meetha munh karaaye
note bahnon ne waare
haaye haaye
note bahnon ne waare
bin piye hi jhoom rahe hain paapa jee bhi hamaare
haaye
paapa jee bhi hamaare
aisi khushiyon ki huyi barsat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
oye

oye oye oye
Aap farmaaiye kya khareedenge

In case of Four of the eight movies represented on the blog viz. all songs of ‘Parchhaain-1952’, ‘Dr.Vidya-1962’, ‘Gumnaam-1965’ and ‘Chhoti Chhoti Baatein-1965’ have been covered on the blog.
The remaining four movies eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today are ‘Maa Baap-1944’, ‘Meghdoot-1945’, ‘Kunwaari-1966’ and ‘Bhayaanak-1979’.
We already have a song posted from one of these four movies i.e. ‘Kunwaari-1966’.
In this post we present a song from another ‘blog ten-year challenge’ eligible movie for today which is ‘Bhayaanak-1979’.
‘Bhayaanak-1979’ was directed by S.U. Saiyed for ‘AVM Arts International’.
It was a suspense movie released for restricted viewing with ‘A’ certificate and it was passed by Censor Board on 23.08.1979.
‘Bhayaanak-1979’’s cast included Mithun Chakravarty, Sadhoo Meher, Niloo Phule, Chandrashekhar, Mushtaq Merchant, C.S. Dubey, Jagdish Raj, Shaheen Khan, Sushila Raut, Annu Dhawan, Sadhna Khote, Hamid Rakesh, Major Anand, Fatima, Mannu Arora, Master Danny Jr., Master Abid, Master Anees, M. Miquel, and Madan Joshi and Om Shiv Puri and others.
The movie introduced Ranjan Garewal, Shashi Ranjan and a ‘fresh romantic pair Ravi Kumar and Razia Sultana’ (as the movie titles mentioned😊)
Ranjeeta had a special appearance in this movie. Sharad Saxena makes a Guest appearance in this movie.
Story of this movie was written by the ‘AVM arts story department’ and its dialogues were written by Madan Joshi.
M. Maroof wrote the script of this movie. Harish Choudhary was the editor of this movie, and he was assisted by Sudhir Deshpande.
Munir Shah was the Dialogue Director for this movie.
This movie has five songs (including one multiple version song), which were all written by Indeevar.
Music for this movie was composed by Usha Khanna.
Suresh Wadkar, Hemlata, Anuradha Paudwal had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
So far three songs (including one multiple version song) have been posted on the blog.
Today’s song is the fourth and the penultimate song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
Today’s song is sung by Anuradha Paudwal. HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions in its foot note for this movie that, for the today’s song the film version is in the voice of Hemlata and record version is in the voice of Anuradha Paudwal. However, in the movie version available on internet this songs seems to be in the voice of Anuradha and not Hemlata if I am not wrong.
This song is lip-synced and performed on screen by the beautiful Reena Roy. The song is a ‘mujra-song’ where the audience includes C.S. Dubey, Jagdish Raj, Master Junior Danny (I guess) and Shaheen Khan or Anu Dhawan (I am not sure) and others.
(The titles of the movie and HFGK both didn’t mention the name of Reena Roy in the list of artistes of this movie).
The powerful verses of the today’s song are by Indeevar (and I find them similar to the song from ‘Yeh Hai Duniya-1948’ – ‘duniya hai baazaar’).
Music is composed by Usha Khanna.
Let us listen to this lesser known and forgotten yet a ‘gem’ of a song …

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————
In this post we are going to listen to a song from the movie ‘Devyaani-1952’. It was directed by Vasant Painter for ‘Madhav Pictures’.
Madhukar Harihar was the producer of this movie. It had Shakuntala, Sapru, Mahipal, Meenakshi, Vasantrao Pahalwan, Banke Bihari, Baburao Pendharkar and others.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 15.07.1952.
