Hullo Atuldom

19th June is the birthday of actor Raj Kiran. He will be 73 today.

Recently I saw Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Arth’ (1982) and I thought such a good-looking person. He was playing the part of Raj who falls in love with the recently jilted Pooja (Shabana Azmi); that was an odd pairing. But they looked good together. Raj Kiran had made his debut in 1975 through BR Ishara’s ‘Kaagaz Ki Nao’ with Sarika as his co-star. His next release was ‘Shiksha’ (1978) which was directed by S Ramanathan. It was produced by Tarachand Barjatya – meaning Rajshri productions.

The movie had Urmila Bhatt and Iftekhar playing Raj’s parents. Beena Banerjee & Benjamin played villagers who lives are effected by Vijay Gupta’s (Raj Kiran) reckless driving. Vijay’s father is a strict person who feels that giving him a proper punishment for this recklessness will make his son a better person. So instead of bailing him out of the situation the father throws him out of the house. Vinay takes up a job as a driver at a rich man’s place (I think that was Pinchoo Kapoor) under a new name – Vinay & also doesn’t disclose his lineage. Vinay (a.k.a Vijay) also comes across the family that was effected by his recklessness, helps them in various ways so that they come to terms with and out of their misfortune. That was the simple story of ‘Shiksha’.

Bappi Lahiri was the music director of the songs in this movie which were written by Gauhar Kanpuri. I have seen the shoot of a part of the opening song of this film.

The music-part of the song before an antara was shot on the road out side the building which was my maayka. There was a lot of activity on our road on that day. Suddenly we saw a few shops spring up. Then we found the reason for all the activity as we saw large reflectors, and crowds build up. Now, there is a park opposite my building at Andheri where suddenly there were people sitting under huge beach-style umbrellas. I think that was the time of some holidays or vacation so we kids (all aged below 12) were allowed lots of time in the park by our parents. Then we saw a car drive up with a whole lot of men and ramming through the newly set up shops. Then the shops got reset and the same thing happened again. Sometime later, a person involved in all of this came up and rang the bell at my home asking for water, cold if possible. And my mom gave him a few bottles of water that is when she made inquiries about what the shoot was all about. I remember that she gathered info that it was a new boy who was playing the hero, and this is going to be part of the song. I don’t know if she recognized Jagdeep who was the only known face in the whole setup; maybe she would have if he was not in that funny wig.

If we see the video of the song this incident happens from 3:52, when the car is shown driving from under a flyover which is the Gokhale Bridge of Andheri West. The vehicle drives past Barucha Baug also known as Parsi Colony (in our area). The cars comes down the road and takes a left turn and runs into those shops. My building is seen in the background at 3:58 seconds into the song. The building in the background at 4.02 was the staff quarters of Tata Housing Centre (where my aunt used to stay; in fact her house itself is seen very clearly). This 20 seconds of the song was shot on a sunny day outside my home in Andheri. One can say ‘My personal 20 seconds of Bollywood’ 🙂 with my building and Tata colony being seen again at 4.18 of the song.

Now the readers may have guessed the reason that I have chosen this Bappi Lahiri sung & directed song to go with today’s post that is wishing Raj Kiran a very Happy Birthday. He is said to have gone missing for the last few decades; his last released film was ‘Chudail No. 1’ in 1999.

Then I read Rishi Kapoor’s quote somewhere “I’ve been wondering where Raj had disappeared. The question was haunting me for a very long time. Then these rumours of Raj being no more began doing the rounds. I was really disturbed. How can a colleague with whom I shared a really good times, just vanish from the face of earth? I decided to look up Raj’s elder brother Govind Mahtani to find out about Raj. I was so relieved when Govind told me that Raj was alive. But he was confined to an institution in Atlanta due to health problems. … apparently, he looks after his own treatment by working within the institution. It’s a heart-rending situation for an actor who was so successful at one time”.

Hope this once upon a time handsome looking actor is fine.

यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है
प्यारी है
कली भी मुझे प्यारी है
दिन डूबे या शाम ढले
गाते हुये हम तो चले
अरे यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है
अरे प्यारी है
कली भी मुझे प्यारी है
दिन डूबे या शाम ढले
गाते हुये हम तो चले
अरे यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है

लाss ला ला ला लाल्ला ला लाs
लाss ला ला ला लाल्ला ला लाs

जब हम झूमें
अबार घूमे
चलते हैं तो
राहें चलें साथ में
मस्ताने हम
हम को क्या ग़म
रहती है हरदम
मंज़िल मेरे हाथ में
यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है
प्यारी है
कली भी मुझे प्यारी है
दिन डूबे या शाम ढले
गाते हुये हम तो चले
अरे यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है

लाss ला ला ला लाल्ला ला लाs
लाss ला ला ला लाल्ला ला लाs

आँधी तूफान
बादल बिजली
बन के तन के
रुकते नहीं हम कभी
दुनिया में तो
जो है अब है
अपना सब है
कल हमने देखा नहीं
अरे यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है
प्यारी है
कली भी मुझे प्यारी है
दिन डूबे या शाम ढले
गाते हुये हम तो चले
अरे यारी है
फूलों से मेरी यारी है

ला ला ला लाss ला लाss
ला ला ला ला लाss लाss लाल्ला
हो हो
ला ला ला लाss ला लाss
ला ला ला ला लाss लाss लाल्ला
हो हो
ला ला ला लाss ला लाss
ला ला ला ला लाss लाss लाल्ला
हो हो
ला ला ला लाss ला लाss
ला ला ला ला लाss लाss लाल्ला
हो हो

I remember having seen this film during my college days. It was a nice film and I had enjoyed the music as well. There’s one beautiful song reflecting how what Vijay had done affected the family..

Teri Chhoti Si Ek Bhool Ne Saaraa Gulshan Jalaa Diya
Kya Mahkenge Phir Phool Kabhi Kya Phir Se Bahaarein Aayengi…
