Hullo Atuldom
Beginning this post with a few thoughts that have been running through my head. What is the time or age to define something as old?
I have been observing people around me, for the last few years of my better half’s tenure, at his last workplace. I am saying “last workplace” as he has decided to call it a day; inspite of loving what he has achieved over the last 45 years. People consider him young enough to open up about their joys & sorrows. His colleagues cannot believe or don’t want him to hang his boots yet. Of course, I am very proud of all that his co-workers (he doesn’t call them subordinates) have to say about him.
Then there are residents in this colony who may be about the same age as my spouse but look so old & my deduction for that is ‘maybe because the concerned individual is not physically occupied with things that interest them; or because they have retired from their jobs & not kept themselves occupied; or simply that the individual has let himself/ herself be labelled old’. But when when I look at my spouses’ brothers who are nearing 70, still look like in their 50s & are sure they can pull wool over people’s eyes about their age.
The above are the points that made me think “how old is old? when is a person or thing old?”
Similarly, movies of what period are categorised as old, older, still older & oldest. Plus, our blog has one nomenclature of it’s own- “new by the standards of this blog.” 🙂
The song in today’s post falls into the bracket of NEW i.e. “Newer than the standards of this blog”. But it was released in 2002; that means it is 22 years old. That means for a section of followers of the blog it will be part of their growing up years; some would have seen the film with their young children; & some would have never heard of the film.
The film that I am speaking of is the 2002 released Anupam Kher directorial debut “Om Jai Jagdish”. It had an all star cast which was lead by Waheeda Rehman. Anil Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Urmila Matondkar, Mahima Chaudhary, Tara Sharma, played Waheeda Rehman’s family. Parmeet Sethi, Achint Kaur, Lillette Dubey, Raju Kher, Annu Kapoor, Rakesh Bedi, Shirish Sharma, Anjan Shrivastav, etc were in the supporting cast. Anu Malik was the music director with Sameer writing the 7 songs. Kunal Ganjawala, Sonu Nigam, Abhijit, Alka Yagnik, Hariharan, Shaan, KK, Udit Narayan, Hema Sardesai, and Kavitha Krishnamurthy were the playback singers used.
The story of the film is thus:
“Saraswati Batra (Waheeda Rehman) is the widowed mother of Om (Anil Kapoor), Jai (Fardeen Khan) and Jagadish (Abhishek Bachchan). Om is responsible and provides the income for the whole family. He works in a music company owned by his friend, Shekhar Malhotra (Parmeet Sethi). Jai is very ambitious (he wants to construct the world’s fastest car) and is studying in the United States. His education is paid by Om for which he has taken loan from Shekhar Malhotra. Jagadish is a college student who is very good with computers.
They all want different things and soon Om & Jai marry. Om marries the bubbly Ayesha (Mahima Chaudhry), an MTV VJ and Jai marries Neetu (Urmila Matondkar), the daughter of a rich NRI. Jagadish is in love with Pooja (Tara Sharma) who is from Bangalore; they meet at a college festival. When Jai clashes with Om’s values, they drift apart.
Soon Jai receives a promotion back in the United States and leaves with Neetu. Jagadish is caught computer hacking after trying to help a friend get the answers to a test and Om throws him out of the house as a result. Om, Ayesha and his mother have to leave the house after Om failed to pay the loan covering it. The three brothers are separated. Eventually, they all come together at the house auction to buy it back. Om is at the auction to see the winner and is surprised when Jagadish shows up to bid. He reveals that he used his hacking skills to create a program to block hackers instead. Jai comes at the end of the auction and bids more, which he got by selling his engine for the fastest car and realizes that his future is in India not in the United States. He doesn’t have enough so the three brothers combine their money to win back the house, but it isn’t enough. Finally, it is revealed that the CEO of the company that Jagadish made the hacking program bid for the house and won. Jagadish made a deal that the price of the house is the price of the program. The three brothers reunite and move back into the house.”
The above goes to show that it was a family-drama like those that were popular in the 60s.
Today’s song has the Batra matriarch (Waheeda Rehman) out on a picnic with her family. Alka Yagnik, Kavitha Krishnamurthy, Udit Narayan & Sonu Nigam give their voices to the song. With this we wish Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner Waheeda Rehman (3rd February) on her birthday. She turned 86. Also Urmila Matondkar turned 50 yesterday (4th February). 5th February happens to be Abhishek Bachchan’s birthday, he turns 48.
After seeing the song I would like to know about “who is old older & oldest” among the cast of this film. 🙂