“Devyaani-1952” was a ‘mythological film’. Our respected Arunkumar ji has mentioned about this movie in brief as given below, while presenting a song from this movie on the blog on 19.10.2021.
I am reproducing the text from his post as given below.
There were regular wars between the Gods and the Demons (Sur and Asur). However the Gods could never win any battle. The reason?, Rishi Shukracharya, who was the Rajguru of the Demons knew the Sanjivani mantra, with which the dead demons would be brought back to life.
Realising that without getting the mantra, they would never win any battle with Demons, the Gods sent Kach- son of God Brihaspati (Jupiter) to Shukracharya as his disciple. Kach impressed Shukracharya’s daughter Devyani and they became friends. Devyani started loving Kach.
The Demons came to know who Kach was . They killed him, burnt his body and mixed the ashes with wine, which was given to Shukracharya to drink. He knew that it contained Kach ashes. Meanwhile Devyani came to know that Kach was killed. She insisted that Shukracharya use his Mantra and bring him back to life. Due to daughter’s love, Shukracharya recited the Sanjivani mantra and Kach came out alive from his stomach. Shukracharya died. But Kach now knew the Mantra and he brought back Shukracharya to life again.
Devyani now expresses her love and proposes marriage to Kach, but he refuses stating that since he came from Shukracharya’s stomach, she was her sister now. Devyani is disappointed with his weak logic and curses Kach that what he learned here, he will never be able to use anywhere. Angrily, Kach too curses her that no Bramhin will ever marry her in her life. He goes away and the film ends as a tragedy.
“Devyaani-1952” has seven songs in it, all were penned by Manohar Khanna. Music for this movie was composed by S. Purushottam.
So far, three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier as per details given below.
| SNo. | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Madhur madhur sapnon mein aaj main | Asha Bhonsle | 15.11.2016 |
| 02 | Man se man ke taar milaa le | Sulochana Kadam | 22.05.2018 |
| 03 | Prem ki maala meri kahin toot na jaaye | Asha Bhonsle | 19.10.2021 |
Today’s song is the fourth song from this movie. It is sung by Mohd Rafi.
Only the audio of this song is available. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the movie and the picturisation of it’s’ songs.
Song-Jaag jaag o Shaktimaan ab praath ho gayaa jaag re (Devyani)(1952) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Manohar Khanna, MD-S Purushottam

Hullo Atuldom
Presenting
“Badi Mushkil Baba
Badi Mushkil
Gore gore gaalon pe hain
Kala kala til”
A song that I love to see. Why?!!
(1) Because of its choreography
(2) Because of the smiling ladies in the sequence.
(3) A visual treat.
I hope the followers of the blog will get the same pleasure from this song that I experience every time I see it. The song is from the Rajkumar Santoshi produced & directed “Lajja” (2001). The story of the film was woman-centric just like “Damini” (1993); the major difference between ‘Damini’ & ‘Lajja’ being that ‘Lajja’ had four female characters as its protagonist.
The film had a cast of highly talented, super versatile actors with Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Mahima Chaudhry, Manisha Koirala (as the main ladies), Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, with Danny, Gulshan Grover, Suresh Oberoi, Razak Khan, Johnny Lever, Sharman Joshi, Tinnu Anand, Farida Jalal, Dina Pathak, Anjan Shrivastav, Beena, Govind Namdeo, Rohini Hattangadi etc in supporting roles. The film also had Sonali Bendre & Urmila Matondkar for a song sequence each. Also there were Viju Khote, Asrani, Jagdeep, Samir Soni, Jaya Bhattacharya in guest appearances. That is a very long list and most of the supporting actors have been given near-equal screen time.
