Today’s song is from an imaginary costume film ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958).
Alibaba, Alladin and Sindbad were the popular characters during our school days. Not only books of their stories but also films made on them were the targets of all children in those days. It was a thrilling experience to get a book on one of these Heroes, as a gift on “Happy Birthday” ! I am not very sure if today’s young children read these stories. I doubt if they even know these names. These boys seem to favour Harry Potter stories, while the young girls are lost on reading Mills and Boon novels, I suppose ! The big fat book ‘Stories of Arabian Nights’ was the most sought after book (in spite of 5 copies) in our school library. Stories of Alibaba, Alladin, Sindbad the sailor, Hatimtai, Gul Bakavali etc enchanted us.
Arabian Night stories evolved through a story which took place in Persia. King Shahriyar became a woman hater after he found that his wife was unfaithful to him. He not only killed her, but he started marrying a new girl every time and on the second day of marriage the wife would be killed to avoid unfaithfulness.
The legend says that Scheherazade, the beautiful young daughter of the Vizier, decided to marry King Shahriyar, against wishes of her family. On the first night of marriage, she started telling him a story which she left unfinished. Curious to know the story’s end, the king postponed her killing. On every night Scheherazade employed the same technique-keeping the story unfinished. Thus she continued 1001 stories on 1001 nights. Finally the king changed his opinion and pardoned his wife.
As always, the creative heads in the story departments of filmmakers invented titles like ‘Alladin Ka Beta’, ‘Alladin Ki Beti’, ‘Alladin And Laila’ etc. Similarly son and daughter were gifted to Alibaba and Sinbad and films made on them. The funniest title was ‘Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin’ (1965) ! On a quick check of HFGK entries for the 1940s decade we find that as many as 9 films were made in 1946 alone on these characters. Added were ‘Baghdad Ka Chor’, ‘Hoor e Baghdad’, ‘Sher e Baghdad’, ‘Arab Ka Chand’ and ‘Shah e Misr’ – in which actor Ajit debuted with his real name Hamid.
Most of these stories took place in the Middle East cities which were land locked. However, one character Sindbad was a sailor and his stories of adventures and voyages to magical, strange and unbelievable places were mind boggling. He was equally popular as Alibaba and Alladin.
The fertile imagination of the members of ‘Story Departments’ of studios must be appreciated. Films like ‘Son of Alibaba’ (1955), ‘Son of Hatimtai’ (1965), ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958) and also ‘Daughter of Sindbad’ (1958) were made. The original book of Arabian Nights does not have any such stories of their progeny (what’s more, films like ‘Daughters of India’ (1938) and even ‘Son of India’ (1962) were made). The funniest title of a film was ‘Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin’ which was made in 1965. I did not see that film, because I did not want to spoil my sweet memories of these 3 heroes !
Today’s film was produced by Ram Kamlani and Balwant Bhatt. It was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt , the veteran of such films and the music was composed by the Melody Maker Chitragupta. The cast of this film was Premnath, Jabeen Jaleel, Nishi, Poornima, Shammi, Sundar, Cuckoo and many more usual artistes of such films.
Jabeen Jaleel was a short petite but attractive actress. She was born on 1st April 1936 in Delhi, but was educated in Japan and Bombay, as her father was in foreign services of India. She used to take part in college dramas and in one such drama the judges were Nigar Sultana and her director husband SM Yusuf. They offered her a film as a heroine. Jabeen’s father had expired and only mother and younger brother were there. She accepted the offer. Her first film was ‘Guzaara’ in 1954. Her second film in 1955 was ‘Lutera’. Her first hero was Karan Dewan and second was Nasir khan. She became famous in ‘New Delhi’ (1956), in the role of Kishore’s sister Nikki’s. She acted in 29 films, out of which 5 were unreleased. She also acted in 4 Punjabi films. She got a National award in 1962 for a Punjabi film in which her hero was Prem Chopra.
