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.
The director- Amol Palekar- was popular among the film viewers as someone who portrayed the guy-next-door type of characters with finesse, so much so that the audiences felt he was one of them. I am sure we can recall Ram Prasad (in minimum 2 films), Sanjay (also in 2 films of the ’70s), Vinod, at the mere mention of his name, I need not even spell out the names of the films. But, he was also known to play characters with negative shades in films like “Bhumika” (1977), “Khamosh” (1985) and “Teesra Kaun?” (1994). A look at his list of films released after 1980 shows that he was busy into making certain type of films which were diametrically opposite to ‘Naram Garam’ (1981), ‘Jeewan Dhara’ (1982), ‘Shriman Shrimati’ (1982), ‘Rang Birangi’ (1983), & many more such typical films of the ’80s. “Akriet” (1981) in Marathi, was his directorial debut, which was followed at regular intervals by ‘Ankahee’; ‘Thoda sa Roomani Ho Jaye’, and about 20 others, the last of them being the Marathi film ‘We are On! Houn Jau Dya’ which came in 2013 & which he had jointly directed with Sandhya Joglekar. Many of the films that he made are National Award winners. In addition to being an actor, producer, director he is also a trained painter, who has had a few one-man shows, being an alumnus of Mumbai’s J.J. School of Art. He was born in Bombay in 1944 & turns 79 today. Wishing Ramprasad Dashrathprasad Sharma (do I need to mention which film?) a very Happy Birthday.
Coming to “Paheli” (2005), it was produced by Shahrukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment & Gauri Khan has been credited as the producer. It had a huge cast of Rani Mukherjee, Juhi Chawla, Shahrukh Khan, Anupam Kher, Suniel Shetty, A.K. Hangal & Amitabh Bachchan in a cameo. Naseeruddin Shah & Ratna Pathak Shah’s voices were used for the puppets. M.M.Kreem was the music director & Gulzar was the lyricist. Shreya Ghoshal, Hariharan, Sukhwinder Singh, Sonu Nigam, Madhushree & Bela Shende (two new names for me) were the singers used.
Sadanandjii’s post of 15th February 2023 gives us a lot of information about the story, who wrote it originally and the way it was treated by Mani Kaul & later by Amol Palekar. I don’t think I can better that post. So let us get to the song directly.