The film was the story of Vaidehi (Manisha Koirala) who is a girl with conservative family values and undergoes a culture shock when she has to shift to the USA after marriage to Raghu (Jackie Shroff). The film then follows her journey after she leaves her husband and the USA; comes to India and encounters other ladies in similar or worse situations. The ladies Maithili (Mahima Chaudhry), Janki (Madhuri Dixit), and Rampyari (Rekha) are all shown to be coping with the good & bad happenings in their lives to the best of their abilitiies. Mathili & Rampyari have Raju (Anil Kapoor- a common thief) & Bhulwa (Ajay Devgan- a not-so-dreaded bandit) helping the ladies in their own way.
In spite of good performances by the cast, excellent songs, and being well-directed with a good second half the film was not a commercial success. It was felt by some critics that the film tried to pack in too many issues viz. dowry, computer education, female literacy, (only) females being accountable in society and female infanticide. But Rekha & Madhuri were nominated for best supporting actress at the 47th Filmfare awards and Ajay Devgan for best supporting actor.
The film had background score was by Ilaiyaraja and Anu Malik was the music director for the songs that were sung by Richa Sharma, Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik, Anuradha Paudwal, Anuradha Sriram, K.K., Shubha Mudgal & Lata Mangeshkar. The songs were written by Sameer.
Today, Alka Yagnik, the playback singer of this song turns a year older. She was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in a Gujarati family. Herr mother was a Indian Classical music singer and Alka too beegan singing at a very young age. She came to Mumbai with her parents to try her luck & was advised by Kalyanji-Anandji as well as Laxmikant of Laxmi-Pyare duo to wait a few years for her voice to mature a bit more before taking up professional assignments. She was first heard in Rajshri Productions’ “Payal Ki Jhankaar” and followed it up with “Hotel”, “Itni Si Baat”, “Hamaari Bahu Alka” etc. She tasted real success with “Mere Angane Mein” from “Lawaaris” (1981). And, since then, she has her place in the music industry & is the voice for Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Juhi Chawla etc. She has been a Judge on a few reality shows on various television channels.
Here is wishing her All the best and a life filled with music.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————
Music lovers and regulars on the blog are aware that this blog already has more than 17500 song-posts by now. Many of them are surely aware that we still have a long way to go in bringing many of the songs ‘including from the golden period of HFM’ here on the blog. These songs could well be hidden gems lost with the passage of time despite being ‘good compositions’ because they could not become popular. But then the competition at that time was of a very high class !! So many talented persons (now considered legends) were active at the same time competing for the same space!!
So our journey of unearthing songs and bringing them on board is going to be a long drawn process.
Today’s composition is one such lovely composition which had all the ingredients of becoming pupular had it got the right exposure during its time. I do not remember to have listened to it earlier on radio, so this song obviously could not make it to the popularity charts.
This song is from the movie ‘Saazish-1959’.
“Saazish-1959” was directed by Surya Kumar for ‘Filmistan Limited’.
It had Ranjan, Nalini Chonkar, B.M. Vyas, P. Kailash, Hush Banu, Randhir, Kanu Roy, Badri Prasad, Ram Avtar, Sabita Chatterjee, Indira Bansal, Bhalerao, Manohar Gir, Vithhaldas Panchotiya, Sulochana and others.
“Saazish-1959” has eight songs written by Qamar Jalalabadi and composed by S.D. Batish.
Asha Bhonsle has sung six solo songs in this movie, while in one song she is accompanied by chorus. One song is a duet song of Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle.
Two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog.
Today I present the third song from this movie. It is a solo song in the voice of Asha Bhonsle. Lyrics are by Qamar Jalalabadi while music is composed by S D Batish.
