Today’s song is from the film Nazaare-1949.

It was a film made in the Cine Factory of Ranjit Movietone. It was called a ‘Cine Factory’ because, on all the 8 shooting floors of its studio, continuous shootings went on. Not only their own films, but outside producers also took the floors on rent and made their films. All materials like cameras, helpers, editing and sound facilities, mini theatre and all that was required to make a film was available in Ranjit, including actors, actresses, Lyricists, Music Directors, Directors and what not !

Kaun kambakht hai jo bardaasht karne ke liye peeta hai… main to peeta hoon ke bas saans le sakoon.

This famous dialogue in the film, ‘Devdas’ (1955) was written by Rajinder Singh Bedi, the Urdu short stories writer, playwright and the novelist. In the aftermath of the partition, he had landed in Hindi film industry mainly for the betterment of his financial conditions apart from creative contributions to the extent possible. But once he knew the realities that the film writers have no much freedom, Rajendra Singh Bedi turned producer-director in Hindi films to fulfil his creative desire.

Today’s song is from the film Paataal Bhairavi-1952.

The film was a dubbed version of the original Telugu film made in 1951. The film was a creation of Vijay Vauhini studios of Madras. It was produced by B.Nagi Reddy and Chakrapani (He is the same person who was the editor of various versions of ‘Chandamama’ magazines). This studio was situated in Vadapalani- a suburb of Madras city. In 1980, I had an opportunity to see this studio and meet Chakrapani in the ‘Chandamama’ office, through one of my friends in Madras.

Ayushman Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar were paired together for the first time in ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2014) which I have already discussed on the Blog. Their chemistry clicked from the very first film together which seems to have been liked by the audience as per the box office indicator. ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ (2017) is their second film together. Other supporting cast included Seema Bhargav, Neeraj Sood, Chittaranjan Tripathy, Brijendra Kala, Supriya Shukla, Sanjay Singh etc.

Hindi film audience may be acquainted with Pearl Padamsee (1931 – 24/04/2000) for her good performances in Basu Chatterjee’s films, ‘Khatta Meetha’ (1977) and ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979). She was also seen in Shyam Benegal’s ‘Junoon’.

Hullo Atuldom

Like they say in some sponsored programs, I shall also say:- today’s song has been selected with the help of my daughter who is known as Peevesie to the followers of the blog. (I always feel we should acknowledge all those who help us). She is the one who pointed out that the director of the film (Paheli 2005) from which today’s song is, was someone who tried his hand at films which didn’t have the regular run-of-the-mill stories.

While discussing the films, ‘Gharaonda’ (1977) and ‘Dooriyaan’ (1979), the name of Bhimsain gets noticed. Both these films were produced and directed by him whose specialisation was in animation films. His foray into feature film was a journey into uncharted waters for him. In the event, both these films became cult-classics. Thereafter, he made only one Hindi film, ‘Tum Laut Aao’ (1983) and bid goodbye to Hindi films. He devoted rest of his life in improving the standard of animation films in India. I have come across about a dozen of videos on the development of animation films in India and all of these mention about the contributions Ram Mohan and Bhimsain in the field of animation films in India.

Remembering Bhimsain Khurana (24/11/1936 – 17/04/2018), a devoted animation filmmaker whose 87th birth anniversary falls today.
