Today’s song is the last and final song from the social film- My Friend-1974.
The film was produced by Poonamchand Shah for his own banner- Poonam Films, Bombay. It was directed by M. Rehman. The music was from Naushad- who was nearing the end of his Ultra successful career and who was desperately trying to cope up with the waves and trends of the likings of the modern audience.
The cast of the film included Rajiv, Prema Narayan, Purnima, Utpal Dutt, Jagdeep, Asit Sen, Polson, Tun Tun, Badriprasad and a long list of other actors.
The HFGK mentions that the Hero-Rajiv- was ” Nayi Khoj” (New Discovery), implying that this was his Debut film, which is NOT correct.
Actor Rajiv was the son of the producer Poonamchand Shah and had been doing roles as Master Rajiv for the last few years. Another thing. This was also NOT his First film as a Hero. Earlier he had worked as a Lead in the film ” Nayi Umar ki Nayi Fasal”-1965, opposite Tanuja.
My guess is perhaps today’s film My Friend-1974 had started first but got delayed and the other film was released first in 1965. But there is no such proof. I tried hard to dig into books and old magazines etc, but could not find any such information. Later on, Rajiv did one more film opposite Tanuja again as a hero, Bahu ho to aisi ho-1982. All 3 of his films as a Hero were unsuccessful at the Box Office. It also seems, being a Gujarati, Rajiv had worked in few Gujarati films later on.
The director of this film was M.Rehman. He was the son of Music Director- Naushad and this was the only film he ever directed. The 2 other sons of Naushad Maqbool and Sami ur Rehman were his assistants in today’s film. The third assistant was Uttam Singh, who became a well known Music Director in his later years.
The story of this film was a little odd and offbeat, considering the normal Love stories. Being different from the normal alone is not a passport to success. The story has to be credible too, though different. Here the story lacked and affected the film. The story of the film was…..
The 1974 Hindi action drama My Friend, revolves around an unconventional, ultra progressive relationship between a wealthy father- Seth Motichand (Utpal Dutt) and his college going son Raju (Rajiv). Instead of a traditional patriarchal dynamic father, Motichand treats Raju strictly as a friend, accompanying him to horse races, social parties, and cabaret shows. This ultra-liberal lifestyle deeply concerns Raju’s conservative mother and Motichand’s peers, who believe he is spoiling his son.
The primary conflict arises when Raju falls in love with a cabaret dancer (played by Prema Narayan). Expecting his broad-minded father to accept the relationship, Raju is shocked to discover that Motichand’s progressive exterior is merely a façade. In reality, the father is a hypocrite using his modern lifestyle as a cover for extra-marital affairs and manipulative schemes.
Upon uncovering his father’s true nature and deceptive behavior, Raju decides to stand up against him. The story follows the strife between father and son as Raju successfully thwarts his father’s underhanded plots, leading to a climax where true love ultimately triumphs over hypocrisy.
Utpal Dutt, who enacts a major role in the film, was a powerful actor. In fact he ” ate away” the role of the Hero itself ! He was one of my favourite character actor, who turned every role into creating a hearty laugh.
Utpal Dutt (29 March 1929 – 19 August 1993) was an actor, director, and writer-playwright. He was primarily an actor in Bengali theatre, where he became a pioneering figure in Modern Indian theatre, when he founded the “Little Theatre Group” in 1949. This group enacted many English, Shakespearean and Brecht plays, in a period now known as the “Epic theatre” period, before it immersed itself completely in highly political and radical theatre. His plays became an apt vehicle for the expression of his Marxist ideologies, visible in socio-political plays such as Kallol (1965), Manusher Adhikar, Louha Manab (1964), Tiner Tolowar and Maha-Bidroha. He also acted in over 100 Bengali and Hindi films in a career spanning 40 years, and remains most known for his roles in films such as Mrinal Sen’s Bhuvan Shome (1969), Satyajit Ray’s Agantuk (1991), Gautam Ghose’s Padma Nadir Majhi (1992) and Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s breezy Hindi comedies such as Gol Maal (1979) and Rang Birangi (1983). He also did the role of a sculptor, Sir Digindra Narayan, in the episode Seemant Heera of Byomkesh Bakshi (TV series) on Doordarshan in 1993, shortly before his death.