Enjoy this lovely song …
Song- O meri nazron mein tum hi tum ho (Saazish)(1959) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-S D Batish
Lyrics
meri nazron mein
o meri nazron mein
tum hi tum ho
naa jaane kahaan
gum ho
zaraa sun’naa
o zaraa sun’naa aa
jaane tamannaa aa
aadhi aadhi raat meri
aankh khul jaaye
aankh khul jaaye
pyaasi pyaasi zindagi
tum ko bulaaye sanam
tum ko bulaaye
chain naa aaye
yaad sataaye ae
o mere sapnon mein
mere sapnon mein
tum hi tum ho
naa jaane kahaan gum ho
zaraa sun’naa
o zaraa sun’naa aa
jaane tamannaa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
thhak gaye kaali kaali
zulfon ke saaye
zulfon ke saaye ae
pyaar ke raahi bolo
kyun nahin aaye

raat suhaani
roothh naa jaaye
o mere shiqwon mein
o mere shiqwon mein
tum hi tum ho
naa jaane kahaan gum ho
zaraa sun’naa
o zaraa sun’naa aa
jaane tamannaa aa
kaisaa toone jaadu kiyaa
o pardesiyaa
o pardesiyaa aa
dil mera loot liyaa aa
o pardesiyaa

saaz dil ka chhed diyaa aa
pardesiyaa
mere naghmon mein
oye mere naghmon mein
tum hi tum ho
naa jaane kahaan gum ho
zaraa sun’naa

oye meri nazron mein
tum hi tum ho
naa jaane kahaan gum ho

Vishal Bhardwaj’s Trilogy of Shakespeare Play – 2: ‘Omkara’ (2006)
In this article, I am exploring the second film of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Shakespeare trilogy, ‘Omkara’ (2006) which is based on ‘Othello’ (1603).
There is a trivia which was narrated by Vishal Bhardwaj in a TV interview about a couple of years back. At Goa International Film Festival, he met Naseeruddin Shah who enquired as to what he was currently doing. Vishal Bhardwaj said that he had just completed a script based on Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’. Naseeruddin Shah retorted that ‘Othello’ was the weakest character in Shakespeare’s play and it will not work in Indian context. Vishal Bhardwaj gave him a copy of the script to read. Next day morning, Naseeruddin Shah came to Vishal Bhardwaj and said that he had read the script in the night and he would do the character of Bhaisaheb in the film. This shows the power of screenplay writing which makes a so-called weak Shakespeare play strong.
For ‘Maqbool’ (2004), Vishal Bhardwaj had to wait for nearly two years to get a producer/financier after the script was ready. But it was a smooth sailing for him in ‘Omkara’ (2006). He not only got a producer, he also got all the main actors as per his requirements. In ‘Omkara’ (2006), Vishal Bhardwaj has blended his artistic approach with commercial elements to avoid the repeat of the box office failure of ‘Maqbool’ (2004). His strategy worked and ‘Omkara’ (2006) fared very well on the box office front.
‘Omkara’ (2006) was produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak (Ajay Devgan’s Manager and the executive producer of most of Ajay Devgan Films) and was directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The cast included Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles supported by Saif Ali Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Vivek Oberoi, Bipasha Basu (special appearance), Naseeruddin Shah, Deepak Dobriyal, Pankaj Tripathi, Kamal Tiwari etc. The Censor Board certified the film for Adult viewing (A).
