In this article, I am taking up for discussion, an obscure Hindi film whose shooting started in 1971 but completely stopped in 1976 for multiple reasons. In the meanwhile, the director left the film. In 1993, the producer of the film took the task of directing the film and completed shooting within one year without the main actor. However, the film could be released only after 37 years from the date of the commencement of the shooting, on April 27, 2008, that too in few theatres of Maharashtra. The name of the film is ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (2008).
The film was produced by Ashok Gupta under the banner of Sonu Art International and was directed by Mukul Dutt/Ashok Gupta. The star cast included Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Sharda, Sudha Chandran, Iftekhar, Dulari, Chand Usmani, Shivraj, Jalal Agha, CS Dubey, Virendra Razdan. Master Jitesh, Master Sharook, Baby Reshma etc. Padma Khanna, Ranjeet and Aruna Irani made their special appearances in the film.
As mentioned earlier, the shooting of the film started in 1971 when both Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha were struggling actors. Both were trying to established their foothold in Hindi films. Probably, this may be the reason as to why both were seen together in films like ‘Parwaana’ (1971), ‘Bombay To Goa’ (1972), ‘Raaste Ka Patthar’ (1972), etc. Sudha Chandran’s name appears in the cast who was around 6 years of age in 1971. It is obvious that she must have joined the film during the second phase of the film’s shooting in 1993. Similarly, Aruna Irani, Padma Khanna and Ranjeet may have made the special appearances in the film in 1993. Amitabh Bachchan did not join during the re-shooting of the film in 1993 while Shatrughan Sinha who has also become a star with large fan following, cooperated with the producer. The film’s song album was released in 1993.
Almost the entire story of the film is presented in a flashback mode. The gist of the story of the film is as under:
Ajay (Amitabh Bachchan), son of a poor farmer and Vikram (Shatrughan Sinha), son of a landlord are childhood friends in a village. Radha (Sharda) and Sikha (Sudha Chandran) are village girls who are also childhood friends and are close to Ajay and Vikram. While Ajay becomes a doctor and serves the village, Vikram becomes Thakur Vikram Singh after the death of his father. Their friendship continues in their changed profiles. The friendship is soured when Ajay gets Vikram’s henchman, Shamsher (Ranjit) arrested for kidnaping a village girl. From then onwards, their friendship turns into the clash between ideology of Ajay for the betterment of the villagers and the ego of Thakur Vikram Singh as a landlord.
Though Ajay and Vikram fight on every issue concerning the village, in their hearts, they are discreetly concerned about each other’s welfare. Sikha, the childhood friend of both Ajay and Vikram, tries to make Vikram understand Ajay’s concerned about the villagers, but his ego precedes over his friendship. In this way, Vikram is caught between his ego and the inherent desire to keep his friendship with Ajay. Over a period of time, he becomes restless and to overcome this, he takes to drinking and entertainment by organizing dance performances in his palace. In one of the dance performances, Vikram invites the entire village to participate. The dancer is Heerabai who is none other than Radha who had taken the vocation of dancer to take care of her poor father.
None of the villagers respond to Vikram’s invitation to watch the dance performance. Feeling insulted by the villagers’ boycott, to punish them, he instructs his staff to stop the release of water from the dam to the fields of villagers. Ajay again confronts Vikram on this issue and threatens him that he would himself go and open the sluice gate of the dam to release the water. Vikram sends his security staff to prevent Ajay from entering the dam site without harming him. In the meanwhile, some disgruntled elements in the village see the opportunity to settle the score with Ajay. Vikram comes to know about the developments and rushes to the dam site where he finds that Ajay is killed not before he has opened the sluice gate of the dam. Vikram blames himself for the death of Ajay and as a punishment, he gets whipped by one of his staff members. He continues this ritual every day until his death.
The film’s DVD is of around 1 hour 45 minutes. Obviously, some scenes from the film are either deleted or could not be shot due to non-availability of Amitabh Bachchan when the film’s shooting was resumed in 1993. Hence, in some places, discontinuity in the film’s story is discernible. Also, two songs from the film are not in the DVD. One can see Shatrughan Sinha’s transformation from a young and lean in 1971 to a middle-aged man in 1993. Since Amitabh Bachchan was not available when shooting of the film resumed in 1993, in the climax scene, Amitabh Bachchan’s duplicate was used, showing him only with his back and that too in the long shot.
‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ has six songs three are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and three by Surendra Sathi which were set to music by RD Burman. It is my guess that the three songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and rendered by Asha Bhosle were recorded during the first stint of the film’s shooting in 1971. The remaining 3 songs written by Surendra Sathi have been rendered by the next generation playback singers like Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sadhana Sargam, Ranjana Joglekar and Yunus which may have been recorded in 1993.
I am presenting the first song from the film, “Naache Mora Pyaar Dekho Na” to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Asha Bhosle on the lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. The song is picturised on Sharda who is performing a dance for Shatrughan Sinha. Iftikhar is also seen in the picturisation. The song ends abruptly when Sharda sees Amitabh Bachchan entering the room where guests are gathered to watch her dance.
RD Burman has re-used the tune for this song from his Bangla non-film song, “Jete Dao Amay Dekona” (1969) which was also sung by Asha Bhosle. Later, he re-used the same tune for another Hindi non-film song’”Jaane Do Mujhe Jaane Do” rendered by Asha Bhosle for Gulzar’s album, ‘Dil Padosi Hai’ (1987) and Telugu song, “Mouname Priya” sung by S Janaki in ‘Chinni Krishnudu’ (1987).
The tune of the song under discussion is based on Raag Nand which Madan Mohan had also used for the song, “Tu Jahaan Jahhan Chalega Mera Saaya Saath Hoga in ‘Mera Saaya’ (1966). Hence the song under discussion and this song sound, more or less, similar in tune.
Song – Naache Mera Pyaar Dekho Na (Yaar Meri Zindagi) (2008) Singer – Asha Bhosle, Lyrics – Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD – RD Burman