He received the National Film Award for Best Actor in 1970 and three Filmfare Best Comedian Awards. In 1990, the Sangeet Natak Akademi, India’s National Academy of Music, Dance and Theatre, awarded him its highest award, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship for lifetime contribution to theatre.
Utpal Dutta was born into a Bengali Kayastha family on 29 March 1929 in Barisal. His father was Girijaranjan Dutta. After initial schooling, he completed Matriculation from St. Xavier’s Collegiate School, Calcutta in 1945. He graduated with English Literature Honours from St. Xavier’s College, Calcutta, University of Calcutta in 1949.
Though he was active primarily in Bengali theatre, he started his career in English theatre. As a teenager in the 1940s, he developed his passion and craft in English theatre, which resulted in the establishment of “The Shakespeareans” in 1947. Its first performance was a powerful production of Shakespeare’s Richard III, with Dutt playing the king. This so impressed Geoffrey Kendal and Laura Kendal (parents of the actress Jennifer Kendal), who led the itinerant “Shakespeareana Theatre Company”, that they immediately hired him, and he did two year-long tours with them (first 1947–49 and later 1953–54) across India and Pakistan, enacting Shakespeare’s plays; and was acclaimed for his passionate portrayal of Othello. After the Kendals left India for the first time in 1949, Utpal Dutt renamed his group the “Little Theatre Group” (LTG), and over the next three years, continued to perform and produce plays by Ibsen, Shaw, Tagore, Gorky and Konstantin Simonov. The group later decided to stage exclusively Bengali plays and to eventually evolve into a production company that would produce several Bengali movies. He also remained an active member of Gananatya Sangha, which performed through rural areas of West Bengal.
He was also a member of Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), an organisation known for its leftist leaning. He joined the Bengal unit of IPTA in 1950, but left it the following year, when he started his theatre group, the People’s Little Theatre. He wrote and directed what he called “Epic Theatre”, a term he borrowed from Bertolt Brecht, to bring about discussion and change in Bengal. His Brecht Society, formed in 1948, was presided by Satyajit Ray. He became one of the most influential personalities in the Group Theatre movement. While accepting Brecht’s belief of the audience being “co-authors” of the theatre, he rejected orthodoxies of “Epic theatre” as being impractical in India. He also remained a teacher of English at the South Point School in Kolkata.
Dutt was also an extremely famous comic actor in Hindi cinema, though he acted in only a handful of Hindi films. He acted in comedy movies, the most notable ones being Guddi, Gol Maal, Naram Garam, Rang Birangi and Shaukeen. He received Filmfare Best Comedian Award for Golmaal, Naram Garam and Rang Birangi. He appeared in Bhuvan Shome, (for which he was awarded the National Film Award for Best Actor), Ek Adhuri Kahani and Chorus, all by Mrinal Sen; Agantuk, Jana Aranya, Joi Baba Felunath and Hirak Rajar Deshe, by Satyajit Ray; Paar and Padma Nadir Majhi, by Gautam Ghose; Bombay Talkie, The Guru, and Shakespeare Wallah, by James Ivory; Jukti Takko Aar Gappo, by Ritwik Ghatak; Guddi, Gol Maal, Naram Garam and Kotwal Saab by Hrishikesh Mukherjee; Shaukeen, Priyatama and Hamari Bahu Alka directed by Basu Chatterjee and Amanush, Anand Ashram and Barsaat Ki Ek Raat by Shakti Samanta.
Utpal Dutt also played the main villain characters in some of the major successful Amitabh Bachchan starrers such as The Great Gambler, Inquilaab (film) and the bilingual Hindi/Bangla movie Barsaat Ki Ek Raat. In fact, Utpal Dutt was the Hero (main lead) in Amitabh Bachchan’s maiden venture Saat Hindustani.
In 1960, Dutt married theatre and film actress Shobha Sen. Their only daughter, Bishnupriya Dutt, is a professor of Theatre & Performance studies at the School of Arts & Aesthetics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
On 19 August 1993, Dutt died due to a heart attack right after he returned home from the S.S.K.M hospital, Calcutta, West Bengal where he had undergone dialysis.
Here is the last and final song from this film, sung by Lata Mangeshkar. This makes the film YIPPEED !