In ‘Omkara’ (2006), Vilash Bhardwaj molded the story of ‘Othello’ (1603) with the rural backdrop of Uttar Pradesh where ‘Bahubalis’ played prominent role in the politics. A comparison of main characters in ‘Othello’ with that in the film, ‘Omkara’ (2006) is presented in a tabular format below:
| In Othello | In Omkara | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Othello is a dark-skinned Commander of the Venetian army in Venice. | Omi Shukla or Omkara (Ajay Devgan), the head of a criminal gang is the son of a Brahmin father and low-caste mother. | In both ‘Othello’ and ‘Omkara’, the race/caste is not the main reason for tragedy. It is the jealousy and revenge for which race/caste is discreetly used for instigation against Othello/Omkara. |
| Iago, a soldier, and Othello’s trusted adviser. | Ishwar ‘Langda’ Tyagi (Saif Ali Khan), a henchman of Omkara. | In ‘Othello’ Iago kills his wife, Emilia while in ‘Omkara’ Indu kills her husband, Langda. |
| Desdemona, the white-skinned wife of Othello who abducted her. | Dolly Mishra (Kareena Kapoor), the high caste fair-skin wife of Omkara who was abducted by him from the wedding venue. | – |
| Cassio, Othello’s white-skinned lieutenant in the army. | Keshav ‘Kesu Firangi’ Upadhayay (Vivek Oberoi), the trusted and a fair-skinned handsome aid of Omkara. | The reason for appointing Cassio as lieutenant is because of his courage while Kesu’s promotion as Bahubali is mainly because of his charming nature and vote drawing ability from the younger generation. |
| Emilia, wife of Iago and Attendant to Desdemona. | Indu Tyagi (Konkana Sen Sharma), wife of Langda and so-called sister of Omkara is a close companion of Dolly Mishra. | By making Indu, the so-called sister of Omkara, her character is more powerful in ‘Omkara’ than Emilia in ‘Othello’. |
| Roderigo, the lover of Desdemona. | Rajju (Deepak Dobriyal), the bridegroom who was to marry Dolly. | Rajju thinks that Langda will help him get back Dolly. But Langda is actually using him in his plan to take revenge against both Omkara and Kesu. |
| Brabantio, a senator of Venice and the father of Desdemona. | Raghunath Mishra (Kamal Tiwari), a lawyer and the father of Dolly. | – |
| Duke of Venice, the Administrator of Venice | Bhaisaheb (Naseeruddin Shah), a politician. | – |
| Bianca, a courtesan in Venice. | Billo (Bipasha Basu), a dancer and the mistress of Kesu. | – |
| Language used in the play is poetic. | Language used in the film is local dialect of Western UP. | In keeping with the setting of the story in rural UP. |
The gist of the film’s story is as under:
Omkara (Ajay Devgan) is the head of a criminal gang operating under the patronage of Bhaisahab (Naseeruddin Shah), a local politician. Langda Tyagi (Saif Ali Khan) and Kesu (Vivek Oberoi) are the close confidants of Omkara. The film opens with Langda attacking a marriage procession (baaraat). Dolly (Kareena Kapoor), the bride is kidnapped by Omkara before bridegroom, Rajju (Deepak Dobriyal) reaches the marriage venue.
Raghunath Mishra (Kamal Tiwari), Dolly’s father and a lawyer with his men rushes to Omkara’s house and asks him to handover his daughter. Omkara, however, claims that Dolly chose him rather than Rajju. The matter goes to Bhaisahab where Dolly tell her father that she willingly eloped with Omkara. Raghunath Mishra feels betrayed by his daughter and leaves by telling Omkara that a daughter who betrays her father can betray him also. Dolly stays with Omkara.
In an election, Bhaisahab is a candidate. Omkara’s gang arranges a video of a sex scandal of Bhaisaheb’s political opponent resulting in his reputation getting tarnished. Bhaisaheb wins the election. In token of his appreciation, Bhaisaheb selects Omkara as a candidate for a local election. In order to canvas for his election, Omkara makes Kesu as his Bahubali over the claim of Langda who is senior to him. This sows the seeds of anger and jealousy in Langda who secretly plans to get revenge on both Omkara and Kesu.
The gang celebrates the election victory with a nautanki performance by Billo (Bipasha Basu), the dancer who is the mistress of Kesu. Seeing this opportunity, Langda pressurises Kesu to drink and a drunk Kesu gets instigated by the cigarette smoke emanating from Rajju’s mouth affecting Billo. A brawl between Kesu and Rajju takes place injuring Kesu. The matter goes to Omkara who is enraged by Kesu’s behaviour. Omkara punishes Kesu by sidelining him from important assignments.
