Hullo Atuldom
The blog has songs from “Shri 420” (1955), “Shrimati 420” (1956) & “Ustaad 420” (1969) – from which “Shrimati 420” is one short from being YYIIPPEEEED. Hindi films have a few more ‘420’ (char sau bees). There is a “Khiladi 420” which came in 2000 & “Chachi 420” which released in 1997. These are the 420/s that I know of, there may be one or two more films with ‘420’ in their title.
We shall focus on “Chachi 420” today, on the occasion of Kamal Haasan’s birthday. He is turning 69. He was born in a Tamil Iyengar family to a lawyer-freedom fighter father & homemaker mother. Two of his brothers- Charuhasan & Chandrahasan have also acted in Tamil films. Kamal’s nieces Anu Hasan & Suhaasini are also actresses as also his own daughters Akshara & Shruti. He was married to Bharat Natyam danseuse Vani Ganapathy and then Sarika Thakur (of Hindi Films fame). All-in-all a family of entertainers.
Kamal Haasan has also produced & directed films, has hosted a few reality shows on TV in addition to being an actor in Tamil (his base language), Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada & also Bengali. He has a huge fan following all over South India and it is very normal to see huge cut-outs of him whenever a film of his is due to release. There are fans of his among the film-fraternity too & many of them have accepted mini to maxi roles just to be in the same frame as him. “Hey Ram!” (2000) is a case in point where Shahrukh Khan & Rani Mukherjee had small roles; even Hema Malini, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri were there in that film. He had also appeared in a Silent Film – “Pushpak” in 1987 which also had Tinnu Anand, Farida Jalal, Amala etc in the cast. It was a successful entertainer. He has experimented playing a variety of characters like a Dwarf in ‘Appu Raja’ (original Tamil title- ‘Apoorva Sagodharargal’), 4 lookalike brothers separated at birth in ‘Michael Madan Kama Rajan’ & 10 varied characters in ‘Dasaavatharam’.
“Chachi 420” was a film which had him in the role of ‘gentle lady’ for nearly half the film. It was co-written, produced & directed by Kamal Haasan. It starred Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Walker along with Ayesha Jhulka (I think it was a guest appearance). Tabu was the heroine and Fatima Sana Shaikh was the child star. (Fatima played Geeta Phogat in the 2016 released “Dangal”.)
The film was a remake of Kamal Haasan’s 1996 released Tamil film “Avvai Shanmughi” which itself was inspired by “Mrs Doubtfire” (1993). This sentence will give the followers of the blog an idea about the movie.
For those who haven’t seen ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ or ‘Avvai Shanmughi’ or ‘Chachi 420’ here is the synopsis :-
“Wealthy Janki (Tabu) falls in love with poor Jaiprakash (Kamal Haasan), much to the displeasure of her parents, and ends up getting married, and living with her husband. She subsequently gives birth to a daughter. Differences surface between the couple, and Janki leaves Jaiprakash and moves back in with her parents. Jaiprakash wants to see his daughter, but is prevented by Durgaprasad (Amrish Puri), Janki’s dad, so he assumes the guise of a woman, calls himself Laxmi, and starts working as a nanny for his daughter. Complications arise when Durgaprasad gets attracted to Laxmi and wants to marry ‘her’.”
The dialogues by Gulzar were another highlight (imo) & the way they have been delivered- the film should be seen to enjoy that aspect. Vishal Bharadwaj was the music director & Gulzar wrote the songs.
“Macarena” a song by the Spanish pop duo Los del Rio was very popular in the early 1990s. It inspired a few Indian film makers & musicians too. “Chachi 420” also had a take-off on it . Today we shall have that song. It is filmed as “Karva Chauth” celebration song. Kamal Haasan sings for himself & Asha Bhonsle sings for Tabu (who had her birthday on 4th november. Belated wishes to her).
Let us enjoy the song – in all these years of hearing this song there are a lot of words which I haven’t deciphered specially at the start of the song. But, it is enjoyable.
