“Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) is by now an obscure movie, but I was aware of this movie when it was released. Seeing that it was a non Amitabh Bachchan movie, I considered it a B grade movie, not worth my time. Nevertheless, I was not averse to watch a movie if I could get to watch it free. When I used to return back from college in the evening, I came down by walk, which had the added advantage that I came across most movie halls of Ranchi that were located on a single road called Main Road. The newest cinema hall, which also happened to be located closest to my residence was called Sujata Cinema. I found out that while one needed to buy tickets while the movie began, no one checked tickets after half time. So one could wait for the half time when movie watchers came out to buy peanuts, popcorn etc. When they went back inside, their tickets was not checked again. So it was possible to enter the hall in the second half and sit in a vacant seat and watch the second half of the movie. I was able to watch a few flop movies (with very few ticket buyers for them) this way. If my memory is not playing tricks, this movie “Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) was one such movie. I entered the movie hall after second half, watched the movie and left the hall after THE END along with other bonafide movie watchers who had the misfortune of buying tickets of this movie.

Today’s song is from the film Bade Bhaiya-1951.

From the title it seemed to be a family drama, but in reality this was a love story of 2 brothers, with the background of a Carnival and its various shows. This is what I call a misleading title !

The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay, owned by the film’s Director Aspy Irani. The Parsi community of Bombay made a lot of contribution to the early cinema. Remember that the very first Talkie film made in India was by Ardeshir Irani, a Parsi who owned a premier studio and a filmmaking organisation -The Imperial Film company, Bombay. Over a period, the Parsis found other interests and their participation in filmmaking reduced. However, some of the great and memorable actors and directors like Sohrab Modi, the Billimorea brothers, Pearl Padamsee, Boman Irani etc kept the Persian Presence in Hindi films going.