To restore his position in the gang, Kesu approaches Langda for a way out. He suggests to Kesu to approach Dolly who can plead with Omkara to pardon him. Dolly agrees to put a word to Omkara provided he teaches her an English song. Kesu starts visiting Dolly and spends time with her for rehearsing an English song. Once, Omkara sees Kesu coming out of Dolly’s room and asks Langda about this. Langda, using this opportunity create suspicion in the mind of Omkara suggesting an affair between Kesu and Dolly. As a proof, a ‘kamarbandh’ jewellery gifted by Omkara to Dolly is found with Billo which was given to her by Kesu. In fact this was clandestinely managed by Langda through Indu. Suspicion overtakes rationale in the minds of Omkara. He assigns Langda to kill Kesu.
On the first night of his marriage, Omkara confronts Dolly of her ‘infidelity.’ In uncontrolled anger, he kills Dolly by suffocating her with a pillow. Indu enters the room and see the dead body of Dolly when she finds kamarbandh jewellery. She admits that she has taken it from Dolly’s room and handed it over to Langda. A realization comes to their minds that Langda has given it to Kesu to create the suspicion in the mind of Omkara. Angered by Langda’s conspiracy, Indu slashes Langda’s throat with a sickle resulting in his death. A seriously injured Kesu returns when he watches Omkara killing himself with his revolver out of guilt.
The film had 5 songs written by Gulzar and set to music by Vishal Bhardwaj. I present the first song ‘beedi jalaile jigar se piya’ to appear on the Blog. The song is picturised on Bipasha Basu, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi, and Deepak Dobriyal with a large crowd. It is a nautanki song in celebration of the election win. The song is choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. The song starts with a prelude of scat (wordless vocables) singing by Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh.
I have watched the video clip of the songs many times since the release of the film. I thought the song to be an item number. When I watched the full film, I realised that this song was an essential part of the film. Gulzar saab’s lyrics are raunchy which is understandable as it is for a nautanki song.
Gulzar Saab, at the launch of the music album of the film, had said that his lyrics of the song reflected the feudal system that prevailed in UP. When I started interpreting the song with Gulzar Saab’s statement, the line, ‘dhuaan na nikaari o lab se piya ye duniya badi jhaag hai’ I felt as if a serf (or a peasant) telling his other colleagues to keep their mouth shut in front of a powerful feudal lord. Similarly, the line in the song ‘na kasoor, na fatoor bina zuram ke hazoor mar gaye’ apart from the raunchiness, also give the impression of a powerful feudal lord sitting in front of a pleading serf. Likewise, the line in the song, ‘aisa kaate ke daant kaa nisaan chhod de’ though sounds erotic, it can also be visualised with a feudal lord sitting with his German Shepherd dog who let loose his dog to bite a serf as a part of the punishment. Such thing used to happen under zamindari system.
I do not know whether Gulzar had considered in his lyrics feelings of Langda after he was overlooked by Omkara for promotion as Bahubali in favour of Kesu. But at some places in the song, lyrics give such an impression. For instance, the line ‘naa kasoor naa fatoor bina zuram ke hazoor mar gaye’ gives an inner feeling of Langda that he has been denied promotion by huzoor (in this case, Omkara) without his fault.
As per the audio album, the song under discussion is rendered by Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Nachiketa Chakraborty and Clinton Carejo. However, I did not find the voice of Clinton Carejo in the song. Probably, he may have rendered some occasional chants in the background of the song and also a line or two in the prelude. The chanting by the crowd in western concerts is mainly by the fans of the performers. Vishal Bhardwaj has added this element in this nautanki song to give such a feel.
The raunchy lyrics with Urdu and local dialects, the bawdy dances, the elements of folk music in orchestration, the chants in the background from the crowd and the lighting effects give a feel of a real nautanki performance in a rural setting in modern India.
This song also represents as to how far the nautanki folk music has progressed from the harmonium, sarangi/clarinet, dholak with sitting crowd under petromax light as in paan khaaye sainyya hamaaro in ‘Teesri Kasam’ (1966) to the digital music with chanting by the standing crowd under electric lights.