Sadanand Ji,
Hats off for your efforts and patience to watch a half cooked film, that too after keeping it on slow burn for a long long time. 🙂
Probably Amitabh-Shatrughan-Pancham team must have aroused your interest.
The song is pleasant.

Satish ji,
First, I heard mp3 clip of another song of Asha Bhosle (not in the film) on yt, the description of which said as the song from the ‘unreleased film, ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (1973). When I checked about the film, the same name of the film was shown as released in 2008. It is then I got to know the combination of Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha and R D Burman. It was only after I watched the film’s truncated DVD, I selected the song under discussion which is raaga-based and is to my liking.

I had seen the ads for this film in 2008. But had missed the presence of RD Burman in the team.
This is one thing about Shatrughan Sinha which i have read at various places & interviews. He was a friend Kadar Khan and Amjad Khan relied on when they turned filmmakers. No wonder he showed interest in completing the long-held-up film for Ashok Gupta
Thank you for bringing it on to the blog

Peevesie’s Mom,
There is another story about Amitabh Bachchan which is attributed to the film’s first director, Mukul Dutt. When he approached him for resuming the shooting in 1976, he first declined. Later he is supposed to have said to Mukul Dutt that he can resume shooting provided Shatrughan Sinha is not taking part in further shooting.
I have no way to confirm this story. But it seems, it is in line with what happened during the casting of ‘Kaala Patthar’ (1979). In a recent interview with Arbaaz Khan, Shatrughan Sinha said that there were pressure on Yash Chopra not to cast him in the film. However, film’s writer, Salim was firm in casting him because the story was written keeping Shatrughan Sinha in mind. Please watch the interview on the clip given below from 21:40 onwards.

Liked the composition in this post.
I have left the reading of the story for next installment 🙂

You have to read two stories in the article – the story of the film and the story of the making of the film😀