She was a popular actress of Hindi cinema of the 1950s & 60s. Although She acted in merely 29 Hindi (5 films were unreleased) and 4 Punjabi films in her almost 20 years career, she made millions of fans of her beauty and wonderful acting. She has worked with top Bollywood stars like Shashi Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar, Dev Anand & Pradeep Kumar during 1955 to 1965.
Jabeen made her film debut with ‘Guzaara’ (1954) where her hero was Karan Dewan. Her second film was ‘Lutera’ (1955) where her hero was Nasir Khan. She however got true recognition with her third film, ‘New Delhi’ (1956) where she played the role of Kishore Kumar’s sister Nikki. She benefited by the success of ‘New Delhi’. In the late 1950s, many films starring her released, including ‘Char Minar’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Jeevan Sathi’, ‘Hathkadi’, ‘Panchayat’, ‘Raagini’, ‘Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane’ and ‘Raat ke Raahi’. In the 60s, Jabeen acted in films like ‘Batwara’, ‘Khiladi’, ‘Sachche Moti’, ‘Taj Mahal’ and ‘Raju’. The ‘Batwara’ song “Ye Raat Ye Fizaayen Phir Aayen Ya Na Aayen” picturised on her and Jawahar Kaul is popular to this day. She also got the National Award for the 1962 Punjabi film ‘Chaudhary Karnail Singh’ in which her hero was Prem Chopra. Jabeen acted in three other Punjabi movies ‘Kadi Dhoop Kadi Chhaon’, ‘Geet Baharaan De’ and ‘Ae Dharti Punjab Di’.
Many songs picturised on her were extremely popular including “Tum Aur Hum, Bhool Ke Gham, Gaayen Pyaari Bhari Sargam” and “Madbhari Hain Pyaar Ki Palken” (‘Fashion’, 1957), “Ta Thaiyya Karte Aana” (‘Panchayat’, 1958), “Piya Main Hoon Patang Tu Dor” (‘Raagini’, 1958), “Qaid Mein Hai Bulbul Sayyaad Muskuraaye” and “Door Kahin Tu Chal Dil Raha Hai Machaal” (‘Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane’, 1959), “Aa Bhi Jaa Bewafa Dil Ki Raahon Mein Aa“, “Tu Kya Samjhe Tu Kya Jaane” and “Ek Nazar Ek Adaa Keemat-E-Dil Aur Hai Kyaa” (Raat Ke Rahi).
Jabeen Jalil quit films in 1974 after wrapping up her career with the film ‘Vachan’. In 2008 she had produced a movie ‘Pehli Nazar Ka Pyaar’.
Jabeen got married in the year 1968. Her Husband Ashok Kak (of Kashmiri origin) hailed from Jodhpur. He was President of the Kodak Company and was the youngest CEO of that time. After moving away from films Jabeen was active in social work also. Jabeen and her family stayed in America for 10 years. The family moved back to Mumbai in 1998. She lives with her husband, son and elderly mother-in-law in her flat in South Bombay and divides her time between playing the devoted wife and the ideal mother. Her son Divvij Kak is also an actor and Jabeen became a producer with Jabeen International.
She lives in Dadar, Mumbai nowadays.
Here is the story of the film, taken from film’s booklet, which does not describe the end part of the film story, but we all know what must be the end of the story.
Towards the end of his life, Sindbad decided to settle down to Public Service and Meditation. He was a man of Justice. His only son Yusuf was adventurous and daring. He wanted to become as famous as his father, if not more. Once during an altercation, his opponent gets killed. Yusuf is arrested for murder and brought before his father. Sindbad sentences his son to death. Meanwhile Yusuf’s beloved admits that not Yusuf but she murdered the man and Yusuf was trying to shield her. She is asked to leave this country by next day morning or get a death sentence. Yusuf objects and he too is sentenced to leave with her next day.
Next day, before Yusuf leaves the country, Sindbad gives him 3 pieces of advice – never to be proud, never to forget the God and never trust women.
How he follows these lessons and becomes like his father is shown in the film.
Today’s song is the 5th song from this film. It is sung by Mohd. Rafi and Geeta Dutt along with Chorus. Enjoy…..
