‘Mast’ (1999) was a romantic fantasy film which was produced and directed by Ramgopal Varma. The cast included Urmila and Aftab Shivdasani (debutant) in the lead roles supported by Dalip Tahil, Smita Jaykar, Govind Namdeo, Antara Mali, Niraj Vora, Raju Mavani, Suhas Bhalekar, Rajpal Yadav (debutant) etc.

As admitted by Ramgopal Varma in an interview with rediff.com just before the release of the film, during his younger days, he had an obsession with Sridevi. In the later years, he felt that most of the teenagers may be fantasising in their minds about their obsessions with actors. So, he felt that this obsession with an actor can be made into a musical romantic film. Ramesh Khatkar and Vinod Ranganathan jointly wrote the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film based on Ramgopal Varma’s own experiences.

Recently, I came across the film ‘Hari Bhari’ (2000) when I was scrolling through the filmography of Shyam Benegal. After going through the details of the film, I thought that this may be a documentary film because the film was produced by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and National Film Development Corporation (NDFC). The title of the film which in English means ‘fertility’ reinforced my assumption of a documentary film on family planning. The film had Shabana Azmi, Rajit Kapur, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Nandita Das, Surekha Sikri, Seema Bhargav and other actors who have been usually associated with Shyam Benegal films. The duration and the songs in the film created a doubt in me whether it was really a documentary film. So, I decided to watch the film at least for the sake of its songs.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were some Hindi films which were labelled as ‘parallel cinema’, ‘new wave cinema’ or ‘art cinema’ when they were released. The films included ‘Bhuvan Shome’ (1969) by Mrinal Sen, ‘Uski Roti’ (1969) by Mani Kaul, ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969) by Basu Chatterjee, ‘Maya Darpan’ (1972) by Kumar Sahni, ‘Garam Hawa’ (1974) by M S Sathyu and ‘Ankur’ (1974) by Shyam Benegal. Among these films, there was a film titled ’27 Down’ (1973) about which I had a faint memory. Few days back, the name of this film came back to my mind when I read an article with a curiosity-creating caption, ‘A class IV employee, his only film won two National Awards, died at 35……. Who was Awtar Kaul?’ in The Economic Times, September 22, 2025. He was none other than the director of ’27 Down’ (1973).

Subsequently, I read two more articles about Awtar Kaul – one in ‘Chinar Shade’ by Avtar Mota and another in ‘The Wire’ by his nephew, Vinod Kaul. Surprisingly all these articles appeared during 2024-25.

Incidentally, ’27 Down’ (1974) was screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in 2024 to commemorate 50 years of the film’s release. Perhaps these articles appeared around that time as tributes to Awtar Kaul on 50th year of his passing away on July 20, 1974.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1966 Bhojpuri movie ‘Loha Singh (Bhojpuri)’.

Regulars on the blog would wonder on my new found love for Bhojpuri songs. Yes, I am enjoying listening to the songs of yesteryear Bhojpuri films that were made from sixties to eighties. ( I like a song from the recent years too, but we will have to wait for that 🙂 ).

Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) mentions that the movie ‘Loha Singh-1966’ was directed by Kundan Kumar for Vikramsheel Arts. The cast of this movie had Sujit Kumar, Vijaya Chaudhary, R.S. Kashyap, Sujata, Tiwari, Sheel Kumar, Helen and others.

The film seems to be in the making for a long time. It is said that the film was planned sometime in the second half of 1960s with Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu in the lead roles. Incidentally, film’s producer, Sham Behl (elder brother of producer, Ramesh Behl) is the brother-in-law of Rajendra Kumar.

‘Dastoor’ (1991) was produced by Harish Munjal and Prem Chugh and was directed by Anil Mattoo. The cast included debutants Dolly Minhas, Pomy Dev in the lead roles supported by Sharmila Tagaore, Suresh Oberoi, Raza Murad, Alok Nath, Manohar Singh, Johny Lever, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Dinesh Hingoo, Harish Munjal etc. Amita Nangia made her friendly appearance in the film. I have watched the film for the first time only a few days back in one sitting. The film is a murder mystery drama with a fast-paced narratives to keep the audience engrossed while watching the film.

The opening scene of the film gives a feel of watching some of the suspense thriller films of the 1960s like ‘Wo Kaun Thhi’ (1964), ‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) and ‘Mera Saaya’ (1966). A girl in white, without any expression, walks through the forest in a dark night with a background song, her destination being an architecturally impressive palatial mansion in which the owner lives alone. The caretkaer of the dmansion is seen smoking his chillum. After some time, he is seen switching off the lights of the first floor of the mansion. Simultaneously, a man in hat is also walking toward the mansion. An unidentified person has killed the watchman of the mansion by suffocating him. Inside the house is a pet eagle which makes a noise, probably giving a notice that someone has entered inside the mansion. Another man is slowly climbing the stairs with camera focussed only on his legs. Now, inside the mansion, there are four persons in addition to the owner of the house – the caretaker, the girl in white, the man with a hat and a person climbing the stairs in the mansion. All these scenes of movements give an indication to the audience that something is going to happen inside the mansion.
